Icon2 shifting gears while car is off = bad?

while the car is off

is it bad to play around with the shifter
is it not being lubricated properly
are the gear teeth being chewed up


i do it a lot in my 98 civic and started thinking about if i was damaging my transmission by doing it

The gear teeth aren't rotating, so they aren't being chewed up. It doesn't matter.
