I guess I developed an aversion to window washing, since it was one of my childhood chores. I had to wash every window of a 5-bedroom house, inside and out, every week (I know, first world problem). Anyway, I'm pretty sure I have not washed a window since I moved out 30 years ago. There's only so much dirt that will stick to a window, and I can still see the yard.
Do you do it?

So me, being the smartass that I am, reply with "yeah mop the floors and wash the windows." I get home at about 4pm and she tells me "you ran out of paper towels so I was only able to wash the windows on the first floor."

The film that coats the inside of the truck windows diffracts light at night, so I at least keep my windshield clean. That way, oncoming traffic isn't a bright blur.
