Driving home from the grocery store today I spotted an awesome sticker on an old VW Van.
It said Fükenslöwvan. I about died laughing.
Anyone else sew anything memorable lately?

No, I mostly see Let's Go Brandon stickers, Calvin peeing on Biden, deer and antlers and guns, crosses and fish, the occasional Confederate flag, honor students, dance schools, and the rarer Coexist and Darwin stickers. Sometimes a fun Bigfoot. 853 variations of OBX, PCB, Tybee, etc beach vacation stickers.

I used to see this one on my drive home:
Some days I wake up grouchy (in a large font)
Other days I let her sleep. (in a small font)
My favorite is "No one cares about your stick family"

New (to me) funny I saw it on TT then spotted it twice the next day.. My dog says Hi to your dog.
We used to have one on one of our vehicles "The beatings will commence when morale improves" (DH loved that one) We had it when our two oldest were in their pre-teen ages and really fit the situations.. LOL.. FYI.. we did not beat our kids.

Well, my sister has one that says F***KKKKK. Then there was one that my 15 yo grandson and I saw the other day. It said VOTE, but the T was a woman's anatomical part. It led us to an interesting discussion about women's rights.

(in a small font) My favorite is "No one cares about your stick family"Have you seen the one with a T-Rex family that says "Your stick figure family was delicious"?  And then there's "What if the Hokey-Pokey really IS what it's all about?" (oldie but goodie) I'm in the DC area so of course there are a ton of competing political types of stickers, which I will not relate here, and lots of COEXIST. |

When I was a kid there was a parked car that we passed walking to school every day that had one of those “I ❤️ My Dog!” bumper stickers on it. After weeks and weeks of walking past that car, we noticed that one day someone had stuck a sticker with a picture of a screw over the heart and we wondered how long it would take the dog lover person to notice someone altered their sticker!
There also used to be a car I’d see around town once in a while that said “I Support PETA” in big letters and “People Eating Tasty Animals” in tiny letters underneath.
My favorite though wasn’t a bumper sticker at all, it was something someone else wrote in the dust on a back window of someone’s minivan. There was one of those stick people families with a dad, a mom and a whole passel of kids plus some pets on the window. Someone wrote on the window next to it, “Leave her alone already!!!” 🤣

I like the stickers that are a dog and placed over the rear wiper of SUVs.
I haven't seen any cool or funny stickers recently that I recall, mostly because we went back to WFH because of a rodent issue in our building. Fun times and more reinforcement of my opinion that the coworkers down the hall are pigs (we had an ant issue last summer too, just as my group was mandated to return to the office). Thanks to them we won't be having power ring Wednesdays (donuts) anymore.

I saw my favorite bumper sticker of all time many years ago on Hilton Head Island. An electrician’s truck had a sticker that said,
“When I retire, I’m going to move up north and drive slow.”

Sometimes a fun Bigfoot. 853 variations of OBX, PCB, Tybee, etc beach vacation stickers. This reminded me back in 2016. My son bought me a Calvin peeing on trump sticker. Then he actually put it on my car! I wasn't going to even though I loved it. I remember driving down the interstate one day and almost getting sideswiped by a big ole Chev Cadillac. They came very close to me and when they cut back over into the right lane, if I had gone any faster, I would have run into them. They had a trump sticker on the back. When I got home, I took the sticker off. My state is blue in all the maps and algorithms. But it is definitely purple in the more rural areas of Upstate NY and leaning more towards maroon. |

ZeeI will try to explain the "beatings" statement...though it is something to give a smile, not a laugh. It is sort of sarcasm, though not really. If you are being beaten, or threatened with a beating, then your morale would be low. This is sort of a "you have it backwards" statement. Your morale has improved--we better beat that out of you.-- I feel like I am talking in circles trying to explain it, but hopefully I have given you an idea of the off beat humor in the sentence.

I see what you are saying, but still don't see what's amusing about it--I guess I'm just not meant to get it! I'm obviously not the target audience. I will say if I was behind this person, the entire rest of my commute would be spent trying to figure out why this is on a sticker and what exactly that person is trying to say. 🤔 |

We were in California on vacation when my kids were young and we saw a bumper sticker that said, “Sofa King Cool” and it was made to look like an advertisement for a furniture company. I thought it was an interesting slogan and read it out loud. My husband looked over surprised and said, ”What did you just say?” So I repeated it and my kids looked up at me shocked. I kept saying it trying for figure out why they had such shocked faces and my husband finally told me what it sounded like I was saying.
My mom swore at my siblings all the time and I hated it, so my kids have never actually heard me swear and they were all shocked. We still laugh about it.
And I’m not a prude, I like to save all of my profanity for when I’m mad at my husband. 😂😵💫🤪

I live in Florida. I've seen stickers that say, "We don't care how you did it in New York."

I saw one many years ago that said “Where are we going and why are we in this hand basket?” That one remains my favorite.

MorningPerson That's one of my favorites! yivit I once saw someone's back windshield wiper but it was Forrest Gump waving instead of a dog. I will admit that when we got our Subaru, I texted a friend and asked when our coexist sticker appeared on it. FWIW, we have no stickers on our car.

I have a sticker I want to put on my car but I'm so afraid people will not get it or misunderstand. It is a pic of a coffee pot and it says pothead. Coffee is the only drug I do and I drink a looooot of coffee. Jeremy bought me the sticker when we were at a shop in Memphis. I just haven't put it on my car.

I love checking out vehicle stickers and vanity plates. Unfortunately none are coming to mind right now. In my area there are probably more liberal/progressive stickers. But in much of the other parts there are a lot of the ones the Zee mentioned. FJB, Go Brandon, hunting, Calvin’s, etc.
I did see a vehicle the other day that had a big 2nd amendment/Don’t Tread on me on the back window. There was also a rainbow colored sticker of our state. Neither sticker is really out of the ordinary here but you don’t typically see them together on the same car.

I see the same one here everywhere and it’s the Island we live on. Just about every SUV has it. It’s on an angle on the rear windshield and I get so proud when I see it. I always love seeing it.

That's not the saying. It's "The beatings will CONTINUE until morale improves." That certainly makes more sense. apparently I can't type... continue was the word... Frankly it was funny to DH.. I thought it was kinda lame. it was at the time our kids were 10 11 or 12.. and fought all the time. He saw that bumper sticker in SFO while we were on vacation. The funny part was we had barely left for our trip by car. We are all settled in for the epic long drive. Not more than a couple of miles DH pulls over the car and did the parent thing.. 'if you don't stop fighting right now ya'll are walking back home" speech. The rest of the trip was pretty good after that.. lol |

Spent an hour trying to figure out an acronym in a traffic jam once that was on a sticker on the car in front. And then I did 😳
For the record it was DILLIGAF
There’s a “famous” song about it by an infamous “comedic singer”
