A lot of the same stuff everyone has mentioned - coexist, stick figure family, watch for motorcycles, yada yada yada. But the one I see more than any other is for a place called Tim’s Barbershop. I’d swear it’s a local, old style shop with a proprietor actually named Tim, yet I see these stickers everywhere. I’m starting to wonder if Tim’s is the name of a franchise or something. Also, my boyfriend used to go there until the day good ol’ Tim took the liberty of putting said bumper sticker (window sticker, actually)on his truck without telling him. Makes me wonder if Tim is just putting his stickers on random cars in the middle of the night. ---

The only thing I find more disturbing than these are the roadside memorials where someone died. I’ve never lost anyone in an auto accident, but I don’t know that I’d want to remember where they died. I’d rather think of the better days. And I’ve already told my husband not to turn me into a sticker on the car. ugh. As for this area, I can’t remember specific stickers, but there are a lot of anti-Obama/anti-Dem/anti-liberal sentiments along with pro-gun stickers and really over-the-top patriotic stuff. It’s a Navy town, so I don’t suppose that’s too surprising. We’ve got a magnetic “I ❤ my Grand-dog” that our daughter gave us, and a sticker that says “It ain’t over till the Fat Boy Screams” - spousal unit has a H-D Fat Boy. I don’t think I ever stuck a bumper sticker on any of my cars. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > We’ve got a magnetic “I ❤ my Grand-dog” that our daughter gave us… If I had ever successfully made my boy Dane my “go-with” dog, I would have stickered my car with “Dog is my Co-Pilot.” The first time I saw that sticker, I literally laughed root beer through my nose and had to pull over. (My boy just never learned to ride calmly, and I rarely drove anywhere I could either take him in or leave him safely in the car. So, bummer.) ---

Aside from all the other common types mentioned above, we have some specific-to-the-area ones that I see all the time. Colorado Native and it’s counterpart Colorado Transplant Frac this! (with a line drawing of someone peeing on an oil derrick or flipping the bird) Anything and everything relating to gun ownership - pro and con Sadly, there are still many “Remember Columbine” stickers And of course, numerous ski resort stickers (I heart Loveland, for example, or I skied Copper) And it goes without mentioning that we have lots and lots of cannabis-related ones (Rocky Mountain high indeed) ---

I live in rural southeastern Ontario and see a fair amount of bumper stickers, but mostly magnets. We see a lot of “If You Don’t Stand Behind Our Troops, Feel Free to Stand In Front Of Them” stickers. Lots and LOTS of yellow ribbons, lots of those stop-sign shaped magnets that say STOP TEXTING, lots of Browning stickers (both regular and pink), LOTS of maple leaf stickers. The stick families are ubiquitous as well. Lots of “I Heart My Pet” and that variety, too. I see at least one car with a variety of the above every single day, and many cars with one of them. Also there’s at least one van driving around that has instead of a stick-figure family, a big camo Browning symbol, a big pink Browning symbol, and three miniature Browning logos–two camo and one pink. (For mom, dad, two sons, and daughter, you see.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/five-bumper-stickers-commonly-seen-in-your-area/713441.md?page=3)
