Pro Tip: Upon realizing, after the fact, that you can’t see
out of your frost-covered windshield, the middle of the road is the perfect
place to stop and scrape
Wow, that's helpful. I can't imagine how much time I would have wasted pulling into a parking lot or driveway or something.
Winter sucks.
It's not only cold and snowy, but it makes people do stupid things. Like This Guy who drives around with snow on the roof of his car because he can't be bothered to brush it off. Sure, it's more convenient for you, and nuts to the people behind you who have to see through your portable snow storm and possible avalanche into the middle of the road.
People also don't bother making sure they can see out of their windshield before they start driving to their destination because hey...they're very important people with very important things that demand their attention. They don't have time for silly things like visibility. So you get a couple different variations. You get the "spray washer fluid on the window and hope for the best" approach, the "scrape a 4 inch hole in your direct line of sight" approach, and the "the defroster will get there eventually" blooming flower of melted ice. These are all stupid, and I hate you for doing them.
Well, for those of you who realize a little too late that you are "that guy" and you actually can't see out of your windshield after you've set forth on your journey, they do make ice scrapers. And no, there's no need to pull over to the side of the road once you realize your mistake. You don't need to turn off into a driveway or in any way remove your car from the proper right-of-way. You can just stop your car directly in the middle of the road, pop the door open, and start scraping away.
At least that's what I gathered from the idiot on my way to work this morning.
