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

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

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 ...

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

classy

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
