To be offended by this car?

There is a purple car parked opposite me that has been there for a few days - new neighbours unfortunately.

It is a purple boy racer car with "fake taxi" on the back of it and on the spoilers. There is even a couple of stick figures in a suggestive pose.

AIBU to think this is gross? My 3 year old asked was asking about it and I had to make a quick answer up.

The guy who owns this car is a family man with 2 children?

Don't know if others would be unhappy about this or if it's a non issue?

Non issue. Just because you are offended doesn't make you right.

EskewedBeef · 06/07/2019 17:55

What was the 3 year old asking?

MyOpinionIsValid · 06/07/2019 17:56

Pictures please

Toodeloo · 06/07/2019 17:57

Hahahahaha! Awesome sense of humour. I love it!

Pipandmum · 06/07/2019 17:57

I’d roll my eyes then immediately forget about it.

Boringweekend · 06/07/2019 17:57

No that’s mint banter get a life

Redglitter · 06/07/2019 17:59

Total non issue

MOB247 · 06/07/2019 18:02

This is a pic taken out of my upstairs. It's a bit blurry . It also says "fake taxi" all along the back window and on the other side.

I I know it's a non issue and would never say anything in real life but I guess I thought it's a inappropriate car for a father to drive?

What is a dad-appropriate car?

What does fake taxi mean?? Clearly I am so out of date with my slang.

If you want an inappropriate car for a family man story, then I have one...my neighbour with 3 kids under 5 just bought a 2 door Audi when the family car broke down! His wife isn’t impressed. I don’t know why she puts up with him?

Lifecraft · 06/07/2019 18:06

So good I did it twice!!

MWNA · 06/07/2019 18:09

I'd think that was crass and inappropriate to have on a family car. But I wouldn't be surprised - people can be vulgar.

PooWillyBumBum · 06/07/2019 18:10

I googled it and it’s some sort of porn website apparently. I’m not sure I’d be bothered...but what an ugly car. Looks like something you’d expect a teenager to drive.

PancakeAndKeith · 06/07/2019 18:11

The spoiler looks pathetic and the stick figures are poor taste but not anything I’d get upset about.

Sandsnake · 06/07/2019 18:14

What does fake taxi mean? Is it in the context of a fake taxi going around picking up women under false pretences in order to sexually assault them? If so, then the guy’s obviously a massive twat and I’d feel similar to you, OP. If there’s a different meaning then I’d be interested to hear it as I’m stumped!

libbynaughtz26 · 06/07/2019 18:15

Of course it's ridiculous. All you 'cool' people who are saying he has a sense of humour. No. I bet he looks like a right daft prick driving that.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything you can do. Don't give him anymore attention, as clearly that's what he's craving Grin

1CantPickAName · 06/07/2019 18:15

@Lifecraft they are brilliant

shinynewapple · 06/07/2019 18:19

Fake taxi? Eh?

NinjaInFluffyPJs · 06/07/2019 18:19

@Sandsnake it's a porn thing. Usually with London cab. Not someone going around assaulting unsuspecting women.
There are also men in a back seat AFAIK

tttigress · 06/07/2019 18:19

Car looks like s wreck, but not sure what you can do about it.

supersop60 · 06/07/2019 18:21

Mid life crisis.

Baguetteaboutit · 06/07/2019 18:22

It took me far too long to realise that the woman stick figure wasn't trying to pole vault the guy on the floor. Blush
