A wha? I thought you people at least had the gift of fire. Don’t cry, you’ll join the century eventually. The Amish are looking for a few good men, though…
Yeah I’ve had to do something similar. Lost a wiper in a snowstorm but I still needed to get home so I had to rig up something with a wad of kleenexes and hair bands just to be able to get home with one wiper working and the other not scratching the hell out of my windshield.
I actually had to do something similar also, except mine was just a shop rag. My windshield wiper wasn’t broken, it just wasn’t touching the windshield. It worked better than a real windshield wiper, well the 2 inches that actually wiped.
I actually had to do the same thing also, except instead of a shop rag I used toilet paper, and instead of a car windshield it was my a55hole. It worked really well!
Used the right side of the sponge, because you don’t want to scratch the windshield. On the other hand, he should rotate the sponge 90 degrees, to cover a larger area.
It’s a new product line they’re trying out, the Spibel. For those hardcore Christians who want to learn while they bathe.
“Cleanse your mind and body simultaneously!”
I’d only call this a fail if the sponge was intended to replace a windshield wiper. If it’s just there as a protective pad to keep the bare metal arm from damaging the windshield, I’d have to class this as a win, not a fail.
Is it me, or is that sponge not even attached to a real wiper? It looks like it’s attached to a wire about the thickness of a coat hanger… or maybe a loose car antenna!
As a mechanic, I’ve seen a lot of things. This I have never seen. I would definitely have to put this one down as a temp replacement win. Although, it’s figgin hilarious!
See, not only does it prevent scratches on the windshield, it can be used to scrub the bugs off the window when you get to your destination. Wiper substitute WIN!
By how it’s fixed onto the arm, sponge cannot act as a wiper blade. From looking at the photo, it would rotate out of position and eventually fall out after a few cycles. Good chance it’s a failed attempt.
it’d work better the other way around, the sponge side grips better than the scrubby side, this way if you had to turn on the wipers before you got them fixed, it would just slip off there, you’d lose the scrubby, and scratch your window. other way, the arm would grip the sponge, and allow the scrubby to slide on the window. it’s not abrasive enough to scratch the window if only used for a short bit. this is fail indeed. nice try, but so no cigar.
Wow. This is a major FAIL!
But it also stops the bar from the missin wiper from scratching the screen, so maybe temp replacement win
Yeah, I’d call this a Temp MacGuyver Win.
Needs duct tape.
Needs more cowbell.
MY ROFLCOWBELL GOES DOINK DOINK DOINK DOINK DOINK DOINK
Is it broken? Or just thwapping the heads of your enemies?
id do this to my teachers car
I would think that this would be a windshield wiper WIN…
You SHOULD do this to your teacher’s car, as she clearly hasn’t succeeded in teaching you basic punctuation.
Teacher cast out Cyn.
His id is unconscious.
And apparently he’s not at all possessive.
He knows not what he does.
Cyn’s id sin is not a sign that Cyn is possessive of ♂.
He’s beyond the pleasure principle, there’s no posession there.
Or any possession, apparently. Ahem.
I knew that you would own up in the end.
Your personality has clearly been developed by your childhood experiences without a microwave. Do you want to talk about it?
We couldn’t afford a microwave. We had to make do with a second hand tsunami. *sobs, grabs Kleenex*
A wha? I thought you people at least had the gift of fire. Don’t cry, you’ll join the century eventually. The Amish are looking for a few good men, though…
There is a section of my library that I refer to as my to hell with civilization books.
The Dharma Initiative is also looking for a few good men.
you see fail. i see innovation.
yh but sum people dont want 2 use punctuation outsid skool
MAI ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI

win
agreed. duct tape fixes all!
Yeah I’ve had to do something similar. Lost a wiper in a snowstorm but I still needed to get home so I had to rig up something with a wad of kleenexes and hair bands just to be able to get home with one wiper working and the other not scratching the hell out of my windshield.

Now we know what happened to the missing wiper blade. “It was a million-to-one shot, doc!”
Great, now I want to go watch “The Shining”. Netflix, don’t fail me now.
Agreed. MacGyver WIN!!
‘Screen?’ Windshield/Television Confusion Fail
YEah win in my book.
Failbolg really has lost it.
Failbolg never had it. Who’s Failbolg?
I believe he was that fellow who was seen running after a map.
Probably the same guy that was climbing on a ladder.
This isn’t a fail – its someone trying to prevent a missing/broken wiper from causing windshield scratches until it gets replaced. Smart IMO.
I say it depends on how long the sponge was left there. If the person had plenty of opportunity to replace the wiper blade and didn’t, it’s fail.
How do you know how much time was available to the owner. Assumption fail.
Sorry. I missed the “If”. Pain in the butt fail.
What can you do? You have dial-up. It’s not your fault.
You’re not going to let that go, are you?
Call me on your tin phone and we can make up, honey.
More like U83R 1337 fail zor
should be on
There I Fixed It
Clean windshield WIN?
I have my doubts as to whether this would actually function. Anyone up for some experimentation?
*whips out a package of sponges*
*whips hips*
*whips out… nevermind*
*whips it*
*whips it good*
But was the windshield really sponge-worthy?
The wiper goes fap, fap, fap.
And gets a milkshake.
I am always willing to experiment on your windshields!
Yeah, then I feel guilty for not giving you a dollar.
Oh give him the freakin’ dollar already yet. It is in the name of science.
That windshield is so clean you can eat off it.
You first.
That’s very considerate of you.
No “first” yet?
Frißt!
Frisst? Hmm
Spongebob?!??! Noooooooo!!
HI KEVIN!!!!!!!111
Haha, nice!
Whoa whoa WHOA, there, sister.
We can tell that you are the special K.
We don’t even need K 9 noses to tell us that.
Just don’t you forget it. This imposter’s got NOTHIN’.
One clean stripe on your windshield WIN.
Only a fail because he used the wrong side of the sponge
Used the right side of the sponge, because you don’t want to scratch the windshield. On the other hand, he should rotate the sponge 90 degrees, to cover a larger area.
passenger doesn’t need to see anyway
But the driver might want to see out that side, just a bit.
nothing but bicycles and pedestrians on that side, why bother?
/sarcasm
Well, he doesn’t want to scratch the car, now does he?
You’re right. Bicyclists can screw up a wax job in an instant. It’s much better to just shove them off the road.
Damn that’s harsh.
Be fair. A good wax job takes a lot of time and effort. Blood and bicycles are very hard on a finish.
Improvisation win.
Not a complete fail, as it’s yellow-side down.
Redneck Engineering Win.
Along with the beer-box mailbox.
and the door-lock.
LMAO! At first glance I actually thought it was a small Bible that someone tucked under there! FAIL @ me!
Since when do bibles look anything like sponges?
It’s a new product line they’re trying out, the Spibel. For those hardcore Christians who want to learn while they bathe.
“Cleanse your mind and body simultaneously!”
And you KNOW that would sell.
Scarily… yes. It really would, lol.
Bibles have 2 functions. Propping up unsturdy tables, and brainwashing masses. Why not add sponging?
Fate against religion.
I thought Catholics didnt use the sponge or ANY sort of birth control….
That’s what the eunuchs in the Vatican would like to believe.
Juses lol’d.
Cleanliness is next to godliness.
I have no idea! I guess because I thought the green was the covers and the yellow was the pages! o.O
I’d only call this a fail if the sponge was intended to replace a windshield wiper. If it’s just there as a protective pad to keep the bare metal arm from damaging the windshield, I’d have to class this as a win, not a fail.
You’re getting warmer, Mr. Berg.
This isn’t a FAIL. It is an improvisation WIN.
That’s two non-FAIL submissions in a row. Failblog FAIL.
Voting page participation FAIL. Don’t like the fails? Go to the vote page to vote for better ones.
how is fasting fail not a fail, sam?
Because the flyer was advertising an educational lunch rather than a special Ramadan ham topped pizza offer.
p.s.
Nesting fail
The pizza lunch discussion is down the hall and to the right.
Are there refreshments?
There will be cake and counselling
What happened to the sex and candy they promised?
It was a lie.
But, but, I thought it was the cake that was a lie? I am so confused.
That’s the way “they” want you.
One ended up being eating and the other ended up being eaten and then there was the ending up.
Ending up?
marcy playground lyrics win.
Done yesterday fail.
Who wants to see my penis?
women with low self esteem everywhere
naw, not even us.
That depends. If you lay it on the keyboard, does it stretch from A to Z?
It stretches from A to A. Barely.
Why would you want to put your penis on a keyboard? What does that achieve?
I hope you’re not typing with it, Toby. That would be wrong and disturbing.
“Why would you want to put your penis on a keyboard?”
You’re either a FAIL Blog newbie or you have a short memory.
.
This should fix you up quite nicely, though.
Aww, I’m fairly new, but I just think it’s a really odd thing to do with your penis…
Not my place to say, really, I don’t have one.
(a penis, that is. I clearly have a keyboard.)
This might help…
http://failblog.org/2008/09/22/manhood-fail/
Please, when your talking about genitalia, don’t use the word “fix”.
My dog cried when you said that.
My dog just stared at me after he was pruned.
My dog is a bonsai boxer, and four inches long. Beat that.
I could…but that would be animal cruelty!
Is that four inches his body length or … uh … um … never mind.
Nah, he’s 60 pounds. But I’m trying to prune him down to a chihuahua.
*looks*
nope, nothing there.
*does brain scan*
nope, nothing there.
We saw enough in the ‘another toy fail’ yesterday, so, no thanx!
WIN!
Sad day for Failblog
*masturbates, then wipes*
front to back or back to front?
Failblog fails at fail
this is epic failure!
MY ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI
MY ROFLKNIEV GOES SLIECSLIECSLIECSLIEC
My Roskolnikov goes kill kill kill kill kill.
My vibrator goes bzzz bzzz bzzz.
(I really shouldn’t store it in the First Aid box.)
Yeah probably not the best idea. You could always just store it between your car and your windshield wiper like this guy.
with soviet russian bees inside, who first aids u?
with soviet russian brides inside, bees first aids u…. WTF?
As opposed to just storing it in your box?
Beren!
What?!? Don’t you have a box under the bed for storing odds and ends in?
*pops some butter in his mouth*
.
.
*Butter stays unmelted*
EPIC WIN!!!!!
Bring back the burn of the week!
NO! I just got rid of it!
*SNERT*
bzzz bzzz bzzz
(I’ve never been called a vibrator before.)
Did her parents find you, too?
LOL(sorry, i know you don’t want my pity, but that was FUNNY)
I’ll take your pity LOL and raise you an ROFL, darlin”
In Soviet Russia, does the windsheild wipe YOU?
If it does I’m moving to Russia.
A little late – its not soviet anymore
Soon.
In future Soviet Russia, wiper blades YOU.
in Soviet Russia, windshield DOES wipe you, but it leaves streaks
totally win!
Making do with what you have- win.
That’s pretty funny,WAIT , THAT’S MY CAR!!!!!
Is it me, or is that sponge not even attached to a real wiper? It looks like it’s attached to a wire about the thickness of a coat hanger… or maybe a loose car antenna!
thats what a wiper looks like without the blade.
If you flip it upside-down it’s good for frosty days.
As a mechanic, I’ve seen a lot of things. This I have never seen. I would definitely have to put this one down as a temp replacement win. Although, it’s figgin hilarious!
See, not only does it prevent scratches on the windshield, it can be used to scrub the bugs off the window when you get to your destination. Wiper substitute WIN!
Kind of a redneck win, I’d say.
By how it’s fixed onto the arm, sponge cannot act as a wiper blade. From looking at the photo, it would rotate out of position and eventually fall out after a few cycles. Good chance it’s a failed attempt.
Hebedhep!
this is a definite WIN domination.
Ok, I’ll bite…what the hell is Hebedhep? It’s not on Wikipedia.
It’s what Snap, Crackle, and Pop say when they are submerged in milk.
I think they’ve got the bends, then…
I thought it was when they tried to say, “the bed head” when they have a cold.
But sir, there was a really stubborn bug splatter on that side of the windshield…
I can say this about quite a few fails here: Necessity is the mother of ingenuity.
WIN
That’s just ghetto
it’d work better the other way around, the sponge side grips better than the scrubby side, this way if you had to turn on the wipers before you got them fixed, it would just slip off there, you’d lose the scrubby, and scratch your window. other way, the arm would grip the sponge, and allow the scrubby to slide on the window. it’s not abrasive enough to scratch the window if only used for a short bit. this is fail indeed. nice try, but so no cigar.
i think it just looks silly
very creative.
this doesnt help a lot
