I have a sign on board that mine says 'beware of the tosser behind me'

ilovemydogandMrObama · 11/02/2009 20:38

There was a bumper sticker craze in the US.

It was popular to have a: 'I heart my wife'

Then it all got a bit sick: I my wife

oneyummymummy · 11/02/2009 20:39

I dont have one so tht people dont tailgate me...I have one because I wanted one! I really dont care whether the person behind me likes it or not...its just stating a fact!
More fool them for getting wound up by it, I drive on happily.....

elportodelgato · 11/02/2009 20:40

saw a variation on my road today - "ex-wife in boot"

JentlyDoesIt · 11/02/2009 20:44

I don't drive but DP doesn't like them, he isn't going to drive any differently if there is a child on board or not.

However, we did see a great bumper sticker that said "My other ride's your daughter"

pippibluestocking · 11/02/2009 20:46

If they were to be if any use to emergency services, people would have to remove them every time that thieir "little princess" wasn't on baord, which of course no-one does, so I very much doubt if ES take much notice of them TBH. Would be interesting to hear from any ES staff / spouse of ES staff here on MN who might be able to tell us

So you've managed to breed. Big deal. Even

monkeys can work out which hole to put it

in. And they don't go around making such a

fuss about it.

SugarBird · 11/02/2009 21:02

I agree with JentlyDoesIt's DP. Why would someone drive carefully when there's a vehicle with a baby in it but not around vehicles with older kids or adults on board? Don't get it and loathe all of these signs.

Thunderduck · 11/02/2009 21:04

I hate these stickers. Any variation of them and they are completely pointless.

Sassybeast · 11/02/2009 21:06

I heard an argument once on another parenting forum that they should be banned for being offensive to those struggling to conceive, in a 'Look at meeeeee I'm fertile' kinda way. I'm still not sure if the poster was serious (I think they were)

Thunderduck · 11/02/2009 21:06

I think the emergency services thing is nonsense. Now in a car wreck what are you most likely to see? A 3 or 4 foot child? A baby seat or a 4 inch sticker? Considering that the rear is often so badly damaged, the screen could be smashed, rear crumpled etc that the last thing anyone will be able to see is a sticker.

Nightcrawly · 11/02/2009 21:15

I want one that says "PFB on Board, in safest car seat on the market, fed only on organic lentils and breastmilk, BLW naturally, never even seen a frootshoot, sausage roll or a TV, incidentally G&T and dressed only in unbleached organic cotton babygro and reusuable nappy. So don't get too fucking close, alright?"

TheSmallClanger · 11/02/2009 21:23

I don't like anything with "Little Princess" on it.

Thunderduck · 11/02/2009 21:24

Neither do I Clanger. It makes me want to vomit whether it's on one of those bloody stickers or on a t-shirt.

CrushWithEyeliner · 11/02/2009 21:26

dunno about chavvy but they are rather pathetic imo

giraffescantdancethetango · 11/02/2009 21:27

LOL at bus

Divineintervention · 11/02/2009 21:27

Anything with Little princess, Angel, Daddy's girl, Mummy's boy, little Monster, Little devil....all pretty vile in my book. However I saw a baby wearing a Give peas a chance tee and thought it was cute.
Why is it that all girl's things have postive stuff and boys have 'naughty'?

TheDrunkard2009 · 11/02/2009 21:29

Maybe they are expecting us to

police escort their 'Little Princes and

princesses'

FairLadyRandySlut · 11/02/2009 21:38

wily ...tbh..I don't think those signs make any difference to ther drivers..the irresponsibl idiots don't care anyway and the rest will behave responsible anyway...

but I get the chav point made on this thread....everythings seems to be chav right now, tbh...

sarahsissorhands · 12/02/2009 09:12

SNOBS! Why does it even bother you?

Another mother decides to buy a sign for her car, and you lot get wound up by it.

So now chav expands to women/men with signs on thier cars? But only if they contain things that might mean that a mother is proud and 'smug' about her children, why, do you feel threatened by it?

MouseMate · 12/02/2009 09:20

So what do you do when your DD, who is crazy for all things 'Princess' (gawd help me) asks for one?

Do I say no and upset her just because other people may judge me......?

Or get her one and say a resounding fuck off to those who judge me........?

mm22bys · 12/02/2009 09:24

YANBU, hate them....

mayorquimby · 12/02/2009 10:30

yanbu.
am i the only one who hates all "baby on board" signs though?
they do make me see red.

MorrisZapp · 12/02/2009 11:54

There's a souped up pink 'babe' type car near me with the words 'who is she' stuck in large letters across the rear windsreen.

Is this a reference to the banshee Nikki from Big Brother? Does anybody know? Is it some kind of street lingo or something?

Sheeta · 12/02/2009 13:34

I saw a pole dancer on board one. urgh.
