One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
These bloody things deeply disturb me too
Seriously. If your bloody pet, or burger/lasagne's comfort and safety means you need to drive everywhere at 20mph, do everyone a favour. Stay the f
k at home. I don't care what you've got 'on board'. Neither does anyone else. (but at least it marks the driver out as someone to avoid like the plague)
This, on the other hand....
....is ironic, rips the piss out of the dozy buggers above, and is properly funny.

No, you're quite right. I thought he was very strange. But unfortunately there isn't a 'Single thing that makes you think 'what a strange person?'' thread! 
More accurately, you should start a "Six or seven things that make you think 'what a strange person'" thread...forzaminardi said:

Probably did it to fund their next meow meow hit.
Irony was that the blades were knackered and I'd been meaning to replace them anyway!

I saw this on the M25 this morning whilst stationary in a long traffic jam. Count the 5 (yes that's right, 5!) hats across the parcel shelf!!! Plus a 'baby on board' sticker plus there was some other little trinket hanging from a sucker on the left of the rear windscreen too. When I crept past later I couldn't help notice they also had a little platic hat hanging from the rear view mirror. WTF?!

It's been mentioned so many times but I have to say it again - anyone who has any variant of a 'Baby on board' sticker should be euthanized for the good of society.
IIRC, they were invented because over in Litigation Central (the USA, that is), "some" (1?2?) babies died after car wrecks, because the rescue crews didn't know they were there. Hence "baby on board" is supposed to be for the use of emergency services in the event of a big crash.Unfortunately, the knobs who buy them now just leave them there all the time - rendering them totally pointless for their original purpose, and presumably wasting thousands of man hours of rescuers time looking for babies which aren't actually on board at all.

I stand corrected, thanks for the link
I'm glad someone beat me to that - but seriously, that's just a daft idea, I'm amazed anyone would even have thought of it!?Imagine if every car accident involving a stickered-car resulted in a search for a 'fired into the distance' baby - that could eat some manpower!
That we should drive differently because children are there is just bonkers anyway. I saw a woman pulled-over recently for driving on her phone. The policeman made a particular effort to highlight that the woman had her daughter (teenage) in the car with her and I really want to say "what the f
k difference does that make?". She could have been driving solo and crashed into other vehicles with kids in them, you're just giving the wrong message completely...Try driving well all the damned time eh?
