His purpose is not to clean your windshields. He wants you intimidate you so you pay him $$$ to stay <b>away</b> from your car. The scam works best when 5-8 of these guys surround your car at a red light. The owner typically will often toss a few bucks out of the window, considering that this is a small cost compared to what these window-washers might do. The washers usually hold washrags in their hands which look like they helped clean up the great Bronx sewer explosion of 1967. Reminds me of a time I parked my rental car in San Jose to go to a hot nightspot with my girlfriend. Some nasty looking dude said to me, "for $2 I'll watch your car so nottin happens to it". I said no, walked a block to my destination, then, after realizing that he was both the watcher and the scratcher all rolled into one fleabag, I reversed and paid the man $2. Back to the window-washers, otherwise known as "squeegee guys". The reason former mayor Guiliani was so popular was not just for 9/11 but because he actually got the police to start arresting the squeegee guys. New York city was very grateful. 'nuff said, UC heh, heh, heh
