My missus was throwing a paddy this morning. Her car was iced up and her poor little fingers were burning cold.
So Sir Galahad had to come to the rescue. ..
Have you started your car to warm it up....NO....right go and start it up and leave it running.....get the windscreen anti freeze wash out of my van and poor it over the windscreen and side windows.....leave it a while and start scraping.
In the meantime I dragged myself out of bed after having an empty can of de icer and scraper thrown at me. I got dressed and by the time I got out there the engine had warmed up and things had started to soften....including her temper. I did some interior work to the glass, scraping, de-misting and drying with kitchen towel then handed the car over to her ready to go.
Not a thankyou, you are a real man, you fix everything for me...nothing.
With three, sometimes four women in the house, I have encountered similar situations; fed up with this I bought a large container of rubbing alcohol (surgical spirit - a quart) off amazon and used three used mist spray bottles, and made up a solution of one cup water and two tablespoons liquid dishwashing soap, give it a good mix and pour into mist-ers - handed it to them and said 'spray this - and use as much as you like' - it worked like magic and costs the equivalent of about 10-20p per bottle of, instead of £1.50 or more from the garage.
They don't even have to scrape.
Sorted.
p.s. your wife was probably thinking - "if he loved me, he would have done it already and not watch me struggle".... the bastard!
