Anti–Hose Catcher

My bad.

What a tease, to get you all excited about finally solving the problem of runs in your hose along with the unsightly laddering that soon follows.

No, this one goes in the garage.

"An age old car washing problem solved" is what the headline says.

The website continues:

"How many times have you yanked on the hose while washing the car only to have it catch under a tire?"

Well, I'll be honest with you: it's been so long since I've washed my car that I really can't remember how many times — but it's been a very long time indeed since the last cleansing.

"Big problem? No. Major frustration provider? Yes."

When I'm annoyed by the hose–tire problem (this is a little like the mind–body problem but on a slightly smaller scale) is when I'm putting air in my tires at a gas station.

The darn hose is always catching under my tires as I make my way around the car.

Think this would work?

Can you see me trotting these nifty yellow devices out of my trunk and placing them around my tires before beginning my inflation routine?

You can?

Get outa here.

More from the website: "This simple solution solves the problem forever."

They're made of plastic and "highly effective."
