now I'm confused. what is the actual intention of these stickers?
I read somewhere that the purpose is to frustrate anyone that is upset with their driving. So let's say someone cuts you off while driving, if you honk at them, they will pretend that it's because you are telling them you like pizza. It's pretty dumb because assuming both understand the intention of the ~~stickler~~ sticker, they both know the real intention of the honk. Basically, the sticker owner is being a preemptive passive-aggressive jerk to further irritate someone else they will offend. That's why I honk at them even when they haven't upset me. I'm cutting off their preemptive passive-aggression with preemptive passive-aggression. I'm actually winning so much π

Wiat what? Are you serious? That⦠makes no sense!
Yep, that's how it was explained to me. I still take it as them asking for a pizza lovers to honk and follow thru tho.
On a tangent but passive aggressive shit confuses the hell out of me. Just COMMUNICATE. My general rule is that if I even suspect someone's being passive aggressive I'll just go with what ever they say to do/not do.
If that pisses them off more, tough shit, they should have just communicated. I'm not gonna risk getting picked up and placed in more shit on the off chance they actually were expecting me to do/not do something.
I have been overly cautious for about the past 2-3 years with passive aggression. But something in my mind switched in the past 2 weeks, and now I'm on a self-affirming growth spurt. I plan on following your style of dealing with potential passive aggression. And, if they then get upset, snarky, or insulting that I misunderstood their passive-aggressive comment, they're getting put on a longer spoon or removed from my life entirely. I'm setting healthy boundaries all over the place, and they are being enforced.
