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...

Seriously? You're that bothered by it?
Someone has anger and self entitlement issues when it comes to families other than your own.
I do expect others to be more careful around my carload of children and would hurt someone seriously over it if they cut in front of me because of a failed safe passing if I had an infant in the car. Sudden braking, swerving etc can harm their necks. Have some humbleness, would ya? It's just parents making sure others know to make theur traffic maneuvers with extra care to the fact any sudden movement can actually hurt a newborn and at best (most common reasons we use these signs) is to understand stupidy from other drivers can wake up our screaming fit of terror that took 3 hours of driving to get her to stop throwing up and screaming cause she wants "out".
If asking for a bit of respect and extra care from other drivers is selfish to some, then I am really sorry that something so trivial and obvious is such an angering facet of modern society to you "baby-haters". Your being late for a latee is no more important nor less important than someone's kids in a car your about to pass at 160 with oncoming traffic then I guess.
After beating the fuck out of a guy for doing that to us when my son was an infant, I decided it's better to NOT use baby on board signs because I did notice that people do drive crazier around them because non-breeders feel so entitled to make it known that "Your brats are not my concern so why should I change MY ways because you decided top shit out kids".
(*disclaimer: I am not attacking YOU directly, just the mentality of it that many share so when I say "you" above it means in general)
