[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a numerous stickers/ magnets. It started with rec sports and swim team. Then HS and HS sports, now college.

I why people place professional sports, location names (e.g. OBX), or even political magnets on their cars.

FWIW- I have had multiple interactions with strangers due to the car magnets. DC was with some other students when they had a car accident on the way to school. Three parents, one current and two alumni parents stopped to offer assistance. A few months ago, a woman stopped to ask me some questions about the school, she had one on her car also that was given to her by her nephew. Nothing life altering, but it does signal a community. Any right now I am grateful to anything that builds a community.

This is a good point. A few mornings ago I was taking my daughter to school. It was one of the mornings it was raining pretty hard but I noticed a car with our school sticker on the side of the road and it looked like an accident had occurred. We noticed it was a student by themselves so we circled back to make sure everything was okay. They were pretty shaken up and seemed relieved to have another friendly supportive community member during that time. I remember my first accident in high school and it was important to be there. We were late to school that morning and it didn’t matter. The family later called and thanked us for being there in the moment. I can assure you we would not have stopped if we didn’t see the sticker. [/quote]

So you wouldn’t have stopped if the student didn’t have a sticker? I find that quite disturbing. [/quote]
