Bumper Sticker Idiots [Disappoint People]

I generally refrain from ranting on here. Not because I don’t have plenty of material on which to rant. But mostly because I get so worked up at the time that it takes too much out of me to do this very often.

Anyway, it’s no secret that I see idiocy all around me, especially when people are behind the wheel. What really interests me is when some idiot stops cold in the fast lane on the highway, is taking up three parking spots, or nearly sideswipes me in changing four lanes at the last moment–and they have a bumper sticker or other group affiliation on their bumper or back window. Really makes me irritated at Obama/Biden, Greenpeace, Texas A&M, or the local middle school.

I know this irritation by association is unfair. But it isn’t unfair when the idiot’s vehicle in question is emblazoned with the name, logo, and contact information for a local company. To wit, on Sunday afternoon, some idiot for a local paving company decided he could circumvent the thirteen cars already in the left hand turn lane by passing them by and making the left hand turn from the center lane, nearly causing an accident.

If the goal of the advertising and the selfishness was to emblazon the company name on my brain. Mission accomplished. If, on the other hand, they had any thought of me ever becoming a customer, extra medium sized fail.
