You're already late for work.

Rushing won't help that. Speeding won't help that. Aggressively accelerating and slamming on brakes won't help that.

By the time I'm late for work, it's no more annoying than seeing it on any other morning where I'm still going to work, and still have to scrape at ice/frost.

Maybe it's just not my personal compounding annoyance, because I certainly understand multiple minor annoyances piling on making you pissed.

Lpt: boil water at night before bed, so you can use it to melt the ice off the windshield. Just pop it in the freezer to keep it until morning.

A towel over the windshield the night before instantly clears any ice or snow when you remove it. It's faster than any scraping or product, and you don't waste fuel warming up the car.

Until you get a night that was supposed to be snow but instead was freezing rain, and now instead of just ice hard frozen onto your windshield you have ice and a towel, which is infinitely more horrible?

You would still need to break the ice around it, but it will come off in one piece. We don't get snow much around where I live, but sure, as shit get ice and the towel has helped immensely.
