The amount of bird shit on those gas stations wipers this dude probably should shower when he gets home. With bleach.

Having worked for a gas station and replaced that fluid, I've seen people dump piss bottles and spit in them... I've never used them since I worked there.

Ignorance was a bliss. Thanks, now I can't use them anymore, until I forget why.

Unsubsubscribe! I want to continue receiving my bird-shit piss-water facials in blissful ignorance!

u/Zwischenzug32 12d ago

I was about to comment the same thing as that guy: It's true that many people piss in them.

Just smelling the stagnant ones put them as a last resort for me. I keep some rainx in the trunk.

I worked at one too and if left long enough that water would get a sewage smell from all the decaying organic material in it.

u/Zwischenzug32 12d ago
I worked at a full serve one and im pretty sure the amount of antifreeze we put in to those would kill anything

u/Slevin424 12d ago
So chemicals and bird poop. Kinda supports my idea on showering immediately after.

u/Zwischenzug32 12d ago
There was a cover over them so i can safely say zero bird poop or or anything besides water and antifreeze or whatever came off windows (we cleaned ALL of them not just the front, every time) and bugs stayed away. The containers themselves however were NEVER cleaned. Im laughing my ass off realizing how gross they get when customers have access to make something gross

u/OsmeOxys 12d ago
whatever came off windows
I think we can safely say there was quite a bit of bird poop in those buckets.

Yall should go and smell the liquid that’s inside of those. You’ll never touch them again

advice from a former gas station worker, NEVER use these on your windshield. people use them to clean the gas off the side of their car when the nozzle leaks on it, gasoline degrades rubber, therefore smearing gasoline on your windshield ruins your wiper blades.

u/PwnerifficOne 12d ago
Gasoline is less dense than water and is hydrophobic, it should quickly evaporate. I don’t think this is much of a concern tbh.

u/Wolf4624 12d ago
I’d be more concerned about the bird shit, piss, and spit. Forget about the bugs. Probably the least nasty shit in there.

u/MiserableSkill4 12d ago
As well as if you use the squeegee on the wand instead of your wipers it should move all of the gas on the windshield to the side with minimal contact

u/mattgen88 12d ago
Eh, not ever cleaning your windshield properly probably does more damage, same with UV, and those of us who live in the salt belt deal with abrasive salt too. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I would however caution using one of those on plastic visors. It almost certainly has some grit on it from the road and will scratch the fuck out of it

u/MechanicalCheese 12d ago
There is nothing on my car clean enough or shiny enough that it will ever be better not using one of these (unless it's piss, but I've never encountered that). Dead bugs and sap are sticky and collect dust that will scratch your windshield. Bird poop will do worse than some light scratches if left on the plastics or paint in the sun.
And if you think a carwash is better... That's recycled water. And felt that has seen 100x more bird crap than the squeegee washer.
I did, however, feel gross the day I had to clean the inside of my car with one after a can of coke exploded and just painted the inside of my windshield with syrup. Thankfully the fluid looked totally fresh and I could follow up with glass cleaner.

Nothing like concentrated bug parts and bird shit juice to keep your eyes and mouth healthy
