I don't mind it as much when I'm moving, but the other day the lady in front of me started washing her windshield in stopped traffic, and her wipers literally just sprayed me with a solid stream. I doubt that she got her windshield clean at all. I honked at her and she quit fortunately.

It hit you at a stand still? Like from over the front or the back nozzel from a minivan/suv?

Those things can shoot pretty far if not adjusted correctly.

Yup, straight over the top of her car to hit me full in the chest. It was pretty ridiculous.

I think the worst is when you spray yourself in your own vehicle..roll down your windows and spray your windshield... or maybe thats just me...

I was about to tell Pete that he was alone on that one, but maybe I'm the weird one. I just keep my windows up and don't have a sunroof. It's usually too hot here to roll the window down anyway.

Yah, I've sprayed myself as well.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one, though. Darn sunroofs will catch you every time.
Have fun on the open /¦\

The best is when the sunroof is open and you decide to just scream right through that massive puddle on the road....oh yeah!
