I think a lot of cars have their windshield washers aimed that way on purpose. When you're going down the road at 60mph and hit the washers, the wind pushes the stream onto the windshield.
I wouldn't have bothered saying anything to the guy. I save my rants for stupid people who try to kill me with their car.

I probably would have pulled the towel out from under the windshield, (it stops a rattle) and washed my bike for the second time since I've had it.

Good way to remind you not to climb up on someone's bumper at a stop light. Wait until the next one puts it in reverse and tries to back over you or rolls back on the clutch and hits you.
Also, nowhere to go if some cager comes running up from behind to kill you. Give the cagers some space..you know they won't always do the same for you.

I'm with m109r. I stop so far back at an intersection that the cage operator would need a pressure washer to wet me. The reason is that I like some space cause I don't relish become the meat in some metallic sandwich and you can be sure that the car that pulls up behind you ain't gonna leave you any space. If it happened going down the road I probably would just laugh and back off.
Betcha the moron with the car adjusts his own headlights too. You know the type I'm talking about, one headlight aimed at the top of the trees and the other off into the field somewhere.

and if he has more then two the others are adjusted right in your eyes.
