Going to an automatic car wash is often times the most convenient and quickest way to clean the exterior of your vehicle.
There are some safety precautions one must take, however, with the most elementary one being to check that all the windows are in place and, more importantly, that they are in a closed position. Well, one woman from Anchorage, Alaska got this wrong and lined up to wash her car despite the fact that the driver’s window was halfway open and stuck in that position.
She didn’t seem to be aware of this “minor” malfunction until it was too late and her turn came to enter the car wash. According to the video description on ViralHog, the car window had some issues before, but the driver totally forgot about those when she took her car to get washed on March 27.

“Before the car wash, our car window had some issues, but we totally forgot until we got there. My mom was the driver, and my brother was in the backseat eating chips the whole time. The ending result was a soaked car interior and a good, laughter filled experience,” wrote one of the driver’s children.
As the woman realized the problem, she tried to find a way to cover the open window. The best solution she could come up with was to use two jackets to block the water from entering the cabin. As you can imagine, that wasn’t very effective and water still found a way to soak the interior, especially the driver’s area.
The kids seemed to have a good time, though, and they enjoyed the unexpected shower. Well, that’s probably the attitude to have if you’re ever caught up in something like this.
