Based on the scratches on the guys bumper, perhaps the thing should say "so many tiny parking spaces, so little time."

I use an extremely heavy handled umbrella. And since luckily, the only cars I've ever had to use it on have been BMWs driven by cell phone yammering bimbos, I haven't been too worried about them kicking my ass. (OK, there was that one guy in that huge Ford pickup, but he didn't look the type to kick a small angry female's ass, particularly since he had clearly almost run her over).

How do you know this bumper sticker refers to running over pedestrians? It could refer to pulling up alongside them and asking them out for a romantic evening.

I hate bumperstickers. They are ineffectual and nearly always ridiculous.

I used to carry around a frozen bottle of water in a canvas sack to hit cars that cut me off in crosswalks when I had the right away. But now that everyone is crazy and I don't want to be shot, I stopped thwackin' cars. But if I saw this vehicle parked somewhere I might go back to my old tricks and thwack it for old time sake. Then again, meh, probably the reaction this driver is looking for.

I agree sometimes pedestrians fail to watch where they're going. I also had a yuppie walk out into traffic from behind a parked car and came within about six inches of actually walking into my scooter as I drove past. I mean, it's a scooter, but it's a big heavy old one and I'm sure it would have hurt if I'd hit him. But since I also occasionally do inexplicably stupid things without thinking, I can't bust his chops too much. But this dude's car is begging to be keyed.

@Mamcart: I did something similar on my motorcycle. Years ago, crossing Fillmore on Pine (the oh-so-nicely timed street). Had this simp crossing the street. Not sure if he was a yuppie or of the more-funky-than-you-but-still-mainstream, but in any case, he was doing a pretty good job of looking cool while he lethargically crossed against traffic and without a noticeable headcheck towards oncoming traffic. Men also have menstrual cycles and I was on the rag, so I passed within probably 18 inches of the guy (on the back side) and then punitively honked my dual 118 db horns on my motorcycle. Look on his face: priceless. Stain on his pants: potentially multicolored (at least yellow and maybe brown). -Humbert

Isn't this why so many families, yuppies etc have two cars? Each time there is a direct hit and the hood gets dented, you use the other car during repairs?

Ha! And no, I don't drive or own a car. And since Muni's a mess, I'm pretty much always a pedestrian. Face it, we've got a few too many entitled idiot pedestrians in this town. In fact, I was in a taxi the other day when some idiot frat boy tried crossing against the light--and there was quite a bit of traffic. My cab driver stopped at the last second and honked his horn pretty much in the guy's face. Shocked the living hell out of the frat boy--his expression was priceless. As the cabbie put it, "I haven't done my job unless I've made them shit themselves." Being pro-education (even of the tough-love kind), I gave him a good tip.

I always wanted a bumper sticker that said "ONE LESS BIKE" - but I'd never put it on my car. The crazy bike-people have no sense of humor.

Replace "pedestrians" with "cyclists" and this bumper sticker would be worthwhile.

one word: douchebag btw: you can make out the license plate from the reflection on the bumper - tee hee!

Why mask the license plate? C'mon, someone who displays such a bumpersticker surely has the courage of their opinon and won't mind his plate to be public.

Hey, thats probably the guy that a few years back gunned his engine while running a red light and nearly ran me down while crossing the street on Market St.
