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

[Kirstie]

I'm afraid I hate the baby on board stickers too. They smack of sanctimonious-ness 'oh look i'm a parent'...and you don't get on board a car, do you? It's not a train FFS!!

Oh I thought it was just me....that's why I have never said anything.

I know what you mean.

I find them the most offensive and naffest inventions.

One of friend's has 'Mommy's Little Angel on Board' in her car, along with all these baby toy things on the back seat. I cringe everytime she visits.

I feel like pointing out it makes her look a a right twat but don't seem to have the guts. Funnily enough, she would have been the last person I thought would've had one ... until she got all babbed up.

It's the kids I feel sorry for ... they grow up believing they are the centre of the known universe ... until they find out that they aren't when they get sacked from job after job. I've seen it happen to adults who started out in life as "Mummy's Little Prince/Princess"!

Even worse, the poor buggers who grow up thinking they really are a Cheeky Little Monkey....

Yep - they're the guys who end up getting punched in the face on a Saturday night ...

They are passive aggressive notes stuck up to ward off those following who drive without having the minimum safe stopping distance.

Hey - I'm making that sound like a bad thing! Where can I get one!

Lol! Quite --- including those who don't have the minimum safe stopping distance because the passive-aggressive driver has pulled straight out infront of said vehicle without feeling the need to check for oncoming traffic!

they really irritate me, those blimmin stickers:

"Baby on Board" Yay! We've managed to reproduce, just like any other amoeba.

"Little princess on board". Sorry kid, you're not a princess, you're not going to marry a prince, you're going to be pregnant at 14 and work in Tesco's, just like your mummy.

"Future England striker on board" Don't you mean "Future chav petty drug dealer and wife beater on board"?

Baby On Board, the Arabic Eye symbol, there are all kinds of jujus that people all over the world stick in their cars to keep them from harm. Lots of people have this one:

I have one of those. It was given to me by a lady at work who is very religious. I put it in the door pocket and on my way home from work that very evening, some twat drove straight into the back of my car while I was waiting at a pedestrian crossing. St Chris didn't think it worth his while to protect me

One of the mysterious ways being to wonder what would have happened if your car hadn't been there. Would the person who ran into you have gone straight across the pedestrian crossing?

I don't think St Chris is that selfish, I think he's there to help all travellers.

Urban Myth according to Snopes

But it is true. A car was found overturned in a ditch on the old A595 Kendal to Windermere road, the woman occupant was taken to hospital unconscious, when she came round the first thing she asked about was her baby. This happened in about 1978.
