I read a lot of science/tech articles online - and I hate it when there is an article about how scientists have used the latest microscope/telescope to image something fantastic - but the article give no pictures of what has been imaged.
Do the articles have more than 1000 words? Car stickers - especially geographical ones.
Just so you've spent a week in Newquay, there's no need to permanently display a Kernow flag in your back windscreen.
Oh, you've been to Australia, aren't you clever, but did you need to buy a big bright yellow "Koalas for 20km" sticker for your car. Is it to make your neighbours jealous that you've spent two weeks in Sydney?
Spanish bulls - not sure how many Spaniards live in the Rhondda Valley but it seems like a suspiciously large number.
And the worst ones, are those who for some unknown reason, have visited a non touristy part of the USA like Montana or Nebraska, and then bring back a fistful of college sports stickers so that they can festoon their 1.6 Focuses with 'Go! Razorbacks/Rattlesnakes/Bearcats'etc.
And apart from geographical stickers, the "look at me, look at me, I've been to Glastonbury" stickers prominently displayed for years after the event really make me think you're a twonk.

And don't forget the "I haven't actually been round the Nurburgring but like to pretend I have" stickers. R8VXF said:
This is Piston Heads ffs, "Speed Matters"!!!
An often misunderstood tagline. "Speed Matters" doesn't mean "we always like to go as fast as possible". It has always had multiple meanings, including "being aware of your speed is important" and "we discuss matters to do with speed". JonRB said:

But still the Glastonbury one annoys me the most, as if the owner of the sticker wants to display that despite them being a middle aged car salesman, they're still down with the kids,because they bought a ticket over the phone and went camping for a few days.
I took the family to Bude last year and didn't feel the need to display to the world my 'I've been to Budemeadows Camping Park' sticker on my car for the next 12 months.
Three things this week;
1) The lady who drove straight at me despite it being my right of way, who then wound her window down and shouted "you idiot, you can see my windscreen is frosted up!!!". The foam from her mouth while her kids carried on playing with their iPads was amazing. I was left utterly speechless.
2) People who brake every time an oncoming vehicle goes past them on a B road...
3) People who you go out for a meal with who say you must tip waiters/waitresses. Hate them.
