UR A LSR

i don't get rilled up all that often.

the above statement was a lie.

but every morning i pull into my office parking lot and i am greeted with quite possibly the most obnoxious vanity plate i have ever seen. i literally cringe when i see it.

i can't help that there is just something about vanity plates that make me twitch. they are the epitome of cheese. and a personal pet peeve of mine - don't judge, you have yours too.

i don't care if you SEWALOT, are a LNCHLDY, JRS WIFE, MISFIT or are CRAIZEEE.

i don't need to know how much you like butt sex or even if you are KNG OF AK *ahem* lebron james.

the only and i mean ONLY time a vanity plate is tolerable is when it is just single initials.

you are now as a reader of my blog, obliged to confess to me if you have a vanity plate. i'll judge you, but i'll still love you.

What if it is single initials for your college and your favorite basketball player from the 90's jersey #???? :)

adriana said...

I hate them too. Occasionally there is a funny one, but man. For the most part, they suck balls. That one especially!

Chele said...

I sort of have it.
It doesnt say anything but I have custom registration numbers, sort off.
Usually people here have 4 digits in their plate. I only have 2, 73. the day and month of my birthday.

does that count?

Dolce said...

You're not alone sister. I think they're the dumbest car accessories on the planet. I daydream about rear-ending them when I'm on the highway.

Erica Ortiz said...

Okay, okay...

I used to have BRINGIT. It was from my dumber, street racing days.

if you have one on a dorky scooter...?

Ashley said...

Haha. I JUST got the title of your post.

I'm far too broke to have a vanity plate.

I sort of judge vanity plate people, mostly young college kids whose parents shell out the extra bucks to make them feel special. Like, seriously. I'm sick of spoiled kids. :-P

Narm said...

I saw you driving around with your "BLOGR" license plate - don't lie.

Douchegirl said...

I hate them too. My older brother has one that says "YO MNDO" which is Spanish text speak for "I RULE".

Ugh. I hate it.

Deutlich said...

I had a vanity plate.. it read LUV4BSB

No - I'm not lying.

I also still own them, even though I no longer use them.

LBluca77 said...

HAHA Narm's comment was the best.

I hate those too, I am not going to pay to have a personalized plate. So stupid.

I also hate people that put stickers all over their car. ! sticker is fine, 17 is not.

court said...

In Illinois they are free provided you include a number, thus making them extremely prevalent.

Whilst claiming residency in the 'Nois, my rides pimped "OSCEOLA1" and "BLAKE 22".

Then I moved to Ohio and was forced to get a plain, old, everyman's plate full of random letters and numbers and absolutely no meaningful significance.

*tear*

Matt said...

Im way too cheap for that.

Allison M. said...

my parents have one.

It is "WOOKENT."

Seriously.

I know, but I can't divorce my parents now. They got it because they were done paying for college at Kent and Wooster.

So@24 said...

Oh Alexa...

brookem said...

oof. i dont have one, and i agree with your sentiments on them fully.

Tipp said...

I do not but while reading this post all i could think about was the Office episode where what's his face irritating BFF of Michael who has WLM HNG on his car and has no idea why people think he is a William Hung fan.

Oh yeah! His name was PACKER. Hate him.

Mandy said...

*Sigh*

*Raises hand from the back of the room.

I have one.

Jenn said...

I don't have one. Often while driving I will refer to the person in front of me by whatever is on their license plate.

I don't even know what I would put on my plate if I wanted one.

Jamie Lovely said...

So funny because last week I told the boy about two I seen:

LABRTVR to go with their Labrador dog sticker

and the always class, URNUTZ

Jessie said...

My parents bought me one for my first car that said "MR UGLY" because that was my car's name.

Now, sadly, I don't have any car whatsoever.

Katelin said...

okay wow that anal sex one is a bit ridiculous. i don't have a vanity plate and i don't plan on getting one any time soon.

rs27 said...

Who doesn't have avanity plate? I have one.

IMGR8ATSX.

UD KR 34 Goooo Dayton Flyers!!

Marie said...

I never get vanity plates. I mean, if a cop is chasing after you, it's easier to write your plate number down. Now why would anyone want that?

3carnations said...

I do not have a vanity plate, but long ago I dated a guy who did. It was his initials and the number 1. For example, ABC1. I told him if he got a second vehicle, he should get ABC2 for the plate. He looked at me like I had 25 heads. It made sense to me...at least as much as the first plate made any sense.

stealthnerd said...

Augh, I hate vanity plates!!

Nilsa said...

Hahaha - no vanity plates here. They're so tacky and entirely too unnecessary!

HorribleLicensePlates said...

I have a whole blog dedicated to this. We don't have road rage, we have plate rage.

Lauren said...

Hahaha, yes. I definitely don't have one. A co workers has one that says "oh noes" though and that's kind of stupid/funny.

Bill Teets said...

I have one, although it's on golf cart and not my car: LEIGC

As with anything, I find them acceptable if they aren't stupid.

Kelly and José said...

Why is it that nearly ever owner of a Lexus feels the need to display "Lex" or even "Lexy" (followed by a few numbers) on their license plate??

Now, Alexa -- this urge better not tempt you if you someday drive a Lexus. . .with your name being what it is, I can see how it just might*

Fizzgig said...

*raises hand* I have vanity plates. Mine are pretty sweet though, because for years my Dad had them, it's his navy ship name. And when he died, one year later, they became available again, and they are now mine. I never thought I'd have them until this happened. It's my sorta tribute!

Also,its two words, which are spelled correctly. Nothing stupid like WHT EVAR.

Arjewtino said...

I would if the Virginia DMV weren't so anti-Semitic.

margottobed said...

woahh this post upsets me! i looove personalized plates... totally breaks up the monotony of driving when i can take a second and figure out what lvoweih means !!

although, i DO slightly judge people once i figure out the message they're broadcasting via license plate

allthewine said...

my plate used to say DTOWN. You don't have to tell me, I know it was boss.

But then it was like $55 to renew it, on top of other renewal feels and a high priced registration. Bye bye DTOWN.

EP said...

I don't come across many here in Mississippi, but I find them a little obnoxious, too. Needless to say, I don't have one and never will because I'm too cheap to pay extra for my license plate.

Jesse said...

mine either said
LA 21
or
PEN15
I don't remember.

Alice said...

they are ALLLL OVER in virginia. i sort of hate them, and sort of appreciate the fact that trying to decipher them gives me something to do while driving.

the only one i've sort of liked was for a family whose daughter took piano lessons from me. their last name was Bean, and their minivan's plate was "FULLA BNZ"

Shannon said...

Hahhaha, I was looking at your title going "Hmm what does that even mean??" to myself.

Then, about 30 seconds later, I got it. Which is about as long as it takes me to figure out stupid vanity plates. They KILL me.

Maxie said...

1) I really thought that "how much you like butt sex" was going to be a link to my blog yesterday. LOL

2) My vanity plate says iluvalxa. is that okay?

Bayjb said...

Oh you're so right, they are cheesy. I don't have one but my grandparents do. The only reason I ask for light judgement is because they got one with the name of their honeymoon location years ago.

skinny fat chick said...

oh, HATE THEM. My boyfriend actually ordered one and I made him feel so dumb about it that he went back to the DMV and changed his request. He rarely listens to my input on such matters which tells you how much of an impact I must have made. His wasn't even that bad, but it's principle.

andrea said...

When I was a young child, I thought those were so super. I also wore acid washed jeans then, so its hard to take my tastes from back in the day seriously.

Always a Bridesmaid said...

I H8 VAN T PL8S 2.

Meghan said...

My ex boyfriends said IB6 UB9

The plate lasted much longer than the relationship.

Andy said...

I don't, but I must admit that when I first read LNCHLADY, I thought it meant Lynch Lady, which, praytell, is much different than Lunch Lady.

Kristen said...

I do not have one. I think they're stupid. Unless the one that says MILF becomes available.

Then I'm all over it.

(Just kidding)

Lindsay Verdova said...

Um, mine for sure said "HAWK32" (my nickname and my lucky/favorite number). I got it for my 16th b-day and put it on my first car, which was cleverly nicknamed, "The Hawk32". People still call me that to this day. I have never lived it down.

Bethk said...

how could anyone forget EJK11? she took us to so many post tim's wendy's trips. To this day people still ask me if I still have that car! haha!

TraciJ said...

Depending on what they say.....If they are sentimental or kinda cute I don't mind them, but when they say something like "IM WONDERFUL" or the likes - Hate them!

You have to put up with them out here in California - They are everywhere in SF!

I don't have one, but my husband has one and it says "DEEETZ" - Something he used to say as a little kid. (they are sooo expensive!!)

Anyways when I moved from the Cleveland area (hometown Parma) to CA it is like "another world" - seriuosly!

PS: Love your blog!

Christina said...

For the record... the license plate is actually CRAZIEE.

Just clearing that up. :)
