That's new

I was standing at the platform yesterday, waiting for the train to carry me home while eating my shawarma dinner, when I saw two men, dressed all in black, with ski masks and just basically looking like the thugs in an American movie involving an armed robbery. They were washing the windows on the train currently at the platform - spray and wipe and then they ran down into the tunnel that connects the various platforms and away.

Is this a thing now? Guerrilla window washers? I mean, is it a thing like those people who knit covers for traffic signs or those people who sneak-plant pretty flowers in public bits of grass? Or was it just a bit of random oddness, I wonder...

If it IS a thing, they are really very welcome to come by here and wash my car *g*

[oneiriad]

Offer the right sort of bribe, and I suspect you could persuade some fen to wash your car?

[calvinahobbes]

Haha, I think I'd feel too guilty ;o) I should props just take it to the car wash.

[oneiriad]

Possibly. Anyway, you shouldn't wish to have your car washed by the guerrillas - they were in such a hurry to dramatically run away, that they didn't take the time to wipe properly - almost as many stripes as a zebra. Which on an s-train isn't really a problem, compared to the solid wall of graffiti you sometimes see, but still...

Haha, one can hope they'll develop their skills as they guerilla wash (washiti?) more train cars :oP Unless the bad job is part of the Message?! Hmmm...!
