      I read somewhere that the purpose is to frustrate anyone that is upset with their driving. So let’s say someone cuts you off while driving, if you honk at them, they will pretend that it’s because you are telling them you like pizza. It’s pretty dumb because assuming both understand the intention of the stickler sticker, they both know the real intention of the honk. Basically, the sticker owner is being a preemptive passive-aggressive jerk to further irritate someone else they will offend. That’s why I honk at them even when they haven’t upset me. I’m cutting off their preemptive passive-aggression with preemptive passive-aggression. I’m actually winning so much 😆

        On a tangent but passive aggressive shit confuses the hell out of me. Just COMMUNICATE. My general rule is that if I even suspect someone’s being passive aggressive I’ll just go with what ever they say to do/not do.

        If that pisses them off more, tough shit, they should have just communicated. I’m not gonna risk getting picked up and placed in more shit on the off chance they actually were expecting me to do/not do something.
