What's with people and their windshield wipers?

What's up with people driving that leave their windshield wipers running full blast when it's been raining, but its no longer really raining anymore?
Don't they notice these big long black things going back and forth, over and over again, right in front of their faces?
What's the deal with that situation?..... it's right in your face. What else are they completely oblivious about is what I'm wondering?
Notice much?
I may lose sleep over it....I'm running low on weed.

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck behind someone who has their parking brake on, and these days, you can tell.
Me, my eyes go to the rear view mirror (no pun intended) to watch for cops and motorcycles all the time. If I see a motorcycle approaching on my left, I drift to the shoulder to let the guy (or gal) take advantage of that open space. It's common courtesy.
Too many drivers are just getting in their cars and auto-cruising. Pisses me off to no end.
It's a machine, people. It can take you places and it can take someone out.
Stay aware.

I so HATE it when someone takes advantage of the shoulder during an upcoming merge! I deliberately lean my car to the right too! For me, it's no different than someone cutting in line at the grocery store, no?
It's childish and stupid to try and cut ahead that way unless you're a cop and it's an emergency (which is a good reason to leave the shoulder clear).
Another beef of mine is tail-gaiting in general. Okay, so you're gonna climb up my ass while I'm stuck behind someone else....that will get you real far.
...Alf, you need those thingies. They come in handy when the rain comes.
Yes. Things are a little tight right now so I'm saving. I was going try to pick up a pair when I bought a new windshield.
I get that merge thing all the time, and in the same place. People desperately break out into a lane that merges 50 feet ahead anyway into solid traffic only to waste gas, cut people off, and save a whole 5 seconds.
Saw it again tonight actually, the guy almost got nailed by an oncoming car in the lane he was cutting into....buddy just wailed on the horn and brakes, and barely missed him...almost saved 5 sacred seconds to risk a messy accident. Nice.
I may never understand the wiper thing...

Well, that makes a lot of sense. Why have wipers for a non-existant windshield?
May I ask....is your car make of a cardboard box on top of tricycle wheels? If so, I hope you at least have an Obama sticker on your, um, bumper.
No, it's an old Camry. And you bet I have an Obama sticker on the bumper. It's the only thing holding it on.
...I think I'm in love with you.
Similar deal with people and their umbrellas up even after the rain has stopped. Or with people walking through tunnels with their umbrellas up.
I also love it when people get onto trains and place their umbrellas upside down on the floor just inside the train door, still fully open, and leave them there so that we can trip over them.
I think I know the answer to that.
It's called "Preoccupation". So many people are preoccupied while traveling these days that I sometimes wish they would just stop traveling and sit at home on their cell phones, with their umbrellas, with their windshield wipers on.....
Too many people don't think.
Haha !! That's my Father-In-Law
He also (which is a huge pet peeve of mine) doesn't put his seat belt on and you hear the constant fucking "DING DING" he just drives like nothing is happening !!!!

although it's fun to see stupidity even when one isn't behind the wheel. yesterday on the way home, the bus was turning right and this stupid bitch runs out in FRONT of the bus. bus honks, then continues on....and then we all hear this moron scream. it was really windy and apparently she lost her damn hat and the back tire of the bus ran it over.
it was awesome
what drives me zooy is when it's barely raining....i mean the minute the rain hits the windshield it goes away....but there's helen in the eldorado with the wipers on FULL BLAST!!! :rolleyes:
The other day I was at a red light and up ahead is of course a 2 lane into one. So the light turns green and we all go. Last time I checked your supposed to alternate. So one car goes ahead of me and of course I let them, then I see the next car on my left trying to get ahead of me, so it pissed me off and I sped up. He still wouldn't let me through and it to where a point where I was cornered (there are these stupid orange cones by the cross walks to prevent cars from driving by it, so i was stuck behind it with this guy that wouldn't let me through) Anyway so I honk at him and give him the finger and just forced myself to get ahead of him (works every time). Then he gets all pissed that god forbid I didn't let him get ahead of me, so he starts tailgating and high beaming me. So I drop my speed from 40 to 25-30 the entire road to piss him off. Then I finally brake checked him and sped up. THEN we get to a red light and he purposely stops alongside me even though he could've pulled up more. I just waved at him telling him to move ahead and gave him a look.
Yes, I have road rage.

I have thought it's probably like the old guy who leaves his turn signal on for too long or the old woman who has the wrong turn signal on or who turns left from a right lane. It's evidence of blurry thoughts or something...
He has OCD. That or his right blinker doesn't sound and he's an old fart and doesnt notice it.

it rains so much that i have burned up the "high" setting on the windshield wiper switch, it no longer works on high....
edit..i stop at green lights too

definitely no on the OCD, and it does sound, I can hear it from the passenger seat. And he's not really old, I'd say mid to late 40s
Haha...I been in a few cars where people do that. I'm all like...dude...wtf is that noise?....fix the dinging thing my brain is melting...

Dude, it's the RED lights you're supposed to stop for, eh.
but maybe my head is up my ass some of the time and i am being a careful slow old man while driving, yes/no?

When I'm high I stop at stop signs........thinking they are giant red lights.
One time I stopped at one for over 3 minutes. There were no cars around or anything. Then I finally realized it was only a stop sign and continued driving.

Yes
Well I was with you on the irritation about people zooming ahead in the side lane for an upcoming merge, and then sitting there all forlorn with their signal on like 'please let me in', when they just basically were trying to jump the line, which slows everyone else down who is waiting their turn - pisses me off no end; but I'm afraid I'd draw the line at driving high!
