I found a horrible license plate for you last night. The quality isn't that great since I took it with my camera phone when I was stopped at a red light. This guy passed me on the right on a one-lane road, which is almost as obnoxious as his license plate. When I saw the creative spelling of "unique," my first thought was, "Does that say 'eunuch'?" That could explain all the overcompensatory engine revving.
Ah yes, the over compensatory engine revving, a common characteristic of a vanity plate owner. Other signs include irratic lane changes, the slow-merge, vanity license plate frames, and what I like to call the Perpetual Turn Signal (turn signal on, but clearly not turning anywhere). This plate just stokes my plate-rage fire!
Maybe the word "Unique" wasn't taken, but he doesn't know how to spell. Just like he doesn't know you aren't supposed to pass on the shoulder.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an obnoxious example of an occupant in Darwin's waiting room.
ReplyDeleteWord vert was BLENTH. Wonder what that would mean on a vanity plate...
Based on your linking to Apostrophe Catastrophes, I can only assume that your use of "who's blog I absolutely love" was intentional and ironic?
ReplyDeleteShite! I will correct that before I get burned ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! I'm glad you were able to use my submission!
