Why would anyone think it's ok to....
put a bumper sticker on another person's car?

I found a sticker on my car today that I didn't put there. While it was for one of the Democratic candidates, it wasn't for the candidate I support.

Also, they put it over my "George W. Bush for Ex-President 2004" sticker... and I *LIKE* that sticker!

Folks, you wanna make a statement, make it on your own car, and leave my car and my stickers alone!

1. Very Tacky
Edited on Mon Feb-02-04 12:52 PM by SoCalDem
to cover a sticker you paid for with one of their candidate's.. They should have just put it , intact, under the wiper blade.

3. I suggest an adhesive-backed maxi-pad on the bumper of the perpetrator
in "revenge."

Gets the point across.

5. The Person Who Stole My Chrome Darwin-Fish Plaque From My Car...
has the same "I'm-entitled" mentality as the person who put that sticker on your car.

Were you able to save your original sticker without damaging it?

the offending sticker came off w/o doing any damage to my own sticker.

8. Probably the same ones who think it's O.K. to throw blood....
or paint on someone's fur, or to set someone's Hummer on fire.

9. I wonder if they thought
it was a pro * sticker because they didn't catch the "ex"

Not that it makes it right. I don't know why anyone would think it's okay to deface other's property. It's such a freeperish thing to do.

10. It's the same people...
.... who find nothing immature about going to book stores and hiding books regarding subjects they dislike.

12. Boundary violation time!
It's definitely NOT all right for anyone, no matter how closely allied with you or well-intentioned, to decide what you will display on your vehicle.

There's also a real element of hostility in such underhanded moves. Notice that they didn't appeal to you, confront you, etc.

Bad, bad bumper sticker poster!

13. I don't believe in touching the property of others
without permission. I don't want others touching mine without permission, either. Not cool. Joking about it is one thing, but actually defacing the possessions of others is vandalism, and it's asinine.
