Reddit user u/Mapleberries recently asked, "What's something people put on their cars that automatically makes you assume the driver is an a-hole?" and people had A LOT to say.
Here are the best replies:
1. "After-market headlights that are absolutely blinding."
2. "The blacked out license plate covers. Whenever I see that tinted sheet over the plate, I avoid that car like the plague. Those people are trying to hide their plates for a reason, and they always drive terribly."
3. "Carolina squat trucks."
4. "Those spikes on their wheels and hubcaps."
5. "This guy at my job has a middle finger flag that says 'F you.' He has, like, 12 of these in various forms and even on his work thermos. Plus, a lot of 'F Your Feelings' stickers. Yet, he is the touchiest, most sensitive baby in the entire joint."
6. "Truck nuts, confederate flags, and punisher skulls."
7. "Fake bullet holes. It’s like they're saying, 'The kind of life I lead just might put me in the line of fire,' except it won't because you know the holes aren't real."
"My first vehicle ever was a beat-up Chevy S10. It had a couple dents in it, so I decided to put those stickers right on the dent. It looked so realistic that it actually got some people asking questions before they saw it up close."
8. "'Salt Life' stickers. Like, you don't live near the ocean — you live in Nebraska."
9. "Those speakers on the OUTSIDE of the car. It’s specifically to be an a-hole."
"Someone made a habit of driving through our neighborhood with music so loud I couldn’t hear my own video or music…with all our windows closed…multiple times…per night."

10. "Social media tags. I once messaged one of those people to inform them they're a terrible driver."
11. "People with 'Baby On Board' stickers always seem to go wayyy over the speed limit."
12. "A sign that says, 'My son just graduated. Send me money at my Venmo.' I legit saw this today."
13. "Any sort of multi-level marketing advertisement."
14. "Trucks that are modified so that they emit big plumes of black smoke on demand."
15. "No muffler. You hear a really loud engine idle at a red light and look over to see a beaten up old car with no muffler pick sticking out. Then, the light turns green, and they blow your eardrums to smithereens."
16. "The 'coexist' stickers. It's not that I don’t agree, but I just know that driver is annoying."
17. "Illegal flashing red and blue lights to look like cops. I don't care if you're tailgating me — I'm already doing 80 in a 65; I am not going any faster. And those lights just make you look silly."
18. "Eyelashes on headlights."
19. "When I'm driving, I automatically assume every driver is terrible."
