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

I’ve got one with a dinosaur devouring stick figures. It says “Your stick family was delicious”.

I’m not a fan of the stick families. (But my car is covered in nonsense so I can’t really judge anyone else).

Love the TIE fighter sticker! DH said the other day he liked the stick figure families, eurgh. However, we decided to opt for this one, thanks ebay.

I think they appeal to a very specific breeds.

The Huns with the more traditional ones.

And The Painful Hipsters who think they’re being edgy and ironic, but are just as twatish, but slightly more try-hard.

MadMags · 01/03/2018 10:28

Very specific breeds, not “a” very specific breeds, ffs!

I don't even notice them. On the other hand, I do judge private plate owners.

MadMags · 01/03/2018 10:35

Shite, didn’t read the thread! Blush

I didn’t think anyone on MN would have one...or admit to having one! Grin

Luxembourgmama · 01/03/2018 10:41

I thought the baby on board ones were to indicate that you were driving sleep deprived and distracted?

CavoliRiscaldati · 01/03/2018 10:43

It's a good thing emergency services completely ignore the stickers, as "princess on board" is usually a 20 year old chavy princess, no parents ever removes a sticker when the baby is not in the car anyway and the list goes on!

dingdongdigeridoo · 01/03/2018 10:54

I once saw one that said ‘the closer you get, the slower I go!’ which I got a good view of when they pulled across a lane without indicating and slammed their brakes on, meaning I almost went into the back of them. I bet the smug twat thinks they’re the best driver on the road.

My least favourite are the mini tshirt things that say ‘princess chavvvyname on board’. Cool just advertise your kid’s name to the world.

liquidrevolution · 01/03/2018 10:54

I have a National Trust sticker in the front window. nothing else!

Worieddd · 01/03/2018 10:55

And the baby on board ones.

So fucking what

Pleasebeafleabite · 01/03/2018 11:10

CavoliRiscaldati why judge private plate owners?

HerFemaleness · 01/03/2018 11:11

I have a secret hankering for a transformers sticker for the car, maybe the Decepticon one. Is that wrong? I'm an 80's kid.

Birdsgottafly · 01/03/2018 11:18

Madmags, I'm choosing my next car (when I can drive again) to suit having eyelashes, what breed does that make me?

"Someone near us has eyelashes, antlers and a tail on her car,"

See, I love Reindeers and Christ, I can see me doing that and having an in-car Christmas Tree from the middle of December.

Blaaake expects threads on here about you in the future, you are that MIL Grin

Ididnothearthat · 01/03/2018 11:27

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

Agree with useless stickers but the baby on board one is important to use only when you do have baby on board and should be taken out when not travelling with baby. I only know this because DH is a paramedic and told me that in a car crash sometimes babies can be thrown out, horrible i know. But if you have a baby on board sign and empty car seat. They would check surrounding areas for baby! So important both ways to find your baby or not waste time.

We used to have those little penant shaped car stickers all over the back of our Austin Allegro (mustard coloured) in the 70's. You know the ones that said St Ives or Filey (other destinations also existed). We always got one on a holiday or a day trip to the sea side. You don't see them anymore.

  • totally misses point of thread.
stopbeingadramallama · 01/03/2018 11:37

My ex had 'bye bye police' on the back. I refused to get in the car. Twat.

MadMags · 01/03/2018 13:42

Birds definitely a Hun! Grin

KurriKurri · 01/03/2018 14:02

I saw one a couple of days ago which said 'Little Man on Board' - like they'd kidnapped some random vertically challenged gentleman - I wanted to run after the car and rescue him.

Plannergirl9 · 01/03/2018 14:15

The elderly couple next to me has several Playboy bunny stickers on their car. I often wonder if they put them up themselves.

NC1990 · 01/03/2018 14:22

I saw one the other day that said 'If you can read this I've lost my caravan'. I'll admit, I did have a chuckle.

I hate the Baby on Board signs, but perhaps that makes me a hypocrite as I did used to have one that said 'Cavaliers on Board' (I'm a bit of a crazy dog lady and love my little Spaniels Blush).

I also have a private plate, looked really cool when I drove a trendy little Audi A1. Not so much on my current 'mum car' 🙈

SadMalignantTwat · 01/03/2018 14:23

HerFemaleness

I’ve got a transformers one! (80s kid also)

FirstMumToBe · 01/03/2018 14:26

Someone from work has a 'Powered by Bitch dust'
She must easily be in her late 40s!!!

Mandatorymongoose · 01/03/2018 14:29

The worst one I've ever seen was in Blackpool. Boy racer type car with various stickers. One of which said:

"Goes faster than a smackheads giro"

Vile.
