Yes, I absolutely find the "read a t-shirt" fad to be quite annoying. It really is the same as bumper stickers isn't it?

EX:

"Vote for Pedro", "I am a slut", "Jail bait", "porn star" (parents are you monitoring what your kids buy and wear?), "If you can read this then you are too close", etc etc etc.... The list of asinine and inane readables goes on and on and on......

I actually have had this conversation before at another forum, but as the parent of a little girl it is nearly impossible to find t-shirts for little girls these days (she is 7) that don't have ridiculous and sometimes (like pigglet's example) even disturbing messages on them. Usually referring to the way that girls "should act."

What part of Princess don't you understand? is one that stands out in my mind at the moment. For the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would want to dress their child in these things.

Yes, it is irksome and annoying...bordering on outrageous even. :p

I have about 7 bumper stickers taped to the inside of my back window... all of them blatantly pagan. Among them "Get a taste of religion, lick a witch" "If going to church makes you a christian will going to the garage make you a car" "If only closed minds came with closed mouths"

I like to park my pagan-mobile next to cars with christian trimmings to see how many tracks they will leave me. One day this could get messy. :D I have been doing it for years though and only once have I received a "youre going to hell for your satanic ways" note. Funny... I dont believe in satan. :lol:

It's not the parents wanting to dress there children that way for the most part. Its parents that are to weak to tell their children "no" and then deal with the resulting whining and begging.

And to stay on topic with the OP's original intention for this thread:

My outrage of the day: Professors that cover half a textbooks worth of material in a single test.

I fucking HATE finals.

I get irritated by people with all their damn bumperstickers. Plus I like to read the real socially poignant ones, ie.. Dont blame me I voted for ... Or dont force your ..... on me. So on and so forth, of course the humor I see in it, is 9 times out of 10 they are on some load in the road car with a overweight greaseball driving it.

My favorites are the Pagan ones or the feminist ones, and the woman is like 400 lbs wearing a curtain for clothes and smoking a cigarette, and just jam packed with attitude..

Yeah the t-shirt fad is way worse than bumper stickers now. It says a lot about someone who would wear a shirt that says "bitch" on the front of it in girly letters. Or the guy who wears the "2 in the pink, 1 in the stink" shirt with a popped collar (actually seen this twice at my college).

I don't know why this thread brought up my overall biggest annoyance anything car-related though: why does NO ONE use their turn signal? I live in NC, and I'd say roughly 65-75% of drivers here don't use a turn signal period, in any situation, even with police in plain sight. Then you end up waiting at an intersection for a car to come and then they turn at the last minute and you didn't know they were turning because they didn't have their turn signal on and you just wasted your time. This happens 12 times a day where I live. Is it the same everywhere? And for you bastards who don't use your turn signal: why not? The purpose of a turn signal is to be thoughtful of OTHERS as to what you're doing with your car. No turn signal = you're an asshole in my book.

mixedmedia 12-13-2006 04:58 AM

Oh, I agree with you and this drives me crazy, too.

Other road issues that bug me:

People who use the middle turning lane as a passing lane by speeding through them to get in front of cars rather than waiting for the opportunity to enter the traffic flow. They do this in front of my apartment complex all the time when I'm trying to turn into it. There will be a car in the middle lane speeding up to get in front of me rather than let me in and take my spot on the road. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

People who refuse to let you merge when entering the interstate and it is backed up with traffic. You're not going anywhere people! What does it hurt to let a car in front of you?!! Which leads into my more generalized annoyance with people who seem to think they are losing something if they allow someone to enter traffic in front of them, whether it is merging or passing. It drives me crazy. I don't understand it.

Well, I'm all the way down in SC lasereth, but the problem is still persistant. i was just thinking the exact same thing yesterday - combined with the 'i must be drunk because i'm driving 15 under the limit, and no - i'm not 90' drivers i've been running into. what really irks me is when you're across the intersection from someone, they don't have their blinker on, and are secretly turning left, as your scenario above. you're waiting to turn left, with blinker, they're waiting....and for some reason, they really want you to go first. they're close enough that you can read facial expressions...and they look like they're about to shit themselves in agony over your idiocy and stubborness for not pulling out. fuckers.

I must say, you win this thread. :)

I love bumper stickers are blatantly there to mock the serious bumper stickers out there. Religious based ones happen to be my all time favorite for the 'knife in the stomach' responses.

Also Lady Sage, I thought you'd find this one funny.

Click :)

Lady Sage 12-13-2006 05:38 AM

I have that one too. :)

Bwahaha! I love this one--a friend of mine has it, I nearly choked laughing when I first saw it! :lol:

I saw this bumper sticker on Friday parked in the lot of my daughter's daycare center. It had a few of the common Wicca-type stickers on it and then this one...which made me laugh out loud in the parking lot...so I thought I'd share it.

I was given my first key scratch just a few days after I put "The Road to Hell is Paved with Republicans" on my car.
