to have an irrational hatred of drivers who

[thederkinsdame]

have stickers on their car saying 'powered by fairydust'?
It is not cute, it is not ironic, it is not even amusing. It is baffling and slightly odd that a grown woman would choose to drive round in a car that looks like a four year old has chosen to modify it.

The best car sticker I ever saw said "My other car sticker is funny"

Saw one a couple of weeks ago which looked like one of the 'princess on board' ones but said 'Ex-husband in boot' - that really made me LOL .

alittleteapot I was just about to say that one! I didn't see it in a car, I saw it in Halfords or somewhere and bought it. Not for my car of course. Just because I thought it was funny.

Orm, made me smile, too! It hits just the right slightly mad and mysterious note...

DH keeps threatening to get 'Don't Come Knocking When The MotorHome's Rocking'

for our camper

I saw a car in the works car park with the usual prince and princess whoever on board.

With the new one to me 'Lady Victoria MILF on board' I did not see the driver!

My SIL would love a powered by fairydust but BIL is not having it - he does have the Darwin one though.

My sister goes on about one which was a dinosaur eating the Christian fish, never seen it again though.
Did decide that they were alright though as in a car crash the emergency services should rescue the other cars passengers first as they won't be going to a better place.

When I was living in central america I quaked in my boots if I saw a car with the fish. They were the worst drivers (if that were possible)and I gave them a wide bearth. My theory was as that as soon as evangelical christians were baptised they didn't mind dying as they were going straight to heaven.
The drivers with the crosses and virgin marys didn't seem to have such a death wish.

Im always tempted to buy the "powered by fairydust" stickers and to sneak out at night and put them on DH's car so that when he is screaming down the M1 to London he'll have no idea why people are sniggering at him.

YABU.

Such a hatred is in no way irrational

Further to my post, on the contrary YABU because these stickers are a warning sign and you can take all the appropriate defensive driving measures when you see them They provide a vital service!

Tooly - that is a bloody good point! I remember seeing one woman in a pink micro with flower stickers all over it, and the way she was driving she was definitely away with the fairies, pulled out twice in front of someone!! Made me glad she was in front of me and not behind me - I was keeping well back!

my friend had the powered by fairy dust sticker .... and also a fairy , and the whole car was covered in silver holographic star decals ....was a silver car so you didnt notice until it was hit by sunlight then you were blinded by the glitter.

Her hubby does car signs /decals for a living ! was a wedding pressie too her.

(was a bit ott , but she was only 26 at the time) .

she drives a normal car now.(and its stickerless)

Does anyone have a sticker of a black bull on their car? I have seen loads of these around and wonder what they mean. I can't imagine there are that many Spanish people in our town!

Baby on Board signs are ridiculous

YANBU

But try living in the states!!

I was there for a year and the ones I loathed went "my son/daughter is on the honor roll at 'whatever' High School in 'name of town'....I have high expectations"

Urgh!! I thought they were a joke to start with until the people I worked for said they were serious and also they would happily display one for their kids in the future (they were too young at the time)

Quite a while later, I saw one which said "my kid beat up your honor roll student" which was most amusing.

So while I find "baby on board" totally pointless, it doesn't really compare!

toolly - I am with you on christian fishes. Here in US if I see a Christian fish on the back of the car I get out of the way.

Muriel76 - The funniest is when the stickers get old and start peeling off and parents try to superglue them back on.

A guy I worked for had a Harvard sticker in the back windscreen of his car. The only problem was that he didn't go to Harvard and I knew because I saw his resume and did his education check when he was hired.

I think I must live near you EauRouge as I often see a bright magenta escort cabriolet with personalised number plates and loads of stickers.
Or maybe there are just loads of them about!

I have recently seen 'knackered parent on autopilot - keep back'

and 'may brake suddenly' on the back of a hearse

But my fave had to be the gentleman with 'yes I DO own the road' on his bumper sticker. I passed him on the M25 - he'd hit the barrier. I did slow down to grin at him though.

But no YANBU.

Powered by fairydust just means they have put too much talc in their knickers.

Countryside Alliance stickers are awful. They may as well read "Idiotic, pompous, sadistic scumbag on board"!

I have always wanted a

"Powered by an unnerving sense that all human existence is ultimately futile"

but I don't think it would fit. Pity as it might teach the twunts who drive up my bumper each morning, whilst stuck behind a lorry on single lane country roads, some new vocabulary.

My favourite was on a knackered old Escort with 4 scally lads in it which said;

'How's my driving? Call 0800 FUCK YOU'

It actually did make me laugh for some time I have to say.

Oh yes Countryside Alliance stickers. Particularly dislike the 'keep on hunting' ones - if I break their windows is that okay because they are encouraging me to break the law and I'm just interpreting their direction in my own way?

Booj and Whomoved, I'm with you on the Countryside Alliance stickers! "Keep your bullsh*t in Westminester", eh? Well, "Keep out my way in case I accidentally call the police if I see you as much as sniff a fox or deer"!
