Sprayed in face with windshield washer
Some things **** me off more than others.
I f'n hate it when a-holes don't look in their rearview mirrors before using their windshield washer.
My wife got irritated with me for bitching some guy out at a red light for spraying us. She thinks I over react and I'm going to get arrested eventualy.
Alright! It wasn't that bad

Who looks in their mirror when they clean their winshield? Don't like the taste of the blue kool aid....don't ride behind me. WTF. Like is the whole world supposed to look out for you? You want some cheese with that whine???

I'll side with your wife on this one. You over reacted. How many car owners have any idea that their windshield washers will spray up over the top of the car? The washers on my Z are in the wipers so I doubt they spray anywhere but on the windshield (but at speed the wind might carry some spray up over the car). Could you have been following too close?

Get a grip. If the nozzle is spraying on his windshield and it mists back over you, you are riding too close. If the nozzle sprays OVER his car and pisses right on you, you can certainly be annoyed!!! Make the problem known to the driver, but throwing a verbal hissing fit just embarrass's your wife, and leaves a poor representation of bikers in general. After the justified expletive, how about letting the guy know the danger he is causing, plus the wasting of his fluid. You get more bees with honey, kind of logic. The Mother in me says you are a Big Boy now, get what you want by using your manners.

Seriously, we know the drivers aren't looking out for us at intersections or lane changes, WHY THE HELL WOULD WE EXPECT THEM TO LOOK OUT FOR US WHEN THEY PUSH THE WIPER BUTTON? Bottom line, you overreacted to an everyday occurence. Like Weed said, be glad it wasn't tobacco, a **** cup or some other nasty stuff.

My father used to tell me this all the time: "Son, don't go looking for trouble. Trouble will find you often enough."
I also try to live by this: "Don't get upset at something that won't matter a few hours from now."
Most traffic situations, where you think you've been wronged, fall under these two "rules for living".

what really pisses me off is the people in the big RV's that "forget" to tighten their grey/waste water outlet cap.. too lazy to take it to a waste dump.. if there is a lot of traffic it takes a while for you to find out where that wet stuff is coming from..
