I don't see why they're any worse than anything else hanging from the mirror.

What are they meant to "say" about the driver though? I understand stupid teddies and religious artefacts and air fresheners but weapons of pugilistic relief?

What's wrong with a nice magic tree?

Or even better, one of those air fresheners that look like little wooden pieces of fruit?

For the sake of simplicity, we should just agree that anyone with anything hanging from their mirror is probably

After all, who needs to see where they're going - that's what the satnav's for.

That fact that they get in the way, they look stupid, and if you kept your car interior clean you wouldn't need it anyway. hehe

Are there any PHers with the mini boxing gloves who wish to attempt to justify their choice of interior ornament?

C'mon, out with it.

I don't think I have even had anything hanging from my rvm, I even take the EuroTunnel ones off as soon as I have entered the train.

Pet hate of mine, not sure why.

And they stink!! Why mask an existing bad smell with another smell? This is like people who have bad breath so they chew gum. They used to smell of halitosis or cigarettes but now they chew gum they stink of mint, which is almost as bad. Or fragrant soap - what's the point of that? I wash my hands to get rid of dirt and smells, I don't want the soap to put a smell on me!!

Not to mention the fact that a top stylist at the car company spent months carefully designing the interior of the car to look good, and then some idiot hangs a cardboard tree in it! It's the equivalent of a girl paying a top London hair salon to style her hair, and then putting a pair of cheap dangly hoop earings in.

Bad taste - bad smell - bad idea.

Same here. Most of them seem to have lost their fragrance anyhow, so serve no purpose other than being dangerous.

It might be a height thing...I'm pretty lofty so dangly crap obscures more important things than if I was shorter?

I'm note sure if this is going to makes me more or less of a pikey cwnt...

...but I was seeing with a lovely lady that had boxing gloves hanging off her mirror.

Just to furnish your type casting even more she had: fake boobs, kids by more than one farther and a whole host of scribble skin decals, but by god was she mental naughty!!!

Personally I want nothing to be swinging in the breeze to distract me when I am driving, driving requires 100% attention.(In my humble opinion).

I'll bite.

I have a pair hanging from my rear-view mirror, they are an air-freshener apparently. They were a gift from my Father-In-Law's wife, so I did the right thing and used them. They are not what I would normally use.

Am I a pikey? frown
