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.

Not quite a car sticker but there is a guy in our local cricket team who has a reg plate that is apparently supposed to read "howzat" (as in what cricketers shout when they think they've taken a wicket ... spot the cricket widow) ... but it's rubbish and looks nothing like it and every time I see it all I read is "who shat" ... makes me giggle every time.

PMSL at "who shat"

I always figured the "powered by fairydust" thing was a reference to the driver snorting angel dust! It would explain some of the drivers abilities

All car stickers are shit. Why do people feel the need to display their opinions anyway? I couldn't care less if you've Been To Longleat or Waved At The Queen in London. Or if you Heart Otters. What's more, I DON'T KNOW YOU.
Stop cluttering my over-tired brain with your nonsense please and save your pointless me-me-me jabbering for Facebook.

If I could fit all that on a sticker I might change my stance though

I avoid both the Christian Fish drivers and the Darwin Fish drivers as they're both so full of their own certainties that they're generally really shit drivers. Seriously, I've been cut up by Darwinists just as much as Christians...

There is a pink car in a road near us with the full on powered by fairydust, wacky lizard, flowers and fairies decal. When we were looking for a new car recently DD (5) kept asking DH why didn't he get one like that :o

There's a lady near us who drives a really beat up Datsun Cherry with a fish on the bumper and a huge sticker saying "JESUS!!!" in the back of her window. It's pretty much what everyone says when she pulls out in front of them at 10 miles an hour on the A12...

I think the worst one I've ever seen (and I've only ever seen it once but it stuck in my head for the sheer weirdness) was a Baby On Board type yellow sticker but it said

"Pull Back! Spare the life of my child!"

I found the mixture of pomposity and overblown drama quite compelling. Probably a PFB on board (now, where can I get one of those...)

I've never seen one in the UK, but I like the US ones that say 'When the Rapture comes, can I have your car?'.

We used to have a Darwin fish on DH's car (Lovecat, DH's driving is vv g ) but it was sold along with the car and I suspect the buyer didn't treasure it... I'd get him another one but he has a smarter car now, and is loath to spoil it with accessories.

Have never seen a Fairydust one - how odd, given everyone on here has! We obviously live in a very un-Fey area...

Not a bumper sticker but I saw the most interesting car on the way home just now. It was a Ford Fiesta and every peice of the bodywork was a different colour and it had Joseph's Technicolour Car written down the side...

shivers

Once saw a sticker saying - Caution overtaking - drivers good looks may distract.

When I was overtaking - yeah I know spot the deliberate mistake - the driver was a balding hairy-arsed builder type .

We saw a caravan thing (god I cant remember the name of them- whe you drive them too) on our way back from hols and it had dream catchers all inside it and stickers down the sides of native americans and wolves....I found it a bit sinister....
The baby on board signs were bought up o the Jeremy Vine show a few months ago, I cant help listening to him because it means I can chunter about him for the whole afternoon, ad he said they were there so that in an car accident the police/firebrigade would be able to rescue them. He said it was dreadful if people kept them in there car if the child wasnt on board because firemen would risk their lives looking for them....which made me think you should have a sticker in the back of your car saying exactly how many poeple you had in your car else th firemen would say "nope , no-one in there as their ist a sticker, lets leave it to burn"....

Motorhome? Sometimes called a Motorcaravan as well.

GetOrf this is my new favourite phrase, I shall use it often:

I laughed like a pixie when I saw that.
