What is it with "Tiny Person On Board" rear window stickers??!!

[XmisterIS]

I've just come back from a vist to Tesco's on my way home.

As I was approaching the turn into the car park, a woman in a people carrier pulled out of a side road without looking, directly in front of me, which was quite alarming! (I was on the major road, she was emerging from a minor road and she ran a stop sign to boot).

Anyway, I gave her a toot on the horn (just a toot - not a long drawn-out beep!). She had one of those irritating "Tiny Person On Board" stickers in the back window.

So we both turned into Tescos, I parked up near her; my mind having moved onto more important things; I saw her getting her sprog out of the car; she had clocked me pulling up and she was furious!!!!

Excuse me!!

I ignore her and carry on walking.

EXCUSE ME!!!!
Y'wot?
Can't you see I've got a baby in the car?!
Errr ... yes ... I can see that. (confused).
Hooligan!!
Oh don't be ridiculous! (irritated, but I couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation, so I walked off with her shouting something after me, I forget what exactly, something about I should be ashamed and people like me cause accidents, etc, etc ...).

In all honesty I have no idea what goes through the heads of people like that! Seriously.

She obviously believes she's the most important person in the world bar none & general rules don't apply to her... ignore her

 

[XmisterIS]

I do ignore 'em,they're a pain in the arse!

Oh, for my sinus infection to fully clear up so I can get back on the bikes (one motor, one pedal)!

So much less stressful than driving a car!

Nothing, I expect. You know in The Simpsons, when Homer is told something important, and they show what he's thinking, and it's all 'la, la, la'...

Anyway, she has a baby, so she's much, much more important that anyone else. And she has a nice big modern car, so it doesn't matter how she drives, she and her precious are protected by airbags and crumple zones, and magic aurae of dream-cloud.

You are merely a pleb. Get off the road (yes, even driving, you're scum, you know, because you're not her....)

You are a "soft arse...."

WTF...she and kids are in a steel shell, you are not............


I would have stopped...explained the situation (just check there is a 6 plus year old kid in ear shot in car.....) and tell her that nearly killing a 'father' is not really acceptable...maybe she should check her eye sight...............

The kid will give her some 'questions'.............

One thing I miss about the old hill climbers was the ability to easily lock the fronts up, after a quick check behind a heavy dab of the brakes lets someone else know they just made a mistake without the pre-conceptions & miss interpretations of the horn.

I think Xmister was in his car, from the "toot" and the "parked up near her".

I also think that the "tiny person on board", when fitted, refers to the t**t holding the wheel.

I was behind a car which had a sticker saying "Show dogs in transit" the other day. I ask you!
It worked though, I suppose, as I decided against ramming it from behind and slaughtering the posh beasts!

"I can't drive properly - please take precautions to protect my child because I can't be faffed and alter my driving style accordingly"

.......is simply too big for a sticker

 

[Rhythm Thief]

My favourite sticker along these lines was spotted on the back of a very battered old Land Rover in Wolverhampton. "Back Off - Bastard on Board".

 

[Cubist]

They could all be replaced with a "We can breed, Aren't we f*cking clever" stickers.

It's the "Little Princess On Board" ones that make my blood boil. Oh great, you have delusions that your brat is more imortant than everything else, so I'll choose a different car to drive into the back of.

a dippy friend of my wife has a "caution - blonde thinking" sticker on the back of her people carrier…
