He made a ‘gaaah’ noise and ran off.

Obviously just winged him. Better luck next time.
Yet when you’re driving down the highway with bugs splattering all over your windshield, there’s not a single one of those bastards in sight.

Because then it would be work to clean off the windshield. And they’re not on the corner because they like working.

It’s also hard to clean the window of a car traveling 75 mph.

Sure, but then that would be worth paying a dollar to see.

Made him a Unitarian. Before, he was just a unit.

There’s an episode of Instant Star (a Canadian show) that has the lead and her friend stop to eat at a Chinese place. The owner comes over all agitated and tells them that “We don’t serve squeegee kids.”
This confused me because:
a. they were musicians, not window washers - they didn’t coincidentally have any supplies for window washing with them either.
b. that seems really rude and randomly discriminatory

Maybe the owner meant that squeegee kids are not part of his menu…
Please don’t give anyone a faceful of windshield-wiper fluid. It’s based on methanol, and is very, very poisonous. It’s not water, or anything like it.

Delurking just to say this – sorry to start off in such an annoying fashion.

I’m not seeing the downside.
*stands up and claps for Spoons that was beautiful man. Very nicely done.
And luckily, I don’t live in a place with these squeege kids, but if I did, you can bet your ass I’d be duplicating the actions of the OP, methanol or no.

Of course it is poisonous – all the better for shooting the squeegee kids.
Ah, I get it. Risking seriously injuring someone is an appropriate response if that person is sufficiently startling or annoying. This is not the MB for me, I see. Never mind.

A squirt of washer fluid in the face will not cause serious injury.

We have squeegee kids and panhandlers galore here in Victoria, and the Tim Horton’s my husband and I stopped at last night was advertising a HIRING FAIR, with leaflets and sandwich board type displays touting the benefits of working there. Help Wanted signs everywhere (mostly in retail, but that’s where I’m noticing it) and still…
[/QUOTE]
To be fair, I can’t imagine many places that would give jobs to people who are homeless, which many, if not most, of the squeegee kids and panhandlers probably are.

Probably not. But what if you squirt them in the face, and they get it in the eyes or mouth?

Blink and spit.
Or jump back in agony only to fall under the wheels of a passing transport.
Look, I get it. Squeegee kids are annoying. Why does that mean anyone should sink to their level? Squirting them in the face is just childish.
