the stupid logic of people…

  

You know, I had this conversation with Amanda while we were driving yesterday. I don’t quite understand the stupid logic of people and their bumper stickers and signs hanging in their windows… take the following for example:

That is by far probably the dumbest sign to hang in the window of your car. Does it provide some false sense of security to people who put it in the window? I mean honestly people, do you seriously think it does anything for anyone other than your own mental state of delusion?

a) The drivers who are careful, considerate drivers already drive with the proper distance and pay attention to the vehicles around them. They already drive defensively and therefore already don’t want to hit you, baby on board or not. Also keep in mind that those who have a hard time seeing, may just get *CLOSER* to you in order to read your little sign. *NOTHING* in the entire world, especially a little sign in the window is going to help you if one of these drivers gets into an accident with you.

b) The drivers who are aggressive, inconsiderate and would probably just prefer to run you down don’t care about your sign. In fact, it’s more likely to anger them because due to their type-a and somewhat pre-offended personality they feel as though you are talking directly to them and they hate you for it. They are 10 times more likely to tailgate you because of this. Again.. *NOTHING* in the entire world, especially a little sign in the window is going to help you if one of these drivers gets into an accident with you.

So you’ve successfully done what? brought normal drivers closer to your vehicle to read your sign and successfull provoked aggressive drivers. And how does this help your baby?

That is all.
