Revenge is a dish best served wet and pressurized, a teenage car wash worker has decided after a customer hurled a drink at her.
Anna Harycki, 18, became a viral sensation for spraying water from a powerful hose through the open window of a rude customer’s vehicle while working at an Indiana car wash.
The 14-second clip opens with Harycki power-washing a white sedan when the driver suddenly rolls down her window and chucks a plastic cup of lemonade that splashes the teen.
Without missing a beat, Harycki instantly retaliates by aiming her hose at the woman’s open window and dousing her — before carrying on with her work as if nothing happened.
The splashy moment, which occurred on Feb. 3, has gone viral on Instagram, racking up over 62 million views — and prompting the car wash to impose a ban on the drink-tossing customer.
“I was loading the car like I did with so many cars before that, making sure they safely entered the car wash belt,” Harycki told What’sTheJam.
“Once I pulled the car in all the way, I put the numbers into the system so they got the car wash they paid for.”
“I picked up the pressure washer and started spraying down their car,” she explained.
“The girl rolled down her window and threw lemonade at me, and I was in shock.”
Harycki said her “reaction” to the affront was to “just power wash the window” the woman had decided to roll down.
Harycki, who is a student, said her employer sided with her to ensure her workplace safety.
“I told my managers, who were not OK with [the customer] throwing a drink at me,” she said.
“They decided to ban her and her boyfriend from the car wash.”
