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

Mine has 'Scrappage Scheme Survivor' on it.

Someone near us has eyelashes, antlers and a tail on her car, plus some kind of mad stickers to make it look like a ladybird. Firstly, ladybirds don't have antlers or tails. And also, it's a car driven only by a weapons-grade bellend.

I have “drive it like you stole it” on the back of my car, but in my defence it is a 15 year old sporty /gti model that I bought for £500 from a boy racer so not put there by me!
This thread is making me think I should probably get around to removing that sometime soon... Blush

I thought the 'baby on board' stickers were originally introduced for the emergency services in case you were involved in a car crash? Have I made that up?

Also the fish with 'Darwin' written in them used to make me smile.

YANBU.

My brother put one on my first car when I was 17 (many years ago!) that had Manchester United on it. I didn't notice it at first, but i was reversing out of a car parking space in Manchester when there was a knock on the window. Crap, I thought, what have I hit??

It was alex Ferguson. "I like your sticker," he said gruffly. And walked off.

I was really confused until I found it later on, but also quite pleased!

Yes.

They're just marketing shite. Emergency services pay zero attention to them.

I've seen "ex wife in boot".

Because the Emergency Services will miss a child in a car seat but will spot a 4x3 ins sticker - right? 🤔

I want an stbxh one butchy

In the meantime I will make do with my little devil decal

OP would despair of me

I saw one this week that said ‘Cliff Richard on Board’ Shock I was a bit alarmed that the kidnapper was so blatant about it ...

honeylulu · 28/02/2018 22:12

I saw "Baby is Bored" once. I quite liked that take on it.

magoria · 28/02/2018 22:16

I love mine.

DP had one on his car when I met him. Clapped out Fiat 126 in a lovely piss yellow colour. Sticker read someone along the lines of "It might be a heap of shit but I'm still in front of you" .. did make me lol, and really set the tone for DP.
Powered by fairy dust makes me die a little inside.
Saw someone advertising her instagram the other day... nause.

Raven i like that one a lot.

Pp about your wheelchair sticker. Really no one pays attention to it? That is shocking.

My bumper sticker is a tie pilot, my dash sticker reads "driver picks the music shotgun shuts his cake hole"

Am now totally outed to any friends on here 😂

Zapdos · 28/02/2018 22:50

There's a car round here with similar: if you're going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair. Complete with raunchy silhouette. Classy.

blaaake · 28/02/2018 22:58

My son's girlfriend had a 'powered by fairy dust' one on the boot of her car. I removed it. She hasn't noticed Grin

DarthNigel · 01/03/2018 07:42

My first car was a clapped out Metro. It came with a large sticker on the back windscreen that read 'BASS-the final frontier....' which was ironic as the radio barely even worked.

jeanlou1se · 01/03/2018 08:47

I’ve seen a few saying ‘Powered by Bitch Dust’. What even is that?

BluthsFrozenBananas · 01/03/2018 08:59

I saw one of the baby on board type signs other day saying “little lifesaver on board”. I have absolutely no idea what it meant, had the baby saved someone’s life? If so was it in a literal or metaphorical way? How the hell do babies save lives and how can it happen often enough for a sign to be made and sold? So many questions I’ll never know the answer too...

mummyrabbitpeppapig · 01/03/2018 09:37

The ones on the front are best. Mine says Trace n Daz

Sarahrose21 · 01/03/2018 10:10

Saw one recently with a 'powered by fairy dust' sticker and someone with a great sense of humour had written in the dirt under it ' but driven by a twat' that made me chuckle
