People do that?
flushy
Same with opening my umbrella.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
If they're squealing like a pig, they're too fast.
KillerCaitie
I have never heard of anyone doing this to be honest.
lordofllama
More give a shit about windshield wiper speeds than I thought could.
doombuddy
Huh. I guess I can't un-see this.
Buckbeak1486
My wiper speed auto adjusts to how fast I'm going.
narcissisticarsonist
I don't turn them on until is pouring buckets
theDooble
I crank mine up. "No, this shit IS serious."
RobPR
I judge other people of they are on high and it's sprinkling I always think they are overreacting.
mikeatike
My newest car has a delay mode way slower than any other I have had. It is amazing, especially with rainx.
Okiegirlwhit
I definitely do this. And I judge others by how much rain and how fast their wipers are going.
Mycologics
I don't care. If it rains I'm letting those bad boys go free and crazy.
Guinevere89
Was just thinking about this very real problem this morning!! Glad I'm not alone!!
jippsee
I didn't realize I did this. Just yelped.
Mavrick707
Great... I never thought of this until now. Now I will be. Thanks internet, making me worry bout shit....
noprobllama
I used to feel this way but then I realized that I sing and dance in my car for everyone to see. That doesn't embarrass me so w/e wipers!
NinjaSpork
I don't happen to do that but I completely understand
JohnnyDucketts
Damn, I thought I was the only one. Now I don't feel so alone.
thesurlymermaid
I did this today. Looked around to see if mine were going too fast. This post made me feel better about being a weirdo.

Liquidus90
I thought I was the only one! Glad to know I'm not as neurotic as I thought.
Probablyaniceguy
If my wipers are on in Ireland, you know its bad.
Armadilloihardlyknowher
I'm the person with them on full blast looking for people like you to mimic me.
bagxofxbones
I was the first to pull over on the highway during a downpour. Felt like a baby but 4 other cars followed suit :)
CKOD
MRW "Light drizzle and wipers on high?"
IFkWthmysckson
... I like you..
Armadilloihardlyknowher
Me too!!! I'm great
ThatGuyWhoJustCommentsAndGetsPointsFromIt
God bless you.
BANANAFLAKE
I judge people who have their wipers on too fast.
Trecares
IAmTooHighForThis
Can confirm
replicantx
Letterkenny?
BeerTaxer
Your username, i am that
ICouldGoForSomePie
nah with me its either "are they working?" or "do these things go faster?". btw i live in FL so either light shower or torrential downpour
bootydestroyer
That ends in 1 foot
kytrix
Or bugs. I remember needing windshield wipers in FL with a clear sunshine because bugs. Eww.
THEThadJarvis
Just use Rain-X. Barely have to use the wipers anymore.
Kinganto
This shit here lol. If you gotta use wipers with rainx already on your window you shouldn't be driving during a hurricane
drewcrosby
I love how Rain-X beads the water, but man it destroys wiper blades and the rubber around the windshield.
Tythagoras
When I drive on the freeway in the rain, I sometimes try to spot my rain-x brothers. There's too few of us.
itsCHIExD
But you only get that warpspeed effect ~25mph+ of driving.
THEThadJarvis
I like that effect but even when you're not going fast since it beads the water slides down.
itsCHIExD
Sounds like we need to go 60 EVERYWHERE.
mushycow
I don't like to turn my headlights on if there's a car coming in the opposite direction
probablymeanttobeworking
I'm like that! Don't want them thinking im@flashing them. Same as when a car is too close in front lol
SpecimenSpiff
Haha, that's my reason as well.
mushycow
LMAO nice! My reasoning is a little different, I don't want them to think their choice to use headlights somehow influenced me.
SuperBobKing
Where I live having headlights on during rain is required by law, so that isn't an issue.
Steph0190
Just wait until you have a car with "auto sensing" wipers. They go batshit crazy during a drizzle.
HumbIebrag

Mine go mad if my window is slightly steamy. Which is awkward if I've just boiled the kettle.
mstomm
Damn British and their tea.
LaBix
Tea is the most important meal of the day. Also the most important drink, it fixes everything.
SamArt53
Damn! I was hoping that those would be 'the cure' for windshield wiper dramatics. Damn. Seriously. Damn.
PrincessCimorene
Mine are actually awesome and don't do this at all, so there's hope yet!
SamArt53
Thank you.. it was looking bleak. One of my cars, a 1974 VW (purchased new by me) has two speeds (slow and slower) with no variable speed.
KlingonBlingon
Turn the sensitivity down :) It should have a "+" to "-" for reaction.
Steph0190
Oh I have. They still sputter erratically.
pizzakitten
Where might this mystical button be located?
DatSRTdoe
No such button on a mini
classactobv
What about a large?
Silverdogz
Little scroll wheel on the wiperstock
DatSRTdoe
No that changes the set speed, has no control over the rain sensor speed unfortunately
Silverdogz
Weird, it does on my BMW. Must be different coding between the two.
drjns
Either that or they don't react until you can't see anything. Mine does both at a random.
Steph0190
Exactly! Very irritating.
shankelstoff
Same here. However, it feels like it learns how fast it should go after a while. Like "Oh, alright! Now I've got it!"
Mechwarrior719
Mercedes-Benz?
drjns
BMW.. But I Think most of them have this issue.
Mechwarrior719
Not Cadillacs. But that's because it never worked in the first place
TheNoblePizzaDragonWhoLivesInYourFridge
Don't they depend on speed?
drjns
I believe mine depends on both.. but sometimes the reaction times are very slow
TheNoblePizzaDragonWhoLivesInYourFridge
I just micro-manage mine lol, it's a 1998 so fancy stuff like that is kind of limited :(
Steph0190
Mine are speed and rain sensing. Depending on how hard it's raining they change speed
TheNoblePizzaDragonWhoLivesInYourFridge
Huh, I wonder how it works, IR sensing or some sort of conductive thing on the windsheild?
drjns
Usually its some kind of tension/conductive measuring at the top of your Windshield. The black field in the middle.
