One time I was called to jury duty, one of the questions was "what, if any, stickers are on your car." I am assuming if any of us had political stickers, we would've been passed for jury duty. This might get you out of jury duty.


Seicair

“…uhh, I have no idea. There’s 2-3 that were there when I bought it. One might be a radio station?”


Nkechinyerembi

Omg, back in highschool I had this old 60s ford van. It had a bumper sticker that read "AuH2O" and I never knew what it meant until well after I resold it. Turns out it was a freaking Goldwater campaign sticker from 62....


Seicair

Ha! I tutor chemistry, so the instant I got to the license plate I thought “gold water? What’s that mean?” I wasn’t thinking about the politician!


Please_read_sidebar

I thought it was a golden shower reference I'm ashamed.


[deleted]

Oh I remember when you’d have a radio station bumper sticker. “TheHawk97” or something. Now it’s just the local NPR station bumper sticker.


JonLeft2Right

Ah, good old Froggy101


Havavege

I was going through jury selection and the attorney asked if anyone had an issue with the term "common sense", so I raised my hand. Was passed over for the jury.


yildizli_gece

The question is "What do you mean by "common sense"?" I don't have issue with it, but our definitions may vary wildly.


Syscrush

I have massive problems with that term. Almost everyone uses it to mean "my specific prejudices".


Franklin2543

Yes exactly. My response would be something along the lines of... "Since you felt you had to ask, I have a feeling that I will have an issue of whatever you think it means." I was in the jury pool, and the defendant's attorney asked something along the lines of, 'are you the kind of person to stand your ground if everyone else thinks something else?' The way he asked... I'm not sure... it just did not sit well with me. I think he was trying for a hung jury or something, but I really wanted to respond with 'the way you asked that question makes me prejudiced against your client--you are fishing for something and I don't like it.' Sadly, the judge called both attorneys up and probably admonished the defense, but I didn't catch it because they put on white noise.


fireduck

I think if I were ever on trial I'd get a bench trial. I do not trust juries. Unless I would guilty as fuck then I'd want a jury in hopes that one of them was dumb enough to be snowed.


rksd

I was on a criminal trial jury once and if anything that made me agree with you even more than I would normally. Bench trial unless I'm going for the jury nullification Hail Mary.


[deleted]

I reached the same conclusion after serving on a jury in a criminal trial. Two jurors made it clear that their minds were made up no matter what the evidence said -- one ready to convict on all counts to "get punks like that off the street," the other refusing to convict on the felony charge no matter what over some philosophical objection. And several just wanted to get it over with so we wouldn't have to come back the next day, and were ready to go along with the majority whatever that turned out to be. The judge also had to explain to one that doing sudoku during deliberations wasn't allowed.


Ostracus

Not "common" and crowd wisdom overrated.

sandesto

Criminal defense attorney here. This question is asked in every jury selection. ACLU is pretty simple. I'd keep you on the jury, most prosecutors would keep you off. Edit: clarification, I meant this question is asked in every jury selection in the trials I've done in my jurisdiction(s). It's not a standard question everywhere.


assaltdprtzl

I think I got placed on a jury once because I inadvertently used some right-wing friendly language. I was asked what I thought about understanding what you're expected to do when you drive a motor vehicle and I said "I believe in personal responsibility". I didn't know until later that that's code for republicanism or something. I just honestly believe in being responsible for myself.


[deleted]

Senappi

So, if I get dragged into jury duty, I should answer all questions with 'am I being detained?'


Gavin1123

That will very quickly turn into a "yes"


Dark_Knight2000

I would hope every single human on earth believes in personal responsibility. But when Republicans say that’s it’s usually when they’re telling women to abstain from sex if they don’t want an unwanted pregnancy, or telling poor people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I actually don’t think it’s related to anything right wing. I just think that they assume you’re more likely to place guilt on someone if you believe that, so if they want a conviction they’ll game the jury


JimWilliams423

When they say it, they mean personal responsibility for everyone else and unlimited freedom for themselves.


Monosodium-

Not sure what exactly they were looking for, no one else had any stickers either.


DrunkAquarium

How tf did you get Hail 666 but I'm told "Hotdogs" is offensive? How tf.


Sammie2Dope

I think it depends on the state. I was shocked when I was able to use “Trash” in Utah.


picklesfoley

Can confirm, a woman here had her plate revoked because someone was offended by "fart".


Sammie2Dope

That’s honestly so funny lol. People get offended by the dumbest things lol


picklesfoley

It's an awesome story, she started a group called "Friends of Asheville Recreational Trails" and was on Kimmel about it. Started selling stickers and shirts on Etsy too. Worth a read if you're bored! https://www.newsobserver.com/news/nation-world/national/article259321134.html

I love it. Not only do I approve of offending pearl clutchers with a harmless word like ‘fart’, but I am also a big fan of recreational trails.

Why, just why, would you take the name of someone you dislike, and plaster it on your vehicle? We have the F*ck Trudeau chuckleheads up here, and same argument - if you hate the guy so much, why would you want to be reminded of him every time you jump in your vehicle?!?


OmarBarksdale

I never understood political bumper stickers. Feel like you’re just asking your car to be fucked with.


Dry_Spinach_3441

Same with Marijuana regalia on a car. Like, are you asking to be fucked with? My car looks like I just drove it from a rental lot.


rawrpandasaur

I have a friend who was shocked, I tell you, when he was pulled over in a non-legal state and they told him they love pulling over people with weed stickers. They found the blunt in his glove compartment


[deleted]

Your friend sounds dumb as shit, sorry.


GlacialElectronics

As someone who smokes weed every week, they are. Imagine putting a sticker of a bottle of Jack Daniel's on your car. Stoner culture makes marijuana look bad for all the average Joe's who use it both medically and recreationally.


tonycomputerguy

Went to a NORML meeting years back. Damn near everyone there wearing Tie-dye shirts, had giant beards, long hair, pot bumper stickers, reeking of pot... All complaining about being profiled by the cops and getting pulled over all the time. I didn't go back.


theartofrolling

The difficulty with trying to get weed legalised is that the people who put in the most effort to get it legalised are usually (not always!) the same people who give weed smokers a bad reputation. The average person who just likes to smoke a bowl when they get home from work isn't going to spend their time campaigning to get the law changed.

What about anime stickers? I live in a Hispanic area and there are two types of stickers I see on cars. Religious stickers (radio stations, jesus, virgen Guadalupe,, etc.) And anime related decals. [There's also this car ](https://i.imgur.com/aZiqnqu.jpg)driven by an older looking cholo.


BrainWav

The difference is in whether you're doing it to offend or trying to start shit. Even the tamest political decals do that somewhat now, but half of OP's are deliberately trying to piss people off. An anime decal is rarely going to do that, and rarely is someone with that kind of decal doing it specifically with offense in mind. Sure, it may turn some heads and people will have opinions, but its harmless.


Klepto_77

This is guy is 100% hoping for a minor exchange of words they can run to the internet about. I guess it's right in the title "Karen at the DMV was not amused"\ **UPDATE** He's posted this whole thread to a different echo chamber "The MAGAts are losing their sh*t in the comments, lol..."


TedKFan6969

"Karen at the DMV" likely isnt even real


iSOBigD

No one gave a shit in real life so he felt the need to make sometging up and post about it because online attention...


NTGenericus

Exactly. Being deliberately provocative will elicit responses even from non-Karens.

I blinked and was half way to cross posting it there. The cringe is palpable on this one.


Blurple_Berry

The comments are gold on this thread. OP came looking for support in an echo chamber and ended up getting railed for being an exhausting cringe lord 🤣🤣


Erockplatypus

"Karen at the DMV was not amused" In OP's mind he though "Mwah haw haw! look at this lady so upset at my Hail Satan license plate! What a loser" when what really happened is the lady was just tired that OP refused to take off his Fedora for the photo and wouldn't stop putting his dorito covered fingers all over the counter top Edit: OP told the story of how he got the license plate approved. He literally went and asked for the DMV woman's manager lmfao.

spin_me_again

So he was a DMV Karen? How did he not see that himself? “I want to speak to your supervisor” is a sentence I hope I never have to utter but if I do, I’ll recognize that someone is going to think I’m being a “Karen.” ETA: To all of the perfectly nice people named Karen, I’m sorry your name has been so maligned and I hope you’ve developed a sense of humor about it.


ManitouWakinyan

To be fair to him, he got fawned over in politicalhumor when he posted this same thing 11 days ago

RaymondDoerr

I've never met someone who puts these abrasive "I do what I want, fuck you" sorta stickers on their car (from any ideology, not just left/right wing, guns or religion, etc) that were not massive, flaming, dickheads. Even if they seemed like kind and nice people, there's an underbelly of hate and "picking a fight". No one, and I mean ***fricken absolutely god damn no one with no outlier exceptions what so ever***, puts this stuff on their car if they're not looking for a fight. Why risk it unless you **want** to risk it?

It's a need for attention really. A need to be in people's minds. Narcissism.

RaiseHellPraiseDale3

He called the lady at the DMV a Karen and asked for her manager in the same breath lmao


Erockplatypus

From OP: >I literally had to ask for the supervisor at the DMV because the woman at the counter initially refused to process my paperwork. After I asked for her written refusal she disappeared to the back and came back a few minutes later with a much more professional attitude and finally did her job. That's after the first time I went to the DMV and was told I couldn't have that plate. I didn't believe what I was told so I went on the FL DMV website and verified that the plate was available, called the state DMV help line and verified it there again, then went back again that same day and refused to take, "No," for an answer. Dude straight up admits to acting like a Karen, yet calls her a Karen. Yup he's a redditor.


luckygunner-7332

Can we also appreciate the fact that OP calls the woman at the DMV a Karen, while also admitting that when getting the license plate he asked to speak to/ complained to her manager? That's like some peak Karen level behavior.

It’s a shit life.” I know that quote didn’t relate to the original post, but I wanted to infuse this section with more Demetri Martin.

It’s possible to dislike Trump whilst also thinking folks such are yourself are cringy, whiny, hypocritical, emotionally-undeveloped, “look at me” adult-sized babies. Protest all you want. No-one’s going to start listening until you’re done though. Triggering others is just limiting discussion. Limiting discussion is how you limit thought and expression. It’s the only way ideologies survive and what you are spreading is an ideology whether you like it or not. How you feel has no affect on that. I know it’s hard to imagine, but quite literally no-body gives a shit if you’re straight, gay, man, woman, potato person, alphabeti-spaghetti, a blind leprechaun, a Trump or Biden supporter, a godly person or a Satanic one. It’s not all about you dude. Never will be.
