Raindrops come in all different shapes and sizes; most of the time not in the famous teardrop shape. It is entirely dependent on wind conditions, humidity, the type of cloud it fell from and many other contributing weather factors.
Whilst falling a raindrop will tend to form a perfect sphere due to surface tension taking up the smallest area.

Why do we see a distorted view when we look through a window covered with raindrops?
The irregular shapes of the raindrops scatter the image of the outside as the light is refracted or bent when it hits the raindrops. It all goes back to the fact that the speed of light is slower in glass or liquid. You dont really notice a distortion in the glass as it is uniform - all the same thickness, but the raindrops are all different shapes, bending the light in many different angles.
