look at the crap I put in my rear window
The latest trend in conspicuous consumption: putting a bunch of crap on display in the rear window of your car. This is for the person who loves clutter and needs yet another spot to clutter up. I’m not a fan of clutter. And I really hate cutesy clutter. My mom loves cutesy clutter. The problem the clutter lovers eventually face is that they’ve maxed out on spots to clutter. So then they have to buy clutter as something to give to other people. If my mom were going to decorate the shelf under the rear window of my car, it would be filled with various cutesy things working on computers. See, I work with computers. So she thinks I’d like computer-themed clutter. This might be something like a dragon working away on a computer. My rear window would be filled with dragons working on computers.

I am so glad that you have brought this issue up. Those collections of crap in vehicle windows is a distraction - especially when the crap is stuffed animals and tissue boxes. What I would really like to know, is when you have to SLAM on your brakes, which you do a lot in bay area traffic, do all those things come flying off the shelf and smack you in the head?

I bet the same places that sell the rear-window clutter also sell some kind of rear-window clutter adhesive.

I was told once that if you slam on your brakes while going at high speeds, a blow to the head by a box of Kleenex sitting in the back of the car can actually kill you. So, snot noses that require tissue at all times in the car, beware. You might want to strap that tissue down. It could lead to your demise.

If you can get killed by a box of kleenex, imagine what a bunch of beanie babies could do. You’d probably need one of those new face transplants at the very least.
