If she is gonna stalk your car, then she has deep issues that your removal of a decal will not solve.

I told her let me get back to my office and walked away. I never told this coworker or anyone at work that my child goes to private. The only way she would know is from my vehicle. Just venting. She caught me off guard.

What about all the bumper stickers I see on cars that say "my kid is an honor role student at (name the public school}? Are these people tacky?

I agree. I see more of those public school honor roll magnets than I do private school ones.

Middle class child of immigrants who went to a NE boarding school. My own two kids are going through publics all the way simply because we could not make the same sacrifice my parents made for me.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

But your coworker was rude, regardless.

Then why advertise it on your car?

To create the envy
