SiG Lady Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Oh, and then there are the totally ridiculous bumper stickers declaring something like "My daughter/son is an honor student at (name of local school)." Criminy, how annoying. However: I also saw (some time later) a bumper sticker that declared something like "My honor student at (name of some local school) can beat YOUR honor student at (competing local school)." Now, I rather liked THAT one. Anyone remember "Baby on Board"...??? God have mercy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sig, The classic was a 70's Ford Courrier with the "Fear This" Windshield sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I found a "blank" ON BOARD sign in a store once (with a line where you could write in your OWN ridiculous topic), and so I would change the topic just about every day. At the time, "Joe Montana On Board" was my default offering to the reading public when I ran out of topic ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSEMARTIN Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I heard one yesterday that always annoys me: It happens to the best of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kframe_mike Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Shit happens Isn't that one of the laws of physics though?I saw a great counter to those stupid "honor student" bumper stickers the other day too.It said "My kid knocked up your honor student".That one made me chuckle a little.-Mike Edited to add this thought:How about those stick figure family bumper stickers.Do they seem like a menu for serial killer to anybody else??

GrumpyOne Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Both "knowwhatamsayin" and "have a good one" drive me into "Grrrrr...!" mode for real. They've GOT to be two of the lamest, stupidest verbal crutches going. But whenever someone sez to me, "Have a nice day!" I say, "I'm workin' on it!" and I inevitably get the deer-in-the-headlights look. Don't people have any imagination??!?!?!! When someone tells me to "Have a nice day", I usually reply with "Don't tell me what to do!" or "No thanks, I have other plans!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The overuse of profanity dilutes the effectiveness of it when it might otherwise be appropriate and deliciously stunning. To hear a continual stream of it reduces it to a meaningless audio blur. One needs to reserve SOME bit of forceful speech for those, uh, moments when 'forceful speech' would vividly make a point. F*^$ing right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 My father (being a plumber for 40 years) brought this one up one time: Hot water heater; If it's already hot, why do you need to heat it? I can just see my dad, with his dry sense of humor.... Customer " My hot water heater doesn't work." Dad "Well, are you putting hot water in it to heat?"
