Remember that pickup truck with all of the state bumper stickers piled on the back? It belonged to my parents. Many people collected fridge magnets, glass bells, and even spoons from each state they visit. My parents collected bumper stickers. Our truck often reminded me of a suitcase covered in stickers from all of the places the traveler had been.

Nowadays bumper stickers aren't quite so popular. Many people are too worried about ruining the paint job on their car or having their car look tacky. It's too bad. If it were up to me I'd say that everyone should be required to have at least one bumper sticker on their car at all times. Here are my top 10 reasons why you should put a bumper sticker on your car.

Why Get a Bumper Sticker Reasoning #10: Bad Drivers

As a kid, and even now, my mom would yell at the driver who cut her off, ride on her tail, or go before their turn at a four way stop. Problem is the only one hearing her was her kids or the other passengers in the car. If you often find yourself yelling at other drivers why not save yourself the energy and place a bumper sticker on your car instead? The other drivers cannot hear you yelling from your car, unless your windows are rolled down, but they are sure to read the shiny bumper sticker plastered on the back of your car. Some real winners for bumper stickers would include, "Got Blinkers?", "I can only go as fast as the car in front of me.", "Next time wave all your fingers at me.", and "The closer you get...the slower I go".

Excellent example of reverse psychology - and it works! As someone who has spent time and lots of Goo Gone getting bumper sticker goo off my cars (or used ones), I was thinking I wouldn't EVER want to put a bumper sticker on my car...even though I have. However, you gave me new reasons to consider them.
