Is it comical or alarming to see a car in front of me yesterday with a local elementary school car pool lane sticker in the front windshield and yet this bumper sticker on the back fender:
Keep honking, I am just reloading.
And is it comical or alarming that my friend Muppet, while in the car pool lane for her son's elementary school yesterday was asked by her son: what does THAT mean after they spotted this bumper sticker on the car in front of her:
If you are going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair.
WOW. So are these bumper stickers honing in on perfect candidates for next year's PTA? OR has someone been drinking too many frothy crassacinos?
Just one more reason teachers should be paid more.
OMG, words fail me!
ReplyDeleteYep. Those are the parents of the kids I teach......
ReplyDeleteWow. Just wow. Is there an NRA division of the PTA? Kathy
ReplyDeletehaha...these are amazing...
ReplyDeleteI've had to explain God made the Irish #1 to my kids.. they wanted to know why they weren't #1
ReplyDeleteI have a Green Day and Jet bumpersticker...
You wouldn't believe some of the t-shirst the parents wear into school for parent teacher conferences. Really. It answers so many questions about the behavior of their children.
ReplyDeleteBe scared.. be very scared!
ReplyDeleteSad fact: People with those bumper stickers are mighty proud of those.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fascinating what statements people elect to make through car art!
ReplyDeleteYep, the Human Race is so "civilized".
ReplyDeleteWhat we teach our kids won't take long to haunt us. And of course, we are also leaving them a Federal debt that they will never be able to pay off either.
I wanna know your friend explained that one away!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a lad, my folks had to explain "Honk if you're horny" after I yelled it in a neighbor's yard.
ReplyDeleteI LOATHE bumper stickers.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to know that you break for animals, or that you're the proud parent of a honor roll student or that you NRA.
And what about the colored ribbon bumper stickers - what the heck do they mean? I've lost track of their meanings. I only remember pink.
About the ass/hair bumper sticker, I'd quickly say the driver likes to ride horses bareback and needs to pull the hair because no reins.
I'll stop. I have more b/c I'm in a mood today.
There are SO MANY things I hate to be forced to explain to my child. Don't even get me started on what's on TV during prime time.
ReplyDeleteI think I've met the children of those parents too.
ReplyDeleteI just keep thinking that at some point, people grow up. or at least project something responsible on the outside.
OMG! People are nuts!
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why parents would put bumper stickers like that on their vehicles. I am definitely not a bumper sticker fan, for some reason those stickers with the family represented by stick people drive me nuts, let alone anything less innocuous!
ReplyDeleteFunny AND alarming. Who are these people?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you're going to see today? "Honk if you're horny," perhaps?
As thelma and louise said, "That's disgustin'"
ReplyDeleteI'm often amazed at what people will post on their cars. I sometimes cringe!
ReplyDeleteI saw one, "Cop Loving Cougar on Board." Yikes, T.M.I.
ReplyDeleteMary
wow. just wow. there are some like that in my work parking lot each morning so I know how you feel
ReplyDeleteI didn't know your kid and my kids went to school together! Next time I see you in the pick-up line I'll be sure to honk!
ReplyDeletejk
Hey, even people in the NRA have kids. THey gots to get them lerned too.
And, how about those hanger-downers in the shape of testacles that men can put on their trailer hitches. Now THAT screams classy.
I saw the riding my ass one on a car parked at an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I was surprised.
ReplyDeleteThat's nothin. I work in a title school. The circus is an endless source of amusement. I have dismissal duty, so I always see the craziest things as the cars roll up to pick up their kids...from bumper stickers to thumping loud bass. But the best was the mom who held up traffic to pick up her kid. She had to get out and open her suicide doors. You know, the ones the go up in the air. The bass was thumpin and the rims were spinnin' and she had her too small halter top on. Everyone just froze as the doors flew up. It was unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hair one! I need to remember that. Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I laughed at both of those? I mean they are soooo tacky and really? Parents? Grow up. But also.....kind of funny. (Shame faced)
ReplyDelete--and a couple good reasons why 'freedom of expression' should not be extended to the pasting of messages on autos.
ReplyDeleteMy personal favorite of any bumper sticker Ihave ever seen...
ReplyDeleteIf God is your copilot move over your doing it wrong...
Oh wait and the eternal question
Do vegetarians eat animal crackers..
I LOVE those
I've seen those ... and worse. I think that people buy them thinking they're funny and don't realize what a statement they make once they put them on their cars!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of an episode of The Golden Girls where slutty Blanche had a bumper sticker that said, "So many men, so little time."
The reloading one is very popular here in Texas...imagine that.
ReplyDeleteThat second one.. I am shocked! lol
ReplyDeleteTeachers should DEFINITELY be paid more.
ReplyDeleteI actually like that last bumper sticker. Just not for my truck. Cause I am a dude, and that would send the WRONG message.
Yikes! What disturbs me more is, these idiots are PARENTS. Those poor kids, what do they hear/witness at home?
ReplyDeleteAnd A to the MEN, teachers should be paid a HELL of a LOT more, 'cause their jobs SUCK. I did it for 2 years and I was like, no thanks, NOT for me! So much more goes into it than just standing for a few hours and "teaching". But that's a whole other show Oprah.
This is why I'm anti bumber sticker.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I in my mis-guided youth, I had some very inappropriate stickers on my motorcycle helmet that I just won't go into here.
They walk among us.... I NEVER cease to be amazed at how stupid people are. Really? Any adult (much less one with kids) thinks that it is okay to slap this on their car? Makes me scared for my kids. How do I explain to them that stupid people suck?
ReplyDeleteClassy.
ReplyDeleteWow!... I'd be careful who I volunteer with at the school carnival...
ReplyDeleteGood GRAVY. Those are the kinds of bumper stickers you laugh about in the store and DON'T buy.
ReplyDeleteThey call themselves parents !!!
ReplyDeleteI agree... Teachers definitely do not get paid enough especially if they are dealing with parents like that & of course the offspring they create. Geez!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the Palinization of the country.
ReplyDeleteMakes me glad I'm a goat.
I'm not a bumper-sticker-kinda girl, but those are fairly comical. How do you explain that last one to a kid though?? Makes me glad that I don't have to... :)
ReplyDeleteI miss the South. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWow.. Some people should be fixed at birth.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad my kids can't read yet! Whew! Those are awful, esp. the 2nd one!
ReplyDeleteKlassy!
ReplyDeleteI am just hoping that these people bought the cars used and couldn't get the sticker off!!!
ReplyDeleteI had one in my life and I taped it into my back window so I could easily remove it. It said:
I'd Rather be Driving a Titleist
(I worked at a golf course)
Oh, yes. Having to explain things like that to your youngster is enough to make a person... resentful.
ReplyDeleteMy own dear children learned to read about the same time a... "gentleman's" club we drove by often on a local freeway, ran a huge digital sign that would trail words across it that changed frequently. "A buck a babe." Is one of the first things I remember being read to me that wasn't from a book.
So proud.
That is craziness! My ride does have it's own stickers, but non like these. Wow. One, for my little Nicholas and One for my little Davony. Nick's says "Caution! Pirate on Board!" and Davony's is just a Roxy Heart I found at a surf shop at the OBX in NC. I also think that it's pretty sad that I havent commented here in like forever! Still big loves to you Jenny Mac!
ReplyDeleteI wish people would just say "No" to bumper stickers.
ReplyDeleteI saw a woman once in the grocery store with 3 small children with a t-shirt that read, Party Like Your Vagina Is On Fire. I wish I was kidding.
ReplyDeleteAlso living in the Deep South, it is commonplace to see the Confederate Flags plastered on the back of pickup truck windows with the special touch of the steel bull balls hanging from the hitch.
Man, I need to move.
Most families have 2 cars. I suggest they use the safer one (with minimal bumper stickers).
ReplyDeleteI saw a truck with the sticker: "Get off my ass, you're not my wife." I got a glance at the guy as we passed him and I thought, "Thank God." ; )
Are you sure you don't live in KY? Did the last one have the golden testicles hanging from the trailer hitch, too?
ReplyDelete....and now you can prank someone by buying magnetic tags with even sillier sayings: http://www.prankplace.com/category.aspx?d=Embarrassing-Fake-Bumper-Stickers&c=31
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd husband is a teacher in high school....ooo boy, the stories he could tell and THEY DO NOT get paid enough.
ReplyDeletebumper stickers, what gives with some of them.
I saw someone driving around in a porche convertible with a license plate cover sign that said, No Kids and Proud of It.
What was that supposed to mean exactly.
Wow, what a sad state of affairs when children have to bear witness to their own parent's idiocy.
ReplyDeleteWhat are they thinking?! And they're surprised their children are weirdos...? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteKids shouldn't be subjected to bumper stickers full stop. The ones that say 'Child on board' just make me want to bash into them more. I mean, who on earth decided that the standard of my driving was based AT ALL on who's in the car in front?

Happy Belated Follow Friday I'm your newest follower. Thanks for following me as well.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteSo I shouldn't put the "God bless our troops...Especially our snipers" sticker on our car??
I'm sorry, but I thought that last one was funny.
ReplyDeletesnort.
I'm 12.
I want one of those bumper stickers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. That did make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteWell, now you know who to avoid inviting for playdates.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the comment above mine!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've always thought that bumper stickers are funny...but usually not on cars!
I'm all for the next funny bumper sticker as the next person but sometimes people go too far.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is just rednecky. But the second one = good Lord! Why would you put something on a bumper sticker that no child should read?
ReplyDeleteAhh role models.
ReplyDeleteBoth funny!
ReplyDeleteI love your posts! They are funny and thought provoking and make my day when i read them!
I know you have a lot of readers and probably don't get to read other new blogs but if you have some time, maybe you would like to visit mine?
It's a wacky, funny blog that would make a 4 year old jealous cause of it's awesomeness...you know you wanna ( i know, it's shameless self promotion, but how else do you get to know people who are into the same shit as me?)

thanks for making me laugh and for the support
Wow! Talk about starting a conversation you don't want to start.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. And as a teacher, yes, you are right!!! We don't get paid enough!!
ReplyDeleteWow. Where does one even FIND something like that?
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, Miss Jenny Mac! Hugs!
And it took me minute to figure out "reloading". GAH I'm slow today.
Yeah, they're somewhat comical. Hahaha! But bumper stickers are dumb and inappropriate almost all of the time.
ReplyDelete*snort*
ReplyDelete<><
YIKES!
ReplyDeleteThis is too true and funny!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better honey!!!
ReplyDeleteLove a good bumper sticker. It is more than midly annoying when drivers behind you get too dangerously close and personal.
ReplyDeleteincredible!
ReplyDeleteyou rock!
Hmmmm......when someone comes up with this stuff, all they are thinking about is the humor. I guess they forget about the innocent eyes that see it too.
ReplyDeleteSo funny that you mentioned this b/c just last week I was picking up my nephew from PRESCHOOL and saw a mom in an SUV with the "If you are going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair" sticker. At least he didn't ask me what it said.... Inappropriate much?
