Mean people suck.
I saw one of theose “baby on board” signs when I was driving yesterday. I don’t really get it. I mean, do you really think that the people you need to watch out for on the road, the crazy drivers, are reading your car? It’s not like some going to be zooming to an intersection trying to beat the yellow light and looking up – “hey, that person has a ‘baby on board’ sign. I better slow down and obey the speed limit.”
People put all kinds of crazy things on their cars. I did. I had a “mean people suck” sticker. I really and truly believe that mean people do indeed suck. But after a while I realized that it’s not something I want to declare on my car as I’m driving to work every day. It was way, way too much pressure, you know, because you can’t be mean if you have that sticker on your car. Then you’d just be saying “I suck.” So you have to be like this ultra-considerate driver and it just wasn’t working out all that well in rush hour traffic.
One of the most bizarre things I’ve seen on cars is that “WOW” sticker. WOW for “Whip’em Out Wednesday.” When women see it on Wednesdays they are supposed to flash the person driving the vehicle. I guess it doesn’t surprise me that guys put those stickers on their cars, but are they really thinking it’s going to work? I guess some guys will do anything for the slightest chance that they might someday see boobs.
These days I don’t put anything on my car — no social comments, no political statements, nothing. That’s what my blog is for.
