AIBU?

To be offended by these stickers on the back of a van?

So I was on a day trip with a friend yesterday and this van was up ahead of us in the traffic.
I’m no prude, but I think these are really offensive (you may need to zoom in)
Is it even legal to drive around like this?

I mean yeah it’s offensive but I can’t imagine getting worked up about it.

It’s nice when you get a clear warning that you’re dealing with a dickhead.

They are foully misogynistic, and the ‘fake taxi’ one is particularly chilling.

My thoughts exactly.

Now that phrase alone would make a great sticker!

Of course it's legal OP, people are allowed to be rude even if you don't like it.

Haven't looked at them close up to read, but I'd be concerned they couldn't see out the rear window using the mirror.

Well it’s definitely not my sense of humour. Not entirely sure what you can do about it though.

I wish more men's red flags were this obvious. At least 99% of women know to stay away from this dickhead!

Horrible. Imagine the moronic mentality in that van.

Fake Taxi is a popular porn site and that’s its logo.

Agree with PPs that it helps to have the dickheads so easily identifiable!

I can't get too worked up about it.

The owner is clearly a prat, with appalling taste (in cars as well as humour), and someone to avoid. So avoid them.

There are a lot of prats in the world. I'd be exhausted if I let them all upset me.

I mean on the plus side at least it tells you exactly the type of person they are.

The driver is a dickhead. You’re going to meet them from time to time. At least this one has clearly announced it.

Of course it's legal OP, people are allowed to be rude even if you don't like it.

Maybe with the legal thing op meant the fact that there are so many they’re obscuring the view out of the back window?
But yeah the stickers are gross. I would think ick and then move on with life though.

I don’t even have a rear window in my van, be a bit stuffed if I tried to look out of it with a mirror! It’s not a crime to not to have use of a rear view mirror.

You're not unreasonable, you can choose to be offended if you like.

It hasn’t upset me, but it’s not nice for kids/young adults to see.
They’re all vile…no fat chicks/nudes/bitches/horrible image of a fat dick dripping semen top right…surely this is offensive to display in public?

@RosaMoline have you not been in a car since 1975? It's hardly a new or rare thing?

You just know it's being driven by a middle aged man who isn't getting any! It's so embarrassing (for him)

I followed a woman in a similarly bedecked car recently but it was all declarations of how much she liked cock and how big her tits were and shit jokes about good rides.

My passengers were all under 10 and asked a lot of questions. The ultimate answer was probably "patriarchy" but I think I gave a watered down version of "she's a wazzock".

I would be tempted to sent it, especially given its got a regular number, to the traffic police. Let them deal with it.

On the other hand, I like that fact that it's clear thus guy is an absolute twat and I would be able to avoid him.

I’m 57 and that’s the first time I’ve seen obscene stickers on a rear window! It can’t be that commonplace, surely?!

Apparently all that women hate is fine.

If he had a sticker saying ‘support women only spaces’ he’d probably be pulled over by the police.
