So there i am, driving down PCH minding my own business. When this assnozzle in front of me turns on his windshield wiper fluid shit and spews his gunky ass water all over my fucking hood.

Look you dickrag, see all that water going up your windshield, there is no magical water catching net up there. There is a whole lotta fucking air with my name on it. Where the fuck do you think your shitstained windshield water goes while you are driving 45 down this shitty excuse for a 2 lane road. Don’t look all suprised when I honk at your dumb ass either. Why don’t they teach dumbass drivers ed. at the DMV for ass spelonkers like this.

While we are on the subject of shit head drivers. To that asshole in the ambulence without your lights on in no fucking hurry to go anywhere who felt the need to cut me off. Save the drama for a real emergency you dog shit eating anal lube squirting bastard who has sex with infertile sheep. I hope some fat hairy homosexual gorilla finds you after it escapes from the zoo and gives you a rectal lobatomy.

(my first rant! I am a little pissed off at life in general today. feels good to rant and rave.)

I confess. I use my windshield wiper fluid as needed, without regard to people that may be trying to drive right up my ass. Sorry.:rolleyes:

Gee, too bad you didn’t have some sort of cleaning fluid that could squirt out and get that stuff off your windshield. That’d be a neat invention.

Yea, It would be nice if they made one to clean the shit off my hood too.

Oh, I’ve heard that there’s something called a “hose” or a “sponge” that does that - or even a newfangled thing called a “car wash”.

Would you rather have people unable to see well out their windshield and involve you in an accident as a result?

How the hell do you know he didn’t have anyplace to go to? Ambulances often transport people who are not in immediate danger of dying. Duh.

And I will clean my windshield any damn time I want. Back off if it’s so important to you to keep your hood clean. If you get wet, that means you’re too close.

Are you unable to think before you type or just horribly retarded. Listen to yourself! Because this assrag decides to spray his cleaning juices all over the place, ‘I’ have to pay for it by washing my car?

And while it’s all fine and dandy that now he can see out his window (I’m sure he has trouble seeing because he’s been driving down this road for a while now, not to mention pulling out of his garage and driving on who knows how many other friggen roads.) Now I am the one with a shitstained window. I’m glad he can see through his once grime encrusted window, but now I am the receptacle for his shitwater.

Oh yeah …this was my point - you do not own the air 50’ around your car. There’s other people using the same road as you. They pay taxes, too. Deal.

Thats what the lights are for.

But he was just getting on the freeway and cuts in front of me, like he jerked the wheel trying to get his bagel off the floor or something. I had to swirve and hit the breaks. sorry for not pointing this out. Didn’t know i had to spell out everything for you people.  
And why am I defending myself in my own pit ranting. Fuck you all the height of fuckitude.

If the water hit your hood you were following too damn close.

Wait a minute. I thought you realized that you needed to spell it out for us?

A bullet with your name on it??? I don’t get it.

I’m with the driving-too-close crowd. And the you-are-a-fucking-idiot crowd, too. Try decaf.

My driver’s ed. teacher said that people do this to express their frustration that the driver behind can’t field a clue that he’s following too close. Personally, I’d rather they do this, than jam on the breaks. er, brakes.

ok ok, last time i’m going to reply. You people have taken a nice harmless rant and turned it into the assclown convention.

Going 45-55 down the road, I was a good 4-5 car lenghs behind this guy. Now the water from his windshield piles up, then the wiper sweeps it all UP. lemme repeat that because apparently it didn’t smack you upside the head hard enough the first time. THE FUCKING WATER SPRAYS UP. I travel 5 car lenghs in a few seconds. long enough to get his toilet waste on…my…fucking…hood.

Thanks for listening, hope you enjoyed your lecture at ‘shit I already covered’ 101.

Gosh, I hope you don’t drive after a rainstorm. A lot of inconsiderate people might drive through dirty puddles too, and splash your precious car.
