    Sounds like a charmer - did he have a personalised number plate saying "LADEEZMAN" as well?

    Those Tshirts saying 'Barbie is a Slut', 'Dip Me in Chocolate and Feed Me to Lesbians" and anything else along the lines of "Boys Suck" or "No Chance"...

    They are just sad.

    It's not nasty, it's just sad and pathetic really.

    Anyone who has a bumper sticker is a nobhead though. Especially those braindead cunts with baby on board stickers...

    Why would you drive any differently because there was a baby in the car?

    I've seen a few 'babe on board' signs recently, tends to make me cringe. I have a George bush one that I find funny though (although its stuck on my wardrobe not my car). It has a cartoon picture of george bush and the writing "a village in Texas has lost its idiot" love it!

    You wouldn't. Would it help others drive differently around you though? Not drive so far up your hoop for a start.

    "I was going to ram the back of that guy's car but now I see there's a baby on board I think I'll go pick on someone else!"

    I don't think a 'baby on board' sign would make any difference to how people around you would drive - but I've heard their real purpose is for emergency services to look out for a baby in case the car's totalled in a collision so I guess they're not totally useless.

    The other day I was driving to work and was stuck behind a car. It had playboy bunnies on the number plate, and a big sign saying: If I wanted you up my ass, I'd kiss you first.

    Am I alone in finding that tacky and nasty? That sort of thing gives me such a bad first impression of a person.

    Something tells me that the person in the car in front couldn't give a jar of monkey jizm about what kind of first impression they've given you.

    How often do you think to yourself "Yikes! I hope I'm giving a good impression to the driver of that car behind me!!"?

    If your answer is more than zero then YOU HAVE PROBLEMS :hyper:

    A saw a sticker once that said "skanky" I must have missed when that became a compliment and something to be proud of.


    Though *all* bumper stickers are tacky. Nobody reads/follows advice/cares of what they say and it just ruins the resale value of your car.

    Rubbish, do careless drivers really pay attention to them? No, of course not.


    And the idea that they are there so emergency services can know to look for a kid is a bad joke too, do people take them out when there is no kid? No, they just leave them there.

    Do you get strapped in to a canoe?

    It always bothers me, what if you get knocked unconscious (sp?) and can't do that flip thing?!

    I couldn't stand having my legs fastened up like that! x

    Nooo. Open cockpit racing boats all the way! I race on flat (placid) water not whitewater, and therefore don't need a closed cockpit boat. Actually even then you don't get strapped in, the only boat I've been strapped into (scary moment) was a closed cockpit C2 whitewater river racer, where you kneel down and there are straps around your calves.

    Have a look at
    Reading Canoe Club website
    Banbury Canoe Club website
    my website for some pics and info :) [/shameless canoeing promotion!]

    I have a warning sign saying "too many freaks"

    Which sums up road users well.

    I have no other car accessories other than a small sheep which has sentimental value :) hanging from the mirror

    Yes I'm sure she doesn't care what people think of her. But first impressions are important, I mean surely people take their cars to job interviews/weddings/to pick up new boyfriends/all sorts of situations. And something like that sticker makes a lot of people think negatively straight away.
