Good Aim - 03-23-2009, 08:28 PM

I am kicking myself for not getting a picture before I cleaned it. It was a crappy day and I was fighting a light rain.

One of my customers had me come and take care of a small problem with her convertible Jag. My eyes got wide quick when i noticed that the inside of her car was loaded with pollen and the little oak tree fuzzy droppings. She parked under an oak tree with the top down for a while. As if that wasn't bad enough she warned me that a bird had left a little present in the cup holder.

Sure enough, there was a big bird crap dead center in the cup holder. I was appreciative that the bird at least had the courtesy to keep it contained in an easy to clean spot.

I didn't see your post about bird poop until after I posted mine.

Must have been a coordinated attack.

There are plenty of things worse than bird crap that I have cleaned out of interiors. I better stop talking about it.... just thinking about them gives me nightmares!

No extra charge for bird poop.

Wow...

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.
