So, I ask you, are you:
A. Psychotic about having a clean windshield when you’re driving, like I am?
or
B. Satisfied with your windshield as long as you have ate least a centimeter size hole for visibiliy like Rob is?
I have to have gallons and gallons of the “blue washer stuff” to survive the winter. Rob, on the other hand would probably be great with an eye dropper full! 🙂 His philosophy is as why swish the windshield if it’s just going to get dirty again! And, maybe it’s more of an adventure to have to search the windshield for a pocket of visibility…I don’t know. Me on the other hand, I take full advantage of swishing the windshield as many times as it takes to keep my view clear. Is this a guy/girl thing?
I don’t recommend, however, swishing the blue stuff on the windshield in the freezing cold before the defrost starts to work. I probably have done that a few mornings this past week and then the windshield is really bad — with those star shaped freezed specs of blue stuff all over. I guess that’s what they make scrapers for….
Well, enough random thoughts for the day! I need to go scrape my windshield. 🙂
i like clean…. but for guys.. it is like a game… try to remember all of the cars in front of you and around you just prior to you not being able to see anything…
but especially in winter.. i am about conserving the blue stuff… it is bad for the enviroment.
use minimal squirts to see where you need to go
I just need to see!!! Too many things out there that I don’t want to run into.
The exception is those coolllddd days when your windshield frosts over while you are at work and you “jjuuuussttt wwwwannnt tooo ggggo hoommme!”
I like clean to mostly clean. I am often saying to John “say, would you run the wiper please” so that I can – at least I think I can – aid in his driving experience. He’d just as soon not swish and leave it until some dude passes us who sends a wave of mud across our front so that he gets a freebie.
Donna – I have managed to learn a quick swift move that allows me to conveniently swish the windshield wipers and squirt the blue stuff “for Rob” it’s a little tricky to pull off, but I’ve got it down…sneak the left hand over…push the thingy and pull the lever down all in one movement. I can teach you if you want! 🙂
Weird thing is that Rob often doesn’t even know it’s needed – you could say it’s a little unexpected gift from me. ~ CAK
Yo, Optional, you drive a land yacht and you’re concerned with a coupla squirts of the blue stuff and the environment???
I don’t think John knows it’s needed either!
Maybe I am just lazy and do not want to expend the energy it takes to dispense the “blue stuff”.
Maybe I like to save as much money as possible so that I can buy my sweetie (Carol Ann) Starbucks 12 times each day!
I definitely am the swisher of the family! I’m always doing it while Dave is driving. It’s funny though because I always sneak to do it too because I don’t want to offend him. haha! In Wyoming when it was -27 degrees I tried doing it and I got a scolding because it was frozen and it made the windshield really bad with the wipers on it. OOPS!
That’s so funny! It drives me nuts even when Brandon is the one driving and I’m only in the passenger seat, that I can’t see out of it! I wait and see if he might do it, and when I just can’t take it anymore, I say you should use the wiper fluid. Must be a guy thing. Too funny
I too am in the catagory of “swisher” The more “blue stuff” the better I say. I get claustrophobic when people, namely my husband, won’t swish when they need to. I can only take it so long and then I have to say, “Can you see like that?” I don’t always get the desired result of “the swish”, but I do feel better.
LONG LIVE THE SWISHERS! SWISHERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
the wife drives the land yacht… and if i can’t see… it just means i run over anything in the way… so no prob there,
i run without running the wipers… and typing on the blackberry as i talk.. as i drink my diet coke and eat my e.coli taco…
so there
We are just trying to conserve the blue stuff. 🙂
