Corolla wiper control lever
One of two instances of surprisingly bad design on my 2007 Toyota Corolla, which is otherwise a very well-designed car.
This is the wiper control. To turn the wipers on, you push the lever down. This is backwards. I associate "on" with "up" (example: the common household light switch). I've had this car for nearly two years, and I still find myself occasionally pushing the lever down when I want the wipers to turn off. This just makes the wipers go faster, which is quite irritating.
