to want to ask a person who does the school run I think her car decals are inappropriate?

NC
My dc go to a small semi rural school and it has one small road parents are allowed to park on. I've noticed one car (only because my dc -5- asked what a word was, the word was bitch) because of the stickers on the back. (I have mentioned the size of the school as it means all cars are parked up together and you normally see everyone each morning etc).

They stickers are large and pretty graphic, one about blow jobs and the others about being a bitch in 0-5 seconds.

I was thinking of asking the school if they could have the word- I get the free speech thing I just think it's a bit off displaying this around an infant school.

One of the stickers has a pixie/fairy type decal on it so some children notice it straight away. AIBU or should I just keep distracting and asking if the DCs have noticed the snowdrops

The school I work in have had to speak to parents for some inappropriate stuff. A dad came into the school office wearing a tee shirt with an obscene slogan. We also had to pull a couple in for their ringtones, one of which was the favourite of many a sectarian bigot, "The Sash". Crucially though this involved people in school grounds or the actual building, not parked up outside.

Another parent once came to tell me that the music i was listening to in my car was 'inappropriate' because it contained the word motherfucker. I laughed at her uptightness and carried on listening to my music.
there were no actual children around at this point.

I would not advise telling this person that the stickers are inappropriate. She knows they're inappropriate. That is why she likes them.

My son's first car was a 22year old micra and his sister bought him a sticker that said "Jesus is my airbag", we all thought it was funny but he got chased by some (let's say non-christians) who threatened him, we couldn't really understand their logic as they mentioned Allah when shouting at him. So he got rid of the sticker. My daughter had first seen a sticker like it on a vicar's car.

hmmm.....i can understand why you would find it unreasonable/uncouth.....but do you feel the same when your dc see billboards of naked/bikini clad women selling perfume etc?

I know someone with a act like this, I wonder if it's the same person!

[MymbleMother]

The "one near me" means a bumper sticker by the way. Obviously.

[MymbleMother]

There's one near me that says something along the lines of "if I wanted you up my arse I would expect to be taken for a drink first". My teens and I studiously refrained from commenting on it whilst sitting behind it in a traffic jam which seemed to last forever

Yuk.

[TaurielTest]

There's one parked in our road that says "I'm speeding cos I need a poo". Classy. My DSs think it's comedy gold.

My old NDN (in her 50s) thought it was the most hilarious thing that someone had drawn a willy with cum spurting out, and the word 'cock' underneath in the dirt on her son's car. I thought it was just a bit loser-ish and showed that they didn't really have any respect for their own property (they didn't incidentally), and was very glad that my DD was too young to notice, but I get your point completely OP. I wouldn't say anything though because you don't win with people who are quite happy to deface their own cars!

[Gobbolino6]

Just ignore. I have an acquaintance who sprinkles her (loud) conversation liberally with fucks in the KS1 playground. It's cringe worthy.

[JanetOfTheApes]

Its nothing to do with the school what a parent has on their car though, is it?

[GooseberryRoolz]

You'd essentially be appealing to her better nature. Have you sized her up to make a rough judgement about the likelihood of her having a better nature?

The other (dangerous) route is to get on chatty terms with her until you can make a 'jokey' remark about trying to avoid parking near her because your DC always practice their reading on her bumper stickers.

[LurkingHusband]

Remember those "My other car is a Rolls Royce" stickers from the 80s ? showing my age .

I often wanted to put one next to them that said "My other sticker is funny".

Could probably have made a fortune if I could have been bothered to order some and sell them ...

I remember being at primary school and a woman picking her kids up with a karma sutra top on with 100 sex positions in caroom all over the front and back. She seemed to wear it weekly, with no coat (or bra it seemed!) And all kids used to stare at her. It's only as an adult I really fully appreciate how awful that was to wear to pick up kids in. But at least she wasn't in pyjamas...

Not quite Dawn- the quiet ones are the ones you have to watch out for!

[GeorgesBriefs]

Yes Tea- I had "tell' the school and 'ask' the person in the header- no idea how some of it got lopped off

[GeorgesBriefs]

Vita- your mum is nuts. Very funny.

[teablanket]

I probably wouldn't want to antagonise a self-proclaimed bitch.

(The title is easy enough to get the gist of, but is worded a bit confusingly. Maybe "tell" would be better than "ask"?)

[GeorgesBriefs]

ah yes I have re read and I think when i C&P my text it must have lopped some off!

Thank you. Still getting used to my phone and it's autocorrect and missing pasted text.
