Arrow Why do people put the following on..............

panama hats?

cushions?

boxes of tissues?

reflective jackets?


wtf is this all about? Why? The panama hat is surely some sort of statement?

I've always wondered about the tissues too.

Why stick them on the back shelf in the one place where you can't reach them ?



Must be linked to some dodgy sexual practice.

The high vis jackets one makes me laugh. Usually sported by people weaving in and out of traffic like a c0ck.

I've yet to see anyone use it for parcels.

I suspect the hi-viz people think it makes them look like some kind of official police type person.

In some parts of the country it stands as proof that the driver has a job.

Yep. "I can drive like a c0ck cos I'm the motherfacking po-lease. Oh wait, I'm not really, I just put that high vis jacket there because I dig up the roads. Oh well better drive like a frustrated overweight low income waste of blood and organs then... "
