Yes, I am angry. a bird, or 3 birds pooped on my car today. Once on the hood, twice on the windsheild. My car is PERFECTLY spotless, spent hours cleaning it. I am an animal person, but i wanted to kill randon birds. I made matter worse by trying to get the poop off and i just smeared it around even further enraging me. Now... i was so angry i could kill anything that poops, not just a bird. Anyhow, I just needed to vent. I have had my car for 3 months and this is the first time those terrorist seagulls targeted my car and waged jihad on my windshield. Yes, I will have some whine with my cheese, go ahead, someone call the wahmbulance, i know i know. i wish i could set up some kind of homing BB device that took out potential threats to my vehcile. I guess with the spring just around the corner I should just embrace it. Maybe when i drive home and the sun is going down i could just position my head behind a poop glob, so the bird turd can act not only as a cosmetic feature, white polka dots if you will, but also a sun blocker.

At least I am starting to look at the positives to having the ass juice all over my car.

if i bought a white car then it wouldnt be a big deal, but if some sort of primate or a deer or a gigantic kitten drops one on my car, i might be less noticeable because black is closer to brown than white is.

Dude, you said it right, you're gonna get a "whiner" thrown at your head.
My parkingspots at home are right underneath 2 trees and i have birdshit on my car EVERY SINGLE day.
I just take a couple of tissues and a glass of warm water to my car every morning to wipe the crap off. I've gotten used to it.

Just pour a little bit of water on the crap, let it sit for a couple of seconds and wipe it off, then rinse the residual gunk off with the rest of the water.
Takes 15 seconds total and you can't see a thing.

I feel your pain, I get a lot of that in the garage at work, for some reason these creatures reside in it and every so often there is poop all over. It's Florida, it's tropical and it sucks!!! Especially when you drive on the roads out west with all those highway bugs splattered on the windshield, front bumper and hood...I get annoyed too, but tomorrow is another day...

so... i walked out of work yesterday again and it appeared as if they waged a massive campaign on my windheild, hood and roof. I shall call it "shock and eww".

than i realized.... i thought i was being smart by parking at the end of an aisle, AND in front of a light post, protecting my car from almost every angle from other drivers... i just wasnt protected from the birds SITTTING on the light pole.

so today i parked somewhere different, we shall see what happens
