Edit: What do you judge them for?

    Any kind of of bumper sticker collection on the trunk(boot) lid.

    One sticker with a snarky or clever saying is fine, but I do instantly judge anyone with a collage as a tacky person with poor taste and no sense of boundaries.

    It matters not if I tend to agree with the advertised messages, it’s just a huge red flag to me.

        Bags are very different to me than cars for some reason. They are more personal, perhaps, as one can usually see the person and the busy bag together.

        Thinking about it, perhaps I see bumper stickers as impersonal and maybe even agressive (probably passive-aggressive even). A cute frog or two is vastly different to me than a collage of political sayings and it hardly matters if I happen to agree with the particular statements.

        Maybe it’s a matter of taste or perhaps I feel disdain because it looks like political activity but is actually utterly worthless at changing minds?

      I also think a collage of bumper stickers looks tacky. I wouldn’t condemn it in such strong terms as you used, however.
