Crazy Bumper Stickers.

[Sam Gamgee]

I spotted this yesterday on my drive home from work. Thought it was hilarious, but also kept wondering... "Who does that?!?

They say everything is bigger in Texas. Now I have my doubts...

I have a friend that would say he was hung like a kitten. That way the ladies would get a pleasant surprise
Or something to that effect.

Bumper stickers are just one of the many ways that people preach to their own choirs and tick off opponents, and feel like they've accomplished something. It's really about a narcissistic need to be seen as part of a group.

Or at least that accounts for 99% of them... But then there's this. Don't know what to make of this.

Well said. As for this particular example, I'm thinking somebody lost a bet.

That's me: I don't know what to make of it. I don't know if it's a joke or part of this new crop of males that celebrate themselves for some particular bent (MIGTOW, Incel, et al - there is apparently a large number of them, and possibly one for guys with smaller penises). The guy was driving pretty aggressively, which to me is often a good indicator of other tendencies and personality traits.

Up till yesterday, the best one I saw was from many years ago. On the back window of some dude's (beat up) car was: MILITANT AGNOSTIC: I DON'T KNOW AND YOU DON'T EITHER. This guy was gripping the wheel like he was choking a bear and staring straight ahead intently. Made me think what a handful he must be at parties or in casual conversation. I mean, who thinks so much of his own agnosticism that he has to announce it to the world? What true agnostic would even dwell on it that much?

There is a guy around where I live with an old beat-up minivan. He's got the whole THE END IS NEAR! message painted all over the thing. Bible verses, calls to repent, impending doom, etc. It's pretty wild. I've seen a few of these over the years, and they are always beat up vehicles that are a total mess (another strong indicator of other personality traits). Always makes me think of how odd the conversation must be when he pulls up to get an oil change.

Here is the one I have on my truck. If you know, you know.

My wife was thinking the guy might not even know it was on there. We put a sticker on a friend's truck years ago that it took him a while to find. If she is right, it's even more funny.

I sometimes think this about personalized license plates. They are usual celebratory in some way (i.e. what college the person attended, what he does for a living, etc.). Those stickers announcing to everyone where one went to college often strike me as pretentious.

Some stickers are hilarious, and some are for our self-improvement. The person driving the vehicle of the self-improvement sticker are the sole judge of what is right. I like funny ones, but the self-improvement ones are a pain in the keister.

I’ve been a lawyer for forty years now, and my advice is never tint your windows and don’t have custom license plates and never have any stickers on your vehicle. Leave your vehicle exactly as if left the factory.

The worst possibility is you attract the attention of some crazy out there, and you don’t want to meet them, I promise.

The most routine thing that happens is your vanity attracts the attention of a traffic cop.

You don’t want to meet them either, I promise.

This is interesting. Help me understand not having tinted windows, though. I get the license plate and stickers, because they are often political and inflammatory.

Not a bumper sticker, but if you walked into my office you’d never see my diploma. It’s behind the door. Only reason it’s not in the trash is my mother thinks it’s important. So behind the door it stays. Out of sight.

man reminds when I see a vehicle covered in stickers I think that person is a bit of an ash hole. I can agree with everything on their vehicle 100 percent and still think. Oh you're one of those people that confuses everyone knowing your opinions or interests with oxygen.

Years ago we went on a family holiday to LA, there were stories in the UK press at the time about this new phenomena called “road rage”, and how some US drivers were taking the rage to deadly extremes; my dad would announce each article of the latest event at the dinner table, normally followed by, ‘That’s where we’re going.’

I remember one memorable bumper sticker, I can still recall it some 30+ years later that read “Cover me, I’m changing lanes”.

I've never had a bumper sticker or window decal on any cars that I've ever owned. And I'm 60.
The only bumper sticker I would ever put on my car, and I'd do it in an instant if I could get one:
Excelsior, Fathead!

 

[woodsroad]

OK, I just ordered a custom "Excelsior, Fathead!" bumper sticker.
Thank you for motivating me!
