I had been driving with a big bird poop on my car window for days. It bothered me and yet I continued to try to ignore it. Then yesterday I had to ask our tech to check on my misbehaved car alarm at work, and I just pictured him walking towards my car and thinking to himself, "What a huge drop of poopy nastiness!? Gross!"
It's true. I had not washed my car in over a month, and after this last week of crazy weather, my car definitely wasn't looking its best. With the added bonus blessing from the neighborhood birds, it was as awful looking as it could get. I kept thinking about it on the way to work this morning, and I honestly felt people driving around me were looking at it too, "Eww! Look at that big scary pile of dry poop!"
Fine! I give up! I drove past this car wash that I had not been to before and pulled into their lot. I knew I was going to be late for work, but I just couldn't stand thinking about how nasty my car looked like another minute more. The car wash was running a Wednesday Special: $12.99 - This was by far the most expensive "special pricing" I had seen. Oh well I already came here. Then I was surprised again that they also charged sales tax on top of that. Oh well again. In the end, they did a pretty good job. I was satisfied. Knowing my car was sparkling clean and poop-less actually brought me a sense of peace, clarity, and focus.... for a day or two anyway.
