CAR WINDOW

Car Window

If there is one thing that drives me nuts is when I can’t see through my car window. My husband smokes, so there is always some sort of gook on the window, and because he always has the car, it builds up by the time I get to it. It is almost impossible to get the windows clean like I want them, and there is never enough time to get them cleaned anyway. If I go on a trip with my car, I have to set aside an entire afternoon just to clean the car.

On my last car trip, the car window in the back had a haze on it, and I didn’t know it until I was in a strange city in the middle of the night. Not only did I not know where I was going, I couldn’t see out the back. The little bit of gunk on the car window diffused the light to the point where I couldn’t see. The side windows were a little better, but the front window was the worst. The headlights seemed twice as bright and I ended having to pull over and wash the windows. It took me an hour.

If you are going away, don’t skip cleaning your windows. I tend to make that mistake when going on shorter trips. Perhaps it’s just me, but smudges on a car window in my car are enough to drive me mad. I can’t even stand rain on the windshield. I have a friend who will drive for ten minutes after it starts raining before she starts her wiper blades, and even then, there are so many dead bugs on her car window that it just makes a mess and I can’t see. I don’t know how she drives like that.

Perhaps I am just a freak, but this is how I go. I might be more scared of driving than I think I am, and that might be why I can so weird about having a clean car window no matter which direction I have to look. I’m not so picky about my home windows, and there are times when I laugh when I see how dirty they have gotten. I chalk it up to one of those weird things about me that my husband just has to live with. I guess there could be worse things that wanting to have a clean car window.
