# Windshield Wiper Disaster Caused by Dog Bones

During the winter months, we spend many mornings freeing [windshield wipers](<https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/27417/best-windshield-wipers>) from the chilly grip of ice and snow.

So when Reddit user [LochNessM0nster](<https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/5u3z2s/cs_windshield_wipers_get_stuck_halfway_up/?st=iz73k7fl&sh=a0e43fd2>) noticed a customer's windshield wipers were stuck halfway up, he likely assumed it was some natural debris. He was wrong. It appears one of man's best friends decided to stash a ton of [Milk Bones](<https://www.milkbone.com/?gclid=CjwKEAiAlZDFBRCKncm67qihiHwSJABtoNIgatg1PfVfufqMeCIZecmUiNNc-MvbT7TGUU5OHX6MwRoCe4jw_wcB>) in the gap between the wiper posts beneath the hood.

## Approximately 100 Dog Bones Clogged the Windshield Wipers

Although we don’t know the exact scenario or culprit, we can safely assume it was not a dog as a dog would have a lot of difficulty getting onto the hood of the vehicle and carefully stashing each bone. It was most likely a squirrel who had gained access to a few boxes of Milk Bones left in someone’s back yard the had been slowly hacked away at by the mischievous rodent.

The upside? LochNessM0nster's customer won’t have a pack of dogs chasing his car anymore. *Rimshot*.
