Cracking up

One of the UK’s leading automotive glazing services has come with a “cracking” list of reasons offered by its customers for damage to their vehicle’s glass. Top of the pile was the lady who smeared barrier cream on her windscreen, following her son’s tongue-in-cheek advice that the cream would help the faulty car park barrier at her place of work go up more easily. Unsurprisingly it didn’t.

Another lady reported that her windscreen wipers had jammed. On inspection it was found that a pair of knickers, which she had used to clear her windscreen that morning, were tangled in the wipers. Making up the top three was the gentleman that admitted that while driving he sneezed with such force that a mint he was sucking shot out of his mouth and cracked his windscreen.

Just outside the medal places a man reported that the passenger window on his new car had been broken, only for the technician to point out that he had in fact put his electric window down by mistake. Believe it or not, the heels of stiletto shoes account for a considerable number of damaged windscreens –particularly to the inside of the vehicle!
