I have noticed lately while I'm driving, many stupid things hanging from rearview mirrors. I know people have been doing this for years, such as the fuzzy dice back in the 60’s, but here are 5 of the current day versions that I really think are dumb.
1. The Mardi Gras Beads – These are just plain annoying. No this isn’t New Orleans, we don’t have women lining up on Bourbon Street flashing for beads…….So why do we have to put the beads on the rearview mirror? Another thing that strikes me as odd is a lot of the people driving these cars are old. I am hoping that one of their kids got the beads, because that makes for a bad visual.
2. The Handcuffs – Does this mean that you are a hardened criminal? Or is this to imply some kind of bedside manner. Whatever the case, it makes you look like white trash.
3. The Visor (Hat) – I don’t know why this really bugs me………It just doesn’t make since. Why put a visor around your rear view mirror? If anyone has an answer to this let me know. Does this help block the sun out when you are driving?
4. The Fuzzy Dice - Yes, they have been around forever, but that doesn't make it any better. Two giant dice hanging, flopping around in front of you while you drive. This makes no sense. Looks ugly and distracting.
5. Tree Air Fresheners - You have to have seen this at some point. The tree air fresheners have been selling for years. Yes, I admit I like the smell of some of them, but hanging them on your mirror makes it look like you are driving a beat up pinto. Plus, you for some reason people don't like to throw away when they put a new one up. I have seen 10 of them hanging up in a car at once. Unless it was this way because the smell is so bad? Then you have other problems! If you like the smell, throw one under your seat.
What do you have on your rearview mirror?
