Jennifer R. was close in her guess. I will mount this on the inside of the Honda Civic's dashboard window as I drive the gauntlet that is my neighborhood during these last two weeks of summer, and that oughta ward off those pesky "PARK HERE! $10!!!!!", over-exclamating, little fiends.
I think the flowers soften the message a bit, and really do prove my soul isn't completely black. Like I'm saying, "Out of my way, you heartless, money-grubbing bastards that have NOTHING better to do…love, Cathy."
Jennie says
LOL – very funny, and please if you can, a picture of the sign actually in your car?
I would so love that.
ps-the flowers TOTALLY soften the statement. Especially since their pink!
Jennie says
whoopsie-“they’re” instead of “their”, please.

Becky says
ROFL! That is awesome!
These might also prove useful!

I live here also but in Brooklyn Park and the word fits oerfectly for those who park at the fair. DUMBASSES. Maybe I will do the same in the lot when we go sat. It is exactly the word to fit.

Randi says
Thank you for a good laugh; great way to start the morning! I think it’s great! The flowers do add an extra special something
donnadowney says

Jessica Hood says
omg…that is TOO fabulous! what a hoot!
Kelli Kemmerer says
GOD you are so FUNNY!!! This is why I love reading your blog every day!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Thanks!!!:)
Emma says
Ah, I remembered the opposite! Darn 🙂 Well that sign would make me giggle to see it in a car window, hope your neighbors get a kick out of it.
#1 Buckeye Fan says
LOVE that sign!
We have some major road construction in NW Ohio and the speed is reduced to 45 mph. I would love to see what you could come up with for a bumper sticker I could put on my car, for all those stupid people driving 60 in the construction zone, then riding my ass. 😀
Steph:)
Alicia says
LOVE IT!
Henriettae says
Simply splendid.
Christine C says
YA. – what Donna said. 🙂
Nichole Black says
BWAAAAAA HA HA!!!! You’ve got to post pictures of your neighbors’ faces as they read your sign!
Kristina says
I LOVE IT! I’m so doing that next year when I have to drive through the fairgrounds neighborhood here in Des Moines to get home…but I think mine will say “I’m just trying to get home, dumbasses”
Heather H. says
Yes, the flowers do add a certain pleasant happiness to the gesture! We take the bus when we go. Which I would imagine is equally annoying for those who live around the fair grounds!
Emily says
I am so making one of these. I can see the potential for other cards: I could make one for all of the various times I need to ward off idiots! and the flowers do make a nice touch.
Kris with a K says
OH, how I miss the fair! Please eat some mini donuts and some cheese curds for me!
And take a little ride on the “Old Mill” ride with Dan. tee hee!
amanda says
And that, made me smile.
JenniB says
Love the “gentleness” those flowers bring to the message. LOL!
I, too, would like to see a pic of this in the car.
Cheers!

Nicky H says
Although my first instinct as a parent of a 7 year old is I don’t like cuss words in public, I have to say I love the flowers! 😉
carolyn says
and makes such wonderful use of scrapbooking product…bonus!
tara says
oh my gosh.
you always know how to just perfectly place a perfect little swear word.
Carol Anne says
I’ll watch for your car & sign as we head to The Fair tomorrow.
Rhonda says
haha! Priceless!
melissa deakin says
you are hilarious!
love the sign…and
the flowers totally soften
it! LOL!
Michelle says
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhahahaaa
JUST THE LAUGH I NEEDED TODAY. and no I’m not yelling. Well I kinda am but I didn’t mean to yell at you. I have the capslock on for work and was just too damn lazy to backspace the first half of the sentence. although, clearly I’ve spent more time justifying the caps than I would have if I just fixed it. But then, it wouldn’t be a post from Michelle 🙂
Nicola says
nice.
TracieClaiborne says
ha!
I too, want to see that inside your car.
Picture please!
Beth says
You are just too funny! Way to tell them where to go! I always hated that part about the MN State Fair. Miss the fair. :>( I can never seem to get back to MN in time for it. Boo hoo. Please share stories about all the fried crap on a stick. :>)
Have fun!
valerie says
seriously. best.laugh.ever.
and especially the best laugh today.
Loni says
lol
Shelly in the NW says
I think I’ll make that on vinyl cling with my new Silhouette and put it on my car! 🙂
Joanne says
snort! That is so funny!
tracy says
Good sign. “I have my own damn driveway to park in. Thanks.” would have been good, too. Just having been to the Iowa State Fair, I have to know if the shuttle buses in MN drive 90 mph on the shuttle route down 25mph residential streets as well?
Peggy Lucas says
I love the “Love, Cathy” part. So aprapos.
Nicole says
*LMAO!!!!* THAT, my dear is hi-larious!!! The only way it could be better would be:
1. it had a big smiley face on it to punctuate the dumbasses part
or
2. it had one of those ‘pissing Calvins’ near the flowers
😉
Kim Arnold says
and a nice font treatment too! ;o)

Janie says
LOL!!! LOVE IT! Can I lift the idea and use it for cards to leave on the dumbasses cars, the people that continually think it’s okay to take my parking spot? (People here seem to think that Private Parking is an oxymoron.) oooops – thanks for letting me venbt in your comments!
Kat (Lovebug Kat - the chatty one) says
You are the best Cathy! You never fail to bring a smile to my face with your zaniness!
Can’t wait to see the picture of the sign in the car window.
Good luck with the Gauntlet Run LOL
Ngaire Bartlam says

Susan D. says
too funny as i choke on my prenatal vitamin…i totally remember reading about that now…i must agree, a pic with it in your car and maybe a pic as you drive by them=0)
ashley says
That just made me make a very unladylike snort noise.
Sherri says
LOL! I so need one of those signs for inside my car! We live in a resort town and summer time is crazy!
Penny says
Ummm, I’m thinking you’ll get two tickets now, instead of one. LOL.
Merideth says
i’ve often said i need to invent a cartop sign that could flip between several messages (“cruise control can be your friend,” “slower traffic to the right,” “your model came without blinkers?” etc.). yours is now added to my list!
Sinead says
Hilarious!
I may need to re-interpret that for my drives past Michigan Stadium. (Go BLUE!!!)
Katrina says
LMAO!
Maria says
Just too funny~ and cute.
april says
Thanks, Cath. I just snorted lemonade out my nose! 😛
Ady Abreu says
I wish you were my neighbor so we can hang out and talk smack about the neighbors… Wouldn’t mind srapbooking with you either… have a good weekend…
Sarah says
ah…
beware those who irk a crafty woman with a good printer.
What a satisfying way to handle a stressful, ongoing situation.
Kris says
Ahhh, takes me back to the days of my youth and the “Welcome to Maine…now go home!” signs. Love it…
Tanja says
I think I just pee’d my pants. Stacy J would be glad you used your “Happy” Colors.
Debbie Cook says
omg!!! it never fails. YOU. CRACK. ME. UP. 😀
i love it! i love you! you never fail to make me laugh! man, i wish i knew you irl!

I love it! I went to the MN State Fair for the first time on Sat. Tell us how the sign worked for you. I would love to see the look on their faces!
