The "Really ?!?!?!?!" Thread

Well, it`s esy and convenient to have a designated, all-purpose Whipping Boy and this time around Trump`s the one for [everybody who`s doing that]. Remember when everything was [INSERT name of different politician]`s fault? ;)
 
Really!!! I just did a deep cleaning and coating. This is my daily driver. I do a little over 70miles round trip. Heavy rain was in the forecast this past Monday.

So, Saturday I decided it was time to redo the coating on the windshield.

I first cleaned with 3D 50 to 1 glass cleaner. Dried it. Then light scrub with 0000 steel wool and glass cleaner as my lube. Dried it. Cleaned again with said glass cleaner. Polished with Ceriglass. Washed again with glass cleaner. Dried and a final wipe down with Eraser.

Applied Carpro flyby30. Helped with the cure by using a heat gun. Car sat in my garage until Monday morning.

Monday rain what rain.
Tuesday driving home and pop. Small star crack. I`ll grab a resin repair kit and fix tomorrow while car sots in the sun at work.

Nope.

Wednesday morning it spread like wild fire. Disgusted

Ouch! Sorry man.

Whenever I get a crack/ chip like that I cover it with scotch tape ASAP to prevent any more air getting in - that usual helps buy time until I can get it fixed. A lesson I learned the hard way...

Thank you for the tip. I thought about super glue but didn`t want to deal with the clean-up/removal. "A lesson learned" indeed. Deductible is only $200. So it could be worse.

I took a hit about 2months ago. Sounded like a gun went off. Scared the crap out of me. It took out a good size chip but it never spread into a crack. I thought this glass is almost bullet proof. This last incident, it sounded like the tiniest of pebbles. The big hit was right in the middle. This last one was about an half inch from the side. Which I`m sure had a lot to do with the spreading crack. Which is still spreading by the way.

About a year and a half ago I heard the same gunshot on the interstate. Put a nice little chip in the windshield. The insurance company sent a glass repairman about two days later and you couldn`t tell it had been fixed unless you knew where it was. Didn`t cost me anything. I hope your repair is as painless.
 
Well, we could always do away with those nasty ol` Pharmaceutical Giants and go back to the good old days ;)

EDIT: OK, I`ll admit it, I don`t know whether that cartoon is sarcasm/tongue-in-cheek or OTOH supposedly serious. I don`t keep up with stuff like Garrison`s beliefs and I gather there are some [individuals] who really believe stuff like that.
 
Autism a problem in search for a cause to blame.

This reminds me of the movie Sleeper where all the bad stuff (cigarettes, etc) was actually better for you. It is all playing with numbers.

My god man rent the stupid home depot pick up truck. Reminds me of my idiot brother who this year sold his boat and his pick up truck to get a new house and a new ford explorer because he doesn`t need a pick up truck. then 2 weeks later asks if he can borough my boat and my pick up, i said your welcome to borrow the boat if I am not using it but you can pound sand on borrowing my pick up, I bought a pick up because I need a pick up you should done the same.
