If you are driving behind someone with stuffed animals displayed in the rear window, it is guaranteed you are late to get to your appointment and they are terrible drivers.

Where's your optimism? The next car you see like that might be freshly stolen, and the driver had nothing to do with putting stuffed animals there.

Re: It Is a Fact
That's raaaacist! So any truth considerations are irrelevant, right? Right?
Re: It Is a Fact
Are you quickly removing the stuffed animals from your car?

Without doubt, the worst drivers in the world are men wearing hats. I've never looked to see how many of them have stuffed animals in the car.

It is a fact the driver should have left for the appointment earlier.

I think you are describing my mother. I am sorry for any inconvenience she put you through.

Re: It Is a Fact
Sorry, it's not the stuffed animals. It's the make/model and year which make all the difference. In Colorado, you're late to your appointment because you pulled in behind a 1980s era Subaru hatchback with a recently rebuilt and upgraded Toro (riding) lawnmower engine, and no matter which route you take, he's in front of you and it's all uphill. You'd think you're urgent appointment was with a wise man, er somethin'.

I didn't even know Ricochet was selling stuffed animals. I'll take a Long Lemur, a Lileks Lizard, and a Robinson Rabbit. Do you need to know the model and make of my car or do they work with any car?

Re: It Is a Fact
I haven't noticed any correlation between stuffed animals in a car and driver dysfunction.
However, a mother of three herding her progeny through a supermarket is vastly more aware of her environment than a single woman on a cell phone.
Lady, I don't want to interrupt, and I do hope and pray that your second cousin's gall bladder surgery is successful, that your neighbor's son finds happiness and fulfillment in the Peace Corps, and that Frank (whoever he is) gets a job in this lousy economy, but could you pull your cart up another three feet so I can get at the blinkin' baby carrots, please?

Re: It Is a Fact
The reason is that they don't want to upset the stuffed animals in the back window.

What if you have stuffed animals in the rear window, but it's because your wife put them there?
Re: It Is a Fact
It's weird. In our strategy meetings, the Troy Turaco, Diane Diamondback and Mollie Monk Seal were the ones we thought would sell the best. Live and learn.

Re: It Is a Fact
Were there numerous bumper stickers all over the back? I find the number of bumper stickers directly correlates with driver incompetence.

Mollie,
I am cheap. I wanted to get the ones that were on the remainder table for half price. Maybe someday I can buy a stuffed animal with better "mugs" than Rob, James, and Peter.

The obscurity of your picks says something. If I were Diane I would be miffed at being the reptile.

Without my looking I am going to guess you are a Californian. I have been out of California for 6 years now and I have discovered that plastering the back of your car with bumper stickers is largely, mercifully confined to the Golden State.

I have also found that a handicapped parking placard hanging from the rear view mirror, or handicapped plates, are a fairly reliable indicator that the driver in the vehicle is likely to be a very poor and very slow driver.

Re: It Is a Fact
I don't know about the stuffed animals, were they from the Washington DC area. I have found that DC drivers to be exceptionally bad.
