it's been rainy and dark for a couple of days.
i don't mind the wet. i don't mind the cold. i don't even really mind too much when raindrops get on my glasses.
and honestly, the rain doesn't get me down. this weather is kind of neat. it's different. i especially like thunderstorms.
but what does piss me off about the rain is the HORRIBLE RUBBERY SCRAPING NOISE my windsheild wipers make. jezus fucking christ, make it stop!! it's absolutely soul-wrenchingly, ear-bleedingly terrible.
it happens when my windshield is not wet enough. the wipers howl in pain as they make their arc across the glass. sometimes the only way i can make the rubbery noise stop is to make sure the windshield gets wet. the easiest way to accomplish this is by tailgating: the car in front of me kicks up a lot of extra water, which makes the wipers glide, perfectly silent.
yes, i'm risking my life. i could easily hydroplane into the bumper of the car ahead of me. but at least i won't go mad from the wipers.
fuck. seriously.

you are in a bad way.
actually,
we have a car in which the wipers make that noise all the time. wet. or. dry.
windshield wipers are inexpensive and easy to replace, maybe you need new ones.

Posted by: christa at March 18, 2005 01:43 AMI agree with you completely - that rubbery scraping noise is absolutely horrible. You have to have lots and lots of water sluicing down the windshield to prevent it, it seems. And when it's just sprinkling out, that isn't enough water.
