So this just happened, and I honestly have no idea what to do, except to post my misfortune on reddit.
I normally get to my kids' elementary school to pick her up an hour or so early. If you think I'm crazy, the line when I leave is about 3 blocks long. I'd rather show up early, get some work done, play on my switch, and relax in my car.
Today, I decided to be a little more proactive than usual and clean my car while waiting. Particularly, my steering wheel needed attention. It had that stuff on it that's a mixture of the plastic wearing off and dirt from hands, and honestly, it looked gross.
So I get the Armorall wipes and go to town on this steering wheel. It is no easy task to take this stuff off, so I am really working the steering wheel with these wipes. When school starts to get out and the teachers come out to let kids into the cars, I am now fully into my task. I have completed the top part of the wheel and working on the bottom.
I'm sweating, grunting, and my head is down in full focus. I think you can imagine what motions I am making, and I'm sure the car was rocking back and forth as well. I lock eyes with a teacher and see that she is mildly horrified. As it downs on me what this looks like, I try to justify my actions by holding up one of the wipes... which just looks like I cleaned up with a kleenex.
Thank God I know the teacher and it was easily explained but hot damn if I am not extremely embarrassed.
TL;DR I was cleaning my steering wheel infront of an elementary school and it looked like I was jacking off. Even showed a teacher a used kleenex.

This sounds like something you saw in a sitcom...
