I find Baby on Board signs quite annoying.
I find these signs to be completely self-centered and egotistical, and mostly just downright pretentious. "Baby on board"? Yeah? I should bust out my Human on Board sign.
Fuck... you think your baby is more important than everyone else? Should your babies life be valued over and above all other life on the road?
Imagine this... I swerve to avoid someone coming into my lane without checking their blind spot. I check the left of me, before I head into that lane in an emergency fashion... but before doing so, I read the "Baby on Board" sign in the window of the car next to me and think "fuck, I can't crash into that guy... he's got a baby on board!" so I slam on my brakes and wait patiently until I find a vehicle that does not have a baby on board... to safely crash into someone else.
This also seems strange; Are mothers supposed to be safer drivers? You've got a screaming, shitting, pissing, puking baby in the passenger seat. You're hormonal, you've got breast milk squirting out of your tits, and your bra is soaking wet... not to mention you're probably bleeding from your vag and who knows what kind of maniacal bipolar mood you're in while you're behind the wheel... BUT... you want EVERYONE around you to know you've got 'precious cargo' on board so you can drive like a fucking asshole like you're the only one on the road. You know the people I'm talking about... turning right from the left hand lane, ignoring the fact that you almost caused a 30 car pile up, and while she's cutting you off you honk at her for nearly killing you, she's flipping you off. It is not uncommon to see mothers on the road driving literally like they just got their licenses yesterday, with their 6 unbuckled children bouncing around in the back seat of her Suburban... paying more attention to them than the road itself.
Fuck... if you want to put a productive sign on your car, it should read "Inattentive MOTHER on Board!"
I find it along the same lines of stupid as these idiots prancing around with their "God Bless America" flags and "God Bless Other Religious Assholes of Similar Faith". Just self-centered assholes that can't see beyond their noses.
I definitely make sure I don't crash into anyone with a Baby on Board sign. You know, because accidents happen on purpose...
