You know what I hate, I hate when people cover the back of their cars with bumper stickers. What I hate even more than that, is when the bumper stickers are dumb and not worth the time it takes to read them, let alone the risk I take in getting close enough to actually read them.

As we all know, bumper stickers can be very distracting. Not only because they ruin the clean look of a solid-colored car, but because we all wonder what they say and want to get close enough so that we can read them. This of course becomes a dangerous trend because it forces us maintain a balance between tailgating in order to read the sticker and avoiding a collision. Although, we get so close that if anyone were to hit us, we’d be screwed and inevitably hit them.

My favorite are the bumper stickers that are worthless to anyone other than the driver, such as ” I have an honor student at _____ Junior High School”. WHO CARES?  If I wanted to know about your child’s academic excellence, I would ask. However, you’re the only one who actually cares; so why don’t you put the bumper sticker INSIDE the car so that you can read it and smile rather than outside where people endanger both their lives and the lives of others only to find that the sticker on the back of your car is nothing exciting.

Lastly, what’s the deal with people covering the entire back of their cars with them. Not only is this dangerous (because people like me want to read them all), but 9.7 times out of ten every single one is worthless, dumb, and not worth reading.

I will give props to the very few people who have had genuinely humorous bumper stickers that were worth reading, which are few and far between as well as still ugly.
