    My scraper/brusher has a long, extendable handle. I always always always brush off my car completely, because I hate driving behind someone that hasn't. Inevitably, a big hunk of snow will come loose and hit my car. Blech. This is especially true of the western Kansas rednecks (why don't these people go to KState?) who drive great big pick-up trucks and never clean out the beds. Cause they think it's hilarious to let the back fill up with snow.

    Also, why is it that professional car washers can get your windows so clean it looks like they are no longer there, but when you try it, no matter what you use, it's always smudged and streaked?
    I think it has a lot to do with the 'professional' part of that... actually, I've spoken to a detailer before and he honestly didn't know what to tell me on almost the same subject. *shrug*... persistence?

    Oh I hate that too!

    I try to clean off my entire car when I brush.....even though my arms are really short and it can take quite a bit.

    I love when I'm in a hurry so I just do what I can to be able to see and clean off all the lights, etc.....and as soon as I get on the freeway and start picking up speed, all the snow from the top of the car slumps down the windshield.

    AND when the driver's side windshield wiper decides to be stuck or not want to wipe very well without me getting out, forcing it down so that it does wipe

    The same, except it's clumps of ice that fell from the top of your car because, after having to do so twice (and will again tomorrow, you're not interested in entirely clearing the top of your car... Snowmaggedon sucks...

    So besides the crappy conditions and already dreading the drive, you now have to make a pitstop because there is NO way you'll make it even another few miles without getting more.

    Same, except the fluid froze. That happens all the freaken time. I think ice blocks the holes the fluid comes out from.

    When your SO leaves all the lights on, or boosts up the central air in the house when he’s only in one room and then asks you why its such a big problem. Here let me give you all the bills and you can figure out the finances.

    When your waiting for a pregnancy to end and are stuck at home seeing the same walls for 2 weeks straight due to the snow and ice on the roads keeping you at home. Cabin fever doesn’t even cover it.

    When people that do their dishes in the communal sink don't rinse out the remaining soap suds.

    Above area, but they don't wipe down the wet counter when they are done.

    When I don't put my id or keys where I normally put them. This is normally done when my mind is preoccupied.

    When professors don't send an email saying that class is canceled and you don't know until you get to the classroom where there is a sign about it. This happened before Thanksgiving Break. I could have been out of there two hours early, but noooo.

    Right now it's the slow internet connection that's REALLY pissing me off.

    Yeah the little things...like when the kitchen sink is full of dishes with an empty dishwasher right next to it. Or people at work who drink the last of the coffee and can't be bothered to spend 2 minutes or less making a new pot. Speaking of cigarettes, I hate when I take one out, and put it down or something, then pick it up wrong and light the wrong end.

    I have no fence, and we can't put one up due to condo regulations.
