    A waste of your time, but...

    In amongst a bunch of goofy sayings that were just e-mailed to me, this one jumped out and got me right in the eye.

    Birds of a feather flock together...... and aim for your car.

    So true.:p

    It`s funny that you mention it, but that is hardly a problem I have to complain. I don`t remember the last time a bird bombed my car, now about pollen... It`s another story.

    Birds? I hate birds. Here`s a story...

    I detailed my wife`s 02 Corolla last week. Unfortuantely, the car has to be parked at the front curb. There is a tree a few houses down that houses probably 10,000,000 birds, so I always tell her "DO NOT PARK THERE PLEASE". She usually doesn`t park there, but just wait until her husband details her car... It got bombed. It looked like Baghdad. I`m not exagerating - over 100 drops at least.

    I tell her SHE has to wash it off, so she goes out and hoses the car down while I am gone and calls me to tell me that whatever I did made it very easy to clean, it all just hosed off. Yes Polymer does seal paint pretty well. BUT she doesn`t dry it, so it was all spotted to hell. I had to fix it myself - I mean I am a detailer, my cars do have to look good.

    Moral of the story - what`s worse? Birds or wives???

    Wives by far, they make you clean the car, then they mess it up, and then they expect you to fix it. Not to mention that they complain about you doing detailing in the first place, unless of course it is their car, but even then, it had better be finished when they want it finished, and if they want to do something, you have to stop detailing and do what they want.

    Husband: "But...you cant just leave unbuffed compound!"
    Wife: "Well if thats whats more important to you..."
    Husband: "No..wait!"

    Evil stupid manipulative...but ya gotta love em.

    All this from a 16 year old, I seriously need a life.

    Yeah its kinda strange, considering I have never had a girlfriend or anything along those lines.

    Nevertheless, you can always watch people. Sometimes its quite humourous.
