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?

Best one was on a bakers van

'No cakes are left in this vehicle overnight'

the idea that the sign tells paramedics to look for the baby is ridiculous. It would only make sense if these precious people put the signs on, and took them off, when their child enters or leaves the vehicle.

I sometimes think of shouting to a driver (unaccompanied) with one of these signs, when she pulls out of a M&B parking space with a BoB sign "come back! You've forgotten to take your baby!"

I've got "Please be Patient Autistic Children on Board"
Mainly because of the abuse I got from (legitimately) using blue badge bays.
Also because the number of impatient people who sit there sighing at me to vacate the space whilst the dcs faff about, have their belts done a certain way yada yada

We parked next to one yesterday displaying a 'proud new mummy to "child's name" 2011' with lots of hearts and pink fairy type shit all over it. I was most annoyed that we were in a parent and child space and I couldn't ram my door repeatedly into theirs by accident. They also had cuddly toys all over the parcel shelf. My anger was justified.

For years I had a car sticker saying "back off, pasty on board"! Bought it in Cornwall on holiday. Grin

I want " get as close as you like. I have shit loads of insurance and I will sue the fuck out of you"

Glitterknickaz · 06/06/2011 12:47

"I don't give a shit, it's on lease, just try me" Grin

I'm now toying with the idea of having a menopausal driver at the wheel printed for me.

I always have a strong desire to key cars which proclaim their owner's belief in christianity. Okay, they've only got a fish sticker on the back. But for some reason it irritates the hell out of me.

I find the Jesusfish people can't drive very well. Perhaps they expect The Lord to save them in the event of their crap driving causing a crash....

I've posted about this before, but the one that I still remember word for word because it was so gobsmackingly WTF! was a yellow/black triangle reading:

Pull Back!!
Spare the life of my child!

Like you were actively planning on killing their kid, but the sign would make you think twice...?

Mumofaflump · 06/06/2011 16:03

The only sticker currently on my car is on the rear window. It says "Warning! Tailgate at your own risk. Flamer kit installed."

I did have one on my last car that said "Young Farmers do it in wellies".

Jenmummy · 06/06/2011 16:10

I always interpret those 'baby on board' signs to mean 'baby most likely driving' and i get out of the way - IME these cars are ususally VERY badly driven....(ducks...)

edam · 06/06/2011 16:15

jeee, you can get your own back with atheist car stickers...

And these ones

SnuffleTurtle153 · 06/06/2011 16:17

I once went out for dinner with a man who had a sticker in his back window that said 'Caravanners do it slowly'.

I didn't see him again.

SnuffleTurtle153 · 06/06/2011 16:18

My fave though has to be 'Jesus Christ Loves You. Everyone else thinks you're a cunt' Grin

Trinaluce · 06/06/2011 16:21

Best one I ever saw was 'Robot Wars robot on board'.

I wanted to follow it just to find out where he was going and see him unload Grin

I may get myself a 'Hater Of Baby On Board Signs On Board' sign

CeliaFate · 06/06/2011 17:12

I'd like to see "No child on board. Please feel free to crash into me."
