A man driving his usual route pulls up behind a slow driver. This is a road that provides opportunities to pass the driver. So, as not to tailgate, he proceeded with trying to pass this slow driver. However, when he got closer the slow driver started to go faster. Satisfied with the speed, he pulled back and let the formerly-slow driver go first. However, once he went back to behind this driver, the started going slow again, even slower, in fact! So, he attempts to pass him again. Shockingly, the driver pulls the same move. Now tensions  are building and road rage is creeping in closer from the road horizon. However, the driver noticed that the slow drive had his window fully open with his arm hanging out and everything. He could have used this knowledge to try and speak to this guy, but he decided he needed to learn a pettier lesson…

  • "The pettiest of petty, but dang it made me laugh (and still does)"

  • So, he put his windshield wipers and the cleaning fluid to work. He pulled up next to the guy, waited for them to reach the same speed again, got as close as he could to his car, and hit the wiper fluid. The slow driver got soaked and impulsively lifted his foot from the gas. The guy was able to get ahead, make his exit, and laugh his entire rest of the way to his destination.

  • It was many years ago, but I still laugh when I recall that day. I was on a highway traveling northbound.

  • The route is divided, two lanes either direction. I eventually needed to exit right to get eastbound onto the Interstate.
    via Percy-id
  • A couple or three miles before my exit I found myself behind a real dominguero. This guy was going about 10 under the speed limit.
    via Percy-id
  • The typical flow of traffic in this area is 5 to 10 over. So I thought I'd get over into the passing lane and get around him quick before I had to exit.

  • I get in the left lane and he speeds up. So I speed up a little more. And he guns it, so I thought, hey he realized he's going way too slow.

  • I'm not trying to get a speesing ticket out here. So I got back in the right lane and dropped in behind him, now doing about 5 over with several car lengths between us.

  • But as soon as I got settled back in that lane, he starts slowing down again, and now we're going even slower. Like, 11 or 12 under.
    via Percy-id
  • So I ease back into the left lane and the SOB guns it again, now doing at least 15 over and I can't pass without a criminal level of speeding.

  • So I let off the gas and let him get ahead. And that's when I noticed: This has his driver's window ALL THE WAY DOWN.

  • And I knew right then what I was going to do. I eased back in behind him. Predictably, he goes back to turtle speed.

  • Third time, I get into the left lane and start to pass. He speeds up. And when he lines up so that I am right up next to him,

  • I veered to my right, hugging the striped line as close to him as I can legally be, and I pulled the lever to activate my windshield washer.
    via Percy-id
  • I held it with mischievous joy, spraying and spraying and spraying. Just as I hoped, it went straight into his open window and soaked him.
    via Percy-id
  • I got him good. Not just the arm he had propped up on the door. I got him all over the side of his stupid face.
    via Percy-id
  • He let off the gas, shook his head like a wet dog (pretty sure I got it in his ear) and wiped his face with his hand.
    via Percy-id
  • Laughing maniacally, I gunned it, got in front of him, and exited onto the Interstate about a quarter mile later.
    via Percy-id
  • I laughed and laughed for miles. I laughed until I cried and my cheeks and ribs hurt. I still laugh about it. Hopefully you will, too.
