So yesterday afternoon I get off the train in Laurel and start walking to my car. Its not uncommon for people trying to sell their product to put brochures or printed cards on everybody's windshield. Yesterday afternoon was subject to some heavy storms that went through the area and then the sun came out by the time the train was unloading. There was a 4"X6" advertising card on my windshield under the wiper. The card had a coating on the printed side, but not the back. The rain and the sun physically "glued" these cards to everybody's windshield. I ripped mine off and waited until I got home to scrape most of it off with a razor blade. As I was pulling out of the parking lot I could see a numerous people picking at their windshields with disgust.
The part I pulled off left the printing intact along with the companie's phone number. I bet they "got the business" yesterday!
Welcome to "Commute Madness" - my name is Dave and I take the MARC commuter train into and out of Washington DC every day. I see so much madness out there that I need to start recording it. Some days I will report what I see, on other days I look back in the past at some of the observations I've made. Please Enjoy. :-)
