Anyone carry a squeegee in a vehicle?

I've tried on one car and strangely enough the glass kind of pulls away from the seal and when I bring the window back up it's still the same other than maybe a little bit of water gets squeezed off. And the rear windows don't go all the way down anyways.
But the squeegee does a considerably better job. Even in cars that do scrape off the dew, I still see lots of water that sticks and reduces visibility. I'm not talking about rainy conditions as a squeegee isn't going to help. But morning conditions where there's condensation on the rear and side windows. Of course I let the wipers work on the front window.
I had absolutely no idea this was even a thing people did… I’m not gonna lie if you lived in my neighborhood and saw this happening from then on I would refer to you as “the guy down the street who squeegees his windows.”
I think there's a squeegee on one side of my snow/ice scraper, but I never use it for squeegeeing. Wipers and lowering/raising the windows and gas station squeegees are fine.
Squeegees are great for house windows, though. People would tell me to use paper towels or newspaper and things to clean the windows to avoid streaks. Then I tried a squeegee on them, and that was the end of being annoyed when washing windows.

I keep an old wiper blade in the trunk and use that to wipe off my windows
That reminds me. I do need to get another. Maybe the $1.25 store has them. 
I also keep a squeegee in my car. I use it a lot.
no squeegee in any of my vehicles.
No squeegee but a Calif duster in trunk and a small one in console for my dash if it gets dusty in all my vehicles. MIL thinks I am nuts.No! but I do keep a California Duster in the trunk.
Yep
Yes, Dollar Tree sells a short-handle (one-hand) version, which I prefer (and couldn't find at Walmart or Advance Auto). It's a little too wide, but usable.That reminds me. I do need to get another. Maybe the $1.25 store has them.
Yes, I keep an Ettore in the car
No, but will now consider getting one.
Yes. I have had one by the driver's seat for several years. Plus, a spare windshield wiper in the trunk. In case one gets knocked off.
I don’t understand. What is it used for? I’ve never once wished I had one in the vehicle.
