Why do they irrationally annoy me? Is it anyone else?

I stuck one on my car with my first just because I was so chuffed to have a baby,

And there it is. The real reason people have them. PFB’s.

Yes, I admit, it was my FB. Have baby, will stick cute sign up that caught my eye in the store because just so delighted with new parent status. Nothing more than that.

I like the stick people.

I think they're a bit of fun. Especially when you can see the people in the car behind you counting the kids. Not as much fun when I had to peel one off to replace with an angel figure but still a nice way to include them.

I see them as mildly annoying and possibly false advertising. I don’t like distracting stickers on vehicles. They’re nowhere near as bad as the huge ads plastered on buses, though.

And the force of the crash has blown the car seat and baby out so far down the road we didn’t even see them, but the little plastic sign survived intact…

Stop it! Dave is out here looking because of that plastic sign 😂

Genuinely, why? You hadn't done anything unusual or special? It has been happening for millennia. Why did you think a sucky stick on plastic sign would validate you?

YANBU, I don’t go out in the car like I’m driving a dodgem, I don’t care what’s in your car because I’m not trying to crash mine 😂

I put it on for me, not anyone else. I got all the cutesy things. Novelty of new baby? I don't know. Kind of like what I do for my dogs now with the harnesses with donuts and dinosaurs. It's just a bit of fun for me to enjoy. Anyone else can ignore it because it's not for them anyway.

Ah fuck off, you don't get to sway me with dinosaur outfits for dogs. Oh, wait, you did. Now you've obliged yourself to show photos of the dog in its dino outfit. Don't blame me. You started it. Grin

It's not an outfit, even I have my limits. haha. It's just a print on a harness.

To be fair my dog had a father christmas coat. I did put it on him when it wasn't even that cold just so people would look.

OK, so you get the idea that sometimes these things are just for fun. Which is how I felt about the baby on board sign. I didn't even plan to get one or think about it. Saw it, bought it because it was cute. Nothing more thoughtful than that.

Even longer, since placental mammals have existed for at least 66 million years!

I'm so getting one of these for my Saluki lurcher!

She's a proper diva anyway so we've nicknamed her Mariah Carey. She might as well look like her too 🤣🤣

DupontsYellowDressingGown · 22/10/2023 00:30

And they hamper visibility out of the back windscreen...

Stupid things

SirenSays · 22/10/2023 00:34

They don't bother me at all and while they aren't used by emergency services, most of the time they aren't the first ones on scene, clueless civvies are. Maybe it could help them, maybe not but it's not something I can get my panties in a twist about.

It is from Milgi Coats.

It was my favourite of all the coats he had from them. He's gone now but I still have the coat. I gave the rest away to dog charities but I can't part with this one, yet.

Oh, I'm sorry about Bob. Yes, they bloody break you when they go x

DickJagger · 22/10/2023 00:39

It's been a while now and we have had another since (who we lost too soon from cancer) but Bob was that 'one' dog. The one you can't get over Smile

sweetpeaorchestra · 22/10/2023 00:44

Yes they’ve always annoyed me, as PP’s said it reads like: “more valuable life on board here folks, watch your driving round us”

NewPinkJacket · 22/10/2023 00:48

Well seeing Bob has cheered me right up and put a smile on my face @DickJagger so he's still working his charm Flowers
