I think I discovered a scam. SPEAK OUT NOW!!
While driving in to work this morning, I needed to use my windshield wipers. They did a fine job on all areas of the windshield except the area directly in my line of vision. I got to a thinkin' and realized that it always seems to be that way when wipers "go bad". Anyone else ever notice this?

I think that wiper manufactures design their blades to go bad in that exact place so you have to get new ones every 6 months. This is an OUTRAGE! C'mon people, don't let these bastards get away with this sort of thing. We need to speak out and demand an investigation on this bullshit and we need to do it NOW!!!

"Wipergate" will not go away *that* easy! Who's with me?

:tinfoilhat:


Say it with me... "God Damn The Wiper man...God Damn The Wiper man...God Damn The Wiper man..."

2. I laugh in the face of the manufacturers and continue to use them
anyway...I use them until they are shredded, which takes about 10 months from purchase. I refuse to let them separate me from my money!!!!!!!!!

4. But I can't see well
If I run over a litter of puppies I am filing a suit against the wiper people.

3. If you study the motion of the wiper arms themselves...
You'll notice it's the Passenger's side which is clear most of the
time. The blades scrape everything in front of the Driver!

*shakes fist in rage*

I DEMAND WIPEAGE!

10. OMG~!!!! I know! And the defrost, too!
It seems to work better on the passenger side, whether or someone is sitting in the seat...

9. Occasionally you can find the "Squeegie Guys" in
NYC. They'll help you get that spot your wipers aren't getting.

11. Beat them at their own game: Rain-X
I use it and when it rains, and I mean torrential downpours, I never turn them on.
Good stuff!
