They say never judge a book by its cover, but... like ... isn't that what cover art and descriptions are literally for?

To allow you to judge that book by its cover?


Reddit user crazythumper7 asked :

"What can someone put on their car that makes you know immediately that they’re a douchebag?"

And listen, I know what we were all told, but adding stuff to your car is communicating extra data and what is the purpose of data if not to analyze?

And isn't judgment part of analysis?

And don't people put stuff on their cars like this???

Calvin's Degrading Competitors

"A 'Calvin pissing on rival brand's logo' sticker."

- GrumpyCatStevens

"I once saw a ford with Calvin pissing on a Chevy sticker pull up next to a Chevy with a Calvin pissing on a ford sticker at a stop light."

"I was hoping to see some drama but nothing happened."

- lobster-overrun

"Wow, an actual pissing contest between truck guys."

- SpaceCowboy58

"This is the perfect metaphor for American politics. 2 guys, more or less the same, forced into competing identities by corporate interests which want nothing more than to take their money.

- Jasper455

"Do people actually identify that closely with car companies?"

- LeoMarius

"Unfortunately, yes."

- lobster-overrun

"C'mon guys, show dominance."

- Suibian_ni

Truck Testies

"Truck Nuts"

- TheNatanist

"I saw truck nuts on a smart car one time and thought it was the one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen 😂 I’ll make an exception for that person. Otherwise, you’re right."

- archerjones

"If it makes you feel better I had a couple truck nuts when I was an edgy teenager and they were routinely cut off. In hindsight, I think those people were doing me a favor."

- CaptainAwesome06

"One of my friends made a bicycle version, it’s literally two large hardware nuts, glued to a bicycle chain, hung from the back of the bike saddle"

- ChimpskyBRC

"There’s a guy at work that has a blue pair. Really? You can pick any colour and you pick BLUE??"

- Silverslugger24

​Truly Hated

"Yeah, only because he hasn't gone anywhere else yet."

- The_Observatory_

"And nobody knows them anyways"

- MichigaCur

"Not until Mom starts charging rent, anyway."

- Raaazzle

"Not sure which is worse. Either they are actually hated enough for everybody in their city to know who they are and feel the same, or they're wrong and aspire to be hated."

- Phantereal

"Or the way they are proud to be hated."

- CommercialCream402

Advertising

"That ain't a dog, that's a Dawg"

- Pyr02006

- ali693

Play On Words

“ 'Dodge the dad, Ram the daughter'…. On a Dodge Ram. Good stuff."

​More Free Advertisement 

"As a firearms enthusiast I can tell you that anyone who puts any gun related stickers on their car is either a douchebag, an idiot, or both."

"They're trying to look tough and are dumb enough to advertise that they have an expensive hobby, which makes them an immediate target for theft."

"My roommate does exactly this. Again, I love going to the range, I don't advertise it on my car."

- 2centSam

"Thank you! We have such an issue with people getting their vehicles broken into and it’s always, ALWAYS, one of two targets:"

"Dude left it unlocked"

"Dude has an NRA or pro-2A decal some shit like “Try and Take It!!” Plastered on the back window."

"May as well advertise that there’s a good chance an easy score is inside. And this is in the Midwest! You’d think folks would have more sense but 🤷🏼♂️ I dunno…all I know is sh*t like this is why I’m stuck waiting on my new Sig."

- Rusty_is_a_good_boy

"Is it even theft if they tell you to come and take it?"

- Conri

Looking Dumb Too

"Carolina squat....just, just why"

- DeousPascitCorvos

"I didn't know what this was and googled it. Man this is slaughter:"

"It involves lifting a truck's front end and dropping its rear, ostensibly to make it look like a race truck, but only resulting in a vehicle that scoots along like a dog scratching its butt"

- RowdyBunny18

"North Carolinian here, they actually just passed legislation banning this eyesore. Hopefully they get around to enforcing it too."

- GreatWhiteElk

"I had to Google this. Oh man that is the dumbest shot I’ve ever seen. I live in the Northeast and I’ve never seen that before."

- scumbagstaceysEx

The Irony

"Punisher with a thin blue line flag"

- spirit_the_scallion

"Completely ignores the number of cops the Punisher has killed over the years in comics."

- dameon5

"Or the reason why Frank Castle had to become The Punisher in the first place"

"(It was because of corrupt cops.)"

- [Reddit]

"Or the thin blue line flag + a gadsden flag. 'Don’t tread on ME, tread on those other people!!'."

- sluthulhu

"Second this"

- TexanInAlaska

Giphy

Shut Up!

"Those loud as hell muffler exhaust modifications on some piece of crap 4 cylinder you can hear from a half mile away. Usually combined with a comically oversized spoiler."

clawsinyourface

"Also known as Fart Cannons. Makes a Civic sound like a pissed-off lawn mower."

apetnameddingbat

"My daughter calls them 'Tootie cars.'"

cookiesndwichmonster

Hate Them

"Advertising for their MLM."

Miss-Kelli

"It’s always 'consultant.' I love how MLMs have co-opted business languages. To me, a 'consultant' is a highly knowledgeable person in a specific field who’s paid for their expertise (or at least, that’s how it should be). Nobody needs a consultant for shitty candles or essential oils of dubious quality."

jbp84

Bad Energy

"The monster energy logo. Where are they even getting all of them, I see it so often on every douche car, USUALLY trucks bigger than they need."

Aware_Bet

HAHA !!! My s**t head of an ex husband has this !!! He also has a Monster Energy Logo tatted on him 🙄. I need to add he did not have any monster tattoos or decals on his car when we were married. Only after. I didn’t even know he liked energy drinks that much till I saw that one time at a drop. Now it’s all making sense."

REDDIT

Huh??

"A big Tapout sticker."

theflesheatingmuffin

"Tapout is still popular?? Hahaha I thought the whole Affliction/Tapout ship sailed by 2015."

bawzdeepinyaa

"I feel really bad for Tapout as a brand though, they were one of the originals and worked their way up, sponsoring a whole bunch of up and comers. Good trio all around."

dactyif

Not Him

"My friend's neighbor drives a car with big photos of Alex Jones on it, like an advertisement car wrap. His lawn has like 10 infowars signs on it."

Reasonable-Point4891

"I have a personal rule. Whenever I see an Info Wars or Alex Jones sticker on a wall or sign in a public place, I peel it off. I would probably do the same thing to a car. I understand letting people believe what they want, but when those beliefs involve harassing the parents of murdered children, that's where I draw the line."

hectoByte

Not a Cop

"Those ugly a** decals all over their car that say crap like 'POLICE' and 'SHERIFF.' and they have those annoying a** lights on the top."

lkodl

"Worse is when the car is black-on-black with no light bar, making it almost impossible to tell it's a cop until you're right beside them. So you're a douchebag and you're trying to hide and catch more tickets to boost your paycheck. Cool, cool cool cool."

DrMaxwellEdison

Break the Bulbs

"Those freaking bright a** white/blue LED headlights. Crap should be illegal."

CustosEcheveria

"It's more to do with the type of headlight, projectors are made for HID bulbs and are legal because they cut off the beam to stop from blinding oncoming traffic."

"The issue is when people throw the bulbs in their old car with reflector style headlights, you blind everyone on the road. Im pretty sure this is illegal, how enforced though I don't know. The color is another issue, my HIDs were 4500K, nearly perfect white. People throw in 12000K bulbs for some reason and they can't see s**t because they are so blue, still bright for everyone else though."

brohd11

I have a theory...

"Literally any of those stickers that imply they will ride your a** or break check you for doing anything that annoys them."

Practical_Spinach513

"I have a theory that every single decal/sticker that isn’t business-related (regardless of what it says) someone puts on their car automatically increases their douche factor by 10%."

"I think most people are around 10% douchebags (myself included), so 1 or 2 stickers don’t really mean too much to me. It’s when you get into multiple stickers territory that I tend to count them to predict their douche factor. I found it’s a pretty good litmus for douchebaggery."

Debaser626

Yeah... we're all judging you.
