I was just thinking about this tonight. I broomed off my roof before I left the house. I cannot reach it without a standard room .

Then I'm out all day parked. My roof is reloaded and I can't reach. I cleaned off the rest of the car but this is exactly how it slides down when ai can't reach the roof.

This new proposed law is a bit unfair to average height or below women.

A link would be helpful. I have never seen this and don't k ow where they sell them or what they are called. Really? Followed by an image is a dick move and not meant to be helpful. Are you trying to be helpful or nah?

It's a snow broom. They're literally in every hardware and big box store. Same places you went to buy your shovel and ice scraper. It hadn't occurred to me that you don't know what it is or haven't seen anybody use one. I thought you were being sarcastic. If you are an adult person who drives in Maine, you should have this in your car and use it every time it snows. It works a hundred times faster and better than a broom.

I am also a short woman and I call shenanigans on trying to pull the short woman card. Don't do that.

I assure you, they are not in every hardware store. I'm in the hardware stores here regularly. I haven't been in a big box store for a while except for walmart. They didn't even have ice scrapers there. I will check Lowes and Home Depot the next time I drive down to Bangor. Thanks for letting me know it exists. The rest of your approach, entitlement and uppity bs I could do without.

You can order them online from Lowe's or Home Depot or Ace Hardware. They are very, very common. You will be glad you got it.

But please. Don't go around saying you can't do the things that adults have to do or you're being discriminated against because you're a short woman, even a very short woman. That's not a good way to think about yourself or train other people to think about you. I don't care if you're mad at me if it makes you stop and think before you say something like that again.

They are sold all over. Walmart, Home Depot, Staples, or even Amazon. The pic was to get you to think about options other than playing the "unfair to women" card.

I keep a broom in my car for this reason but I can’t get all the snow off the roof. I push the top few inches off but it’s definitely not getting clean because I’m just a tiny person.

To be fair, my car is an SUV. When I had lower cars, it was never an issue as long as I had my broom or a longer snow brush.

I get the law and see the need for it because this would have been easy to prevent, but it does discriminate against shorter people a bit.

Some people actually keep the tools necessary for winter road safety in their vehicles, like a scraper, shovel, and broom. Some people even invest in a collapsible snow pusher. Even below average height women, which I am, are capable of this.
