[Closed] Does anything say 'I am a ****' quite like...

Nothing screams homosexual like one of those ^

and there was me thinking that the OP was would be the low point of the thread...

I need one of them for the back of my rover

I need one of them for the back of my rover

I thought they came as standard with the Rover 200/800?

not as bad as a hi viz jacket rolled up as though they are a copper lol

Or still having your Glastonbury car park sticker in your windscreen 😡

I'm with Sancho. The Hi-Vis wannabes are the worst! 🙂

Nothing?

Mind you, you can't see what head-gear he's sporting...

I have the 75!

this is one of those "everyone else is less awesome than me" threads

Nope.
"Tango James" from down the road is tall, handsome, orange-tanned and aggressive.

He used to keep his degree certificate and his karate weaponry (those hinged sticks) on his dashboard.

A beanie shirley?

In winter I often have a pair of work gloves drying on the back shelf, I suppose it says C2 or worse.

A copy of the sun on the dash..

Starting threads like this?

Does anything say 'I am a ****' quite like...

....... a chippy Scouser?

A Tudor watch?

Does anything say 'I am a ****' quite like...

Having one of these on the rear parcelshelf of your car...?

To fair loddrik it's not a question that you need to ask.

You appear to be perfectly able to make yourself look a **** without the need for extra props.

The only hard and fast 'arsehole rule' I know of it when someone tells you "I'm like marmite me, some people love me, some people hate me" they're mistaken, in truth everyone thinks they're an arsehole and half the population is willing to go out of their way to tell them so.

*Applause for MoreCashThanDash!*

😀

Personal number plates say xxxx to me or rally car stickers on an old Subaru

And there was me labouring under the assumption that I was universally liked and respected on STW.

Typical Scouser, then 😉

Yes. In no order:

- Personalised number plates. Give your vanity money to Cancer Research instead.

- Monogrammed shirts.

- People who wear their collars up on ill fitting polo shirts. Only Eric the Red will ever look cool doing this.

- Pale freckly people from the UK with polynesian or australasian inspired tribal tattoos.

Still trying to work out what the **** means. Is it milliner?

I saw a gold and black Bentley with personalised plates the other day. It had a gold and plastic ornamental tissue box on the parcel shelf.

Bolt on norks for the ladies and a flash car for the gent, both say the same thing.

All that hat on the parcel shelf means "Geoffrey Boycott's car" to me...

Not sure I get overly worked up by how people chose to keep the sun off their heads. Did something happen to you to make you feel the need to judge others for trivial items of sun protection?

There is a particular sort of 'chap' who likes to wear one of these with a linen jacket en route to a mediterranean holiday, especially to a desperately middle class destination like a Neilson club or flotilla. Great for people watching - always seem to look a little ill at ease and the first to complain (demanding a seat change on the flight or a room change in the hotel, rude to bar staff etc) - just seem to have an unwarranted sense of entitlement. Wife invariable turns out to have a drink problem and kids are a bit petulant.

My stw is in a judgemental mood today 🙂 any other stereotypes we need to get out. Did you hear the one about the scouse cabbie?

nothing screams " I am trying to protect my balding head from skin cancer" like one of those on the back parcel shelf ....
My farther died of skin cancer, on this bald head, despite actually being quite careful.

So you might like to think about it ....

It's certainly a lot less ****y than a baseball cap .... or a bandana, or a bula hat ...

clearly missing some driving gloves and a pair of ray bans. I would be surprised if a Nürburgring sticker wasn't lurking somewhere Come to think of it any stickers or bolt on external accessories probably fall under that category.

I have one of those, albeit more strawlike and threadbare. It was my Grandfathers. When he died 5 years ago my mother and aunt cleared his house out. They took his clothing to the local charity shop. I asked them for his hat, not knowing it had gone. My aunt returned to the charity shop, finding it still there, and bought it back! Grandad was an avid gardener and, like myself, was happiest outdoor - he nearly always wore a hat of one type or another. This one was his sun hat and he wore it with a blazer.

I have a bald head and burn something terrible. I use his hat because:

1. It helps guard against burn or possible skin cancer
2. It reminds me of my grandfather.

I can't imagine that it looks 'good' on me, it's a little small and I honestly don't know the hat fashion rules anyway.

In the summer I keep it on the back seat of the car, just in case we get a dose of sun and I'm caught out. I guess that makes me a * according to fashionistas? I imagine if such people treat me like a * because I own it then maybe some kind of alpha-male game is being played out? I'm an unwilling contender inasmuch as I'll defend myself but not attack first.

A sign saying private hire on a car.
Fire in the hole.

Was expecting a thread about fatbikes. Disappointed.

Sorry, but is the OP venting about the idea/myth/truth/rumour that this in fact a coded message that says I'm a freemason/ex-cop/Orangeman/lizard to any member of law enforcement who might otherwise pull them for speeding?

Personalised numberplates say: "I'm vain and conceited and also stupid enough to waste money on my conceit".

The other one is the initials monogramme on the driver's door. More of a 70s thing really.

😆

I think I know just who you mean...I'm sure he's already posted in this thread.

Actually, I think I should get one of those. It looks perfect for stopping me getting sunburnt on my balding head.

Any recommendations?

I have one of these:

How'm I doing in the asterix stakes? 😯

You think that's worse than a baseball cap with the initials of a city the wearer has never visited and a team that no player can be named or league position stated??
I find the aforementioned headgear is usually the mark of a 'right weapon' and a fairly decent indication of a lack of intelligence.
