The Festive "Ice Scraper" Windscreen Disaster

A car owner posted an embarrassing photo on a vehicle modification forum after trying to clean sticky tree sap off their windscreen in the June heat. Lacking the right tools, they grabbed a rigid plastic "Merry Christmas" ice scraper from the glove box. The intense heat had softened the plastic edge, causing it to melt slightly upon contact with the glass and leave a permanent, blurry smear of green festive pine-tree residue right across the driver’s line of sight.
