To hate the stickers on the back of cars?

I know, I know, not my car, not my place to moan but...
One that I saw today made me a bit sick in my mouth. It said 'IF YOU ARE GOING TO REAR END ME...pull my hair first'

There was one that used to drive round town with loads of them on the back. Another that had the silhouette of a woman on her back with the legs akimbo. Confused

Me too. Most of them are pretty trite tbh, and not very funny

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 28/02/2018 18:17

Tacky AF

KinkyAfro · 28/02/2018 18:22

I would totally judge anyone who had one of these, really tacky and pathetic

Dp finds the 'powered by fairy dust' useful as a warning on who to give a wide berth to.

chinnyrekkon · 28/02/2018 18:28

Powered by fairy dust = stay well back as vapid ninny driving in front.

TillyMint81 · 28/02/2018 18:28

cornetto oh god they are bad, often paired with eyelashes for the front lights. EYELASHES Hmm

X post! Grin

BigBrownBoogyinBear · 28/02/2018 18:29

We've got one that says "Tailgaters will be hexed" in a Harry Potter font. It's awesome 😁

A mum near me has a "little shits on board" one. It's absolutely hideous. Those poor kids.

MrsFloraPoste · 28/02/2018 18:35

Someone on the school run has “little shits on board.” As said by pp, those poor kids. It’s in such poor taste.
Not to mention the fact that as soon as the kids do their phonics lessons and start reading everything they see, they all get to troop past that fantastic example of the written word twice a day. Confused

icelolly99 · 28/02/2018 18:38

Yes, hate all these; no one cares if you have a baby/twins/show dogs on board or those stupid double entendre slogans Angry

Peachesandcream15 · 28/02/2018 18:38

I hate it when people call their children little shots.

My worst spot - porn star in the making. Why? Just why?

BunnerRean · 28/02/2018 18:38

One near me... 'Send Nudes'
On a driveway next to a primary school. Classy!

PodgeBod · 28/02/2018 18:38

Every time I see "powered by pixie dust" I start ranting about the price of petrol Grin

ShowOfHands · 28/02/2018 18:38

Woman on the school run has "Cowboy's butts drive me nuts" (apostrophe and all). If I roll my eyes any harder, I'm going to pull something.

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 28/02/2018 18:40

I found them a useful indicator that an utter twat is behind the wheel.

SilverHairedCat · 28/02/2018 18:43

I don't understand the ones who have the stick families, especially the ones with names on. Well done on telling everyone, including dodgy people or pervs, the name of your kids, their parents and the family dog and cat. That's a great "in" for conversation for these people.

Loonyluna16 · 28/02/2018 18:43

Hate them. Went on to my dad about how much I hated them just after buying a car. Car was still in the garage as the roof was stuck down (convertible) we went to pick up the car and there it was in neon bloody pink on the windscreen "dude I almost had you" from fast and furious. I was out with a scraper and nail varnish remover that day. I cringe anytime I see them. Also the powered by fairy dust Hmm generally driven by a twunt that drives at 20mph in a 60.. me thinks your fairy dust is running low

ForalltheSaints · 28/02/2018 18:45

So 1980s!

Sarahh2014 · 28/02/2018 18:47

Some of them can be amusing

DoubleNegativePanda · 28/02/2018 18:53

I loathe bumper stickers. I hate them all, they look terrible and if you're paying attention to your surroundings you shouldn't be reading trite shit slapped on a car anyway.

Ex-DH once went to a men's conference (don't get me started. it was stupid) and came home with a bumper sticker that said "I my wife" and then slapped it on our shared car without consulting me. I was incandescent with rage. I am now happily single for five years and drive a perfectly naked car. That was not the catalyst of our divorce but I do occasionally think about the fact that my car has no fear of being mucked up with stickers.

Efferlunt · 28/02/2018 19:02

I worked with a dude who had a 4x4 with one of those wheels with a covers on the back. The cover had a giant laminated photo of his kids on it. I made the assumption he was a complete twunk and was surprised he seemed quite normal. He then revealed it was a present from his MIL and that he was embarrassed to be driving around with it but it was a bit difficult to remove without upsetting MIL...

geekymommy · 28/02/2018 19:20

I have some stickers (and magnets) on the back of my car. They help me and my kids distinguish our car from other cars of the same make, model, and color. Of which there are a lot- I drive a popular car.

TattyTShirt · 28/02/2018 19:24

' Baby On Board...' "And???"

' Prince/ess on Board... "And??"

SloanePeterson · 28/02/2018 19:25

BunnerRean, you must be near me. I refuse to believe there's more than one car emblazoned with Send Nudes right next to a school. Hideous.
