A few years ago everybody at our company who's surname started between A-G got some random email only met for one person. It must have been a fair few thousand people. 24 hours later there was still emails flying around, "I don't think this was meant for me", "Please remove me from this thread", "Can everyone please stop replying to all", "Was I supposed to receive this email?", "Hi, I think you've got the wrong Brian", "EVERYBODY, STOP REPLYING TO ALL", "I don't understand what this email means?", "I don't think we should reply to all" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 The 50 year old woman in my office, who never had children herself, giving me patronising baby advise, especially when I never ask her for it. This morning she asked me if my 5 month old is on solids yet. I said he isn't. My wife's all over this kind of thing - she reads books, she's on baby forums, she goes to classes, she has plenty of friends with babies. It's all in hand, we're prepared. But no, this woman smirks and rolls her eyes at all that nonsense, she says he should be eating solid foods by now. She knows best because she has a niece who was eating chocolate when she was 4 months old in 1994. Oh really!? Wow thanks for that. I'll go home tonight and shove a crunchie down his gob. If my wife asks what the hell I'm doing I'll just tell her Karen from accounts said it's fine. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hear someone is called Karen I automatically know there's a good chance they're a right pain in the bum. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another, easy, cheap identifier for the emergency services, who, in some horrible cases, can speed up identifying who might need help quicker. It's also a reason the emergency services hate all the "comedy" ones like "Princess on board", when really it's a 4/10 21 year old from Coventry.

Ok, I take your point, it might be helpful in some cases. I also don't think you can see a sticker from 20m away, and when emergency services get there they asses the situation and help those in biggest need - just because you are a child does not mean you will be prioritised right away. Also, they are mostly put on windows which often go in a collision which kind of defeats the point. From my experience, it's not used as a tool to assist in case of emergency, it is used alongside the hello kitty window shields in a car driven by a 4/10 21 year old from Coventry. Those same people like to bombard the social media with the picture of their baby. I guess that's what pisses me off that shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistics say that in any sort of accident, children a more likely to die than other people. Hence why the stickers are there. If the windows get blown out and you can't see the sticker, then in that situation, yes you're right, it's useless. But in a situation where those things don't happen, it *can* help emergency teams assess who might need help quicker. It might only work 1 in 1000 situations, but that's still 1 life saved - ergo, it's worth it. Your second point is something that is annoying, so I agree.

Popular Post wilko154 Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 Anyone know what I can use to remove a sticker from my back windscreen?

Sure, you can argue that any parent can make a car 'a little bit safer' and improve the chances by 0.1 of a percent. If it helps one child in a million it's worth it. I just feel that 'Little princess on board' is not meant to do that, it's used by the 'child adoration' movement within some parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
