Wiper blades

WHY? Why do they have to be the BIGGEST pain in the ass?
Seriously...nothing give me any more rage than wiper blade installation.

Today it snowed ( ) so I decided to get new blades, since mine were already falling to shreds (you know how they start to streak right where you need to see......everytime).

It took me 15minutes to drive 2miles because for some reason, everyone in the damn state forgets how to drive when it snows and there were accidents EVERYWHERE. Im not talking about a lot of snow here guys...Its less than 1/2" accumulation.

Then, at the checkout, it takes 10minutes because the cashier and the people in front of me are gabbin it up, talking about christmas (another thing that pisses me off - its thanksgiving tomorrow, ok...talk about that).

After another 20minutes to get back home I get to struggle, outside, in the snow/sleet/rain/wind/bs with the wipers. Yes, I know they have a neat little tab...well that never works for me (especially when theyre coated in ice). Finally it comes loose and slides off with the force of a neutron bomb, jamming into my finger (which by this time is 1/2 frozen). 1 down...another to go.

...Im just bitching...

haha the accord takes a minute to change and I have a discountautoparts 5 minutes from me. but the worse blade story takes place during a huge storm I'm driving to my girlfriends house (at the time) and the blade on the driver side falls completely apart..and I dont just mean the the rubber part, i mean the rubber and the metal stuff. I had to stop and borrow ducttape from a quicki stop to mend it back together for that night haha
so I feel your pain..sorta

haha... that reminds me of one time i was driving on the highway and i had a leaf/stick stick under the blade and it started to rain so i did a little 80mph reach to try and lift the blade to free it and it poped up completely and i had to drive with the left wiper sticking strait up for 15-20 mins
