A stranger put a bumper sticker on my car yesterday...
I was at the grocery store, and one look at the rear of my car will surely tell you where I stand on the issues. In the past, I have found little notes on my windshield agreeing or disagreeing with me, but never an addition to the mix.

When I came out with my groceries, I noticed a bright red magnetic peace sign slapped on there, over a faded sticker that said something to the effect of "it's scary when our bombs are smarter than our president"

:D

And because I am such a dork, I felt the need to share my story with you this beautiful Sunday morning.

1. Ah, for a minute I was worried that someone had defaced it or something. :)
That's kinda cool.

4. At least it was magnetic!
I'd be a bit annoyed even at a sympathetic addition to the mix, if I couldn't remove it. But the magnetic factor makes it a nice gift!

6. The magnetic factor is surely a plus....
I'd probably be a little peeved if I couldn't remove it too.

7. Be careful of magnetic bumper stickers
The sun can meld them to your paint.
I had a world peace one on my truck it faded and I am still trying to remove it.
I'll never put another magnet on it again

9. Thanks for the warning....
for this car, I really don't care at this point - it has 180,000 miles on it and I will drive it until it dies.

Absolutely livid if someone stuck a bumper sticker to my car...

Any bumper sticker. I would hunt them down and staple it to their ass.

12. Well
Maybe I got a little carried away there, but...

I have a brand new awesome sports car that was not cheap. It has No bumper stickers on it. If someone felt the need to stick one on it, I would be obligated to let them know how much I appreciated it by stapling it to their ass.

14. I see. My car has 180,000 miles on it, and the rear
is covered in stickers at this point, so I really didn't care.

But I would be really pissed if someone did it to my new care.

11. You know I am a big Giants fan. I was on the biggest Giants message board
and saw this very disturbing thread about liberal bumper stickers.

15. There has always seemed to be plenty of anger/hate on that right wing
it seems to be what fuels them.
