i hate those stick figure family stickers
i have never really liked the whole car sticker trend. first it was the calvin-peeing-on-everything and the “mean people suck” stickers, and it didn’t end there. for the last year or so, the “stick figure family” sticker has grown extremely popular.
yeah, you’ve seen them: stick figures of the dad, mom, son,
daughter, and even the family pet. under each family member it reads “dad”, “mom”, “billy”, “lisa”, “fido”, etc. sometimes they even put the family name above the stick figures (i.e. “the smith family”).
now, i have two major issues with these stickers:
1) the most obvious is that they are ugly and rather large. i mean, come on, they practically take up the whole bottom portion of the back window depending on the size of the family! that could make for dangerous driving conditions.
2) i don’t know about you, but i wouldn’t want total strangers knowing my children’s names– both first and last. that’s giving some creepy old man a helping hand in trying to lure your kids into his van. and what if the creep sees the astrovan parked outside of your house? now he know your kids’ names AND where they live.
and honestly, if you are trying to merge into my lane and you have that
sticker, i’m not letting you over.
