Just............why?

[Marshy]

Seen in the back of a car whilst I was out driving yesterday - "our grandson child's name on board"

Was IBU not to ram the car?

show bees? I have never heard of such a thing....

or, are you joking and I'm being really gullible?

'Nits on board' might be more of a deterrent.

Saw a car yesterday with Thomas the Tank Engine branded 'Jayden on Board' on one side and some kind of pink version 'Allanah on Board' on the other side.

I oughtn't poke fun really, I have vinyl pawprints all over mine to cover the dents.

i always think (boring sod that i am) that those stickers make your car less safe as they decrease the rear view space....(more so than the child seats themselves do)

Pa used to have a beekeeping manufacturing company and used to do agricultural show sometimes with an observation hive. But he was joking as he couldn't stand the ceaseless of those signs.

He did, however, have labels which said words to the effect of 'warning live bees' which went on envelopes which had queen bees in when they were posted - used to freak the postie out! (they were in special cages with food and were quite safe!)

How about 'I'm too aspirational to have a sticker in my car' sticker?

'My other car is even more ostentatiously second hand than this' (i am not sure that is a real word.

'Mumsnetters do it in Cath Kidston'

'Nest of Vipers in Transit'

Bee cages! How sweet.

I saw one in Beckengam 'Future millionaire on board'

was I wrong not to kill them?

Bah - for ceaseless read crassness (sorry on iPhone)

'Powered by fairy dust' is fucking annoying too. Having said that, maybe DM readers' cars should have a 'Powered by self-righteous indignation' stickers.

I saw a handmade bumper sticker that said "Fat Twat Who Ain't All That on board" Some girlfriends revenge maybe?

I'm going to get my mum and her slimming friends a "nest of vipers" sign, they blimmin need it...

I'm going to manufacture "Big Ole Judgypanys On Board" and "Grape Feeder On Board"

I am at future millionaire - what kind of message is that sending to your kids??

There's got to be a market for stickers that read "Driver Finds Stickers Twee And Annoying".

In the USA, they get bumper stickers with 'Proud parent of an XYZ Junior High Honor Roll student' or whatever written on it... You see some cars platered in them and wonder exactly how loathed they are by parents of kids who haven't achieved as much...

Have you not seen the "my child beat up your honor student" stickers then?

@ Jeremy - you really have to say that one out loud to get the full effect. I wonder if the driver knew it was there.

Have you not seen the "my child beat up your honor student" stickers then?

"Baby On Board - Sleep Deprived Parent Liable To Swerve/Brake/Change Lane Unexpectedly - Give Wide Berth For Safety Of Self"

How about 'AIBU to use this parent and child space' ?

Or 'How's my driving? '

It's gone too far. The signs (removable) were supposed to be there to alert the emergency services in an accident, a small baby can be missed in a wreck/pile up, but they are so misused now that it's totally meaningless.

I would love a 'you can crash into me because I'm driving alone'
or 'look we're fertile and we have children'

i had a 'tweenies fan on board' sign when dd was a toddler
theres a woman at school who has
'taylor on board'
'lacey on board'
'brandon on board'
'worlds best mum on board'
'worlds best dad on board'
all stuck along the back window.i chuckle every time i see it.

Princess on board is the worse one.

I could never see the point of "Baby on Board" signs I until I had a child. I now take it to mean, "knackered and possibly hormonal parent of screaming and distracting infant driving" and give them the benefit of the doubt / cut them some slack.

Then again I am only a Learner Diver and no fucker seems to show me any courtesy.

Futurenannyog - that is interesting i can see why someone originally thought them up now. In the US i have seen people have stickers on the home windows to let the fire brigade know if they have pets to be rescued. Same sort of thing.

Shame the original purpose has been ruined by the princess fairy dust prats.
