What Is WRONG with People?

Here's something that I just cannot figure out. Why, oh why, do people leave that stupid, ugly license plate frame from the dealer on their car? I mean, you go out and spend $20,000 or $40,000 or even $60,000 (I'm in the dreaming zone here—truthfully, at the $40,000 level, too) on a beautiful car, you pick out the color you like, the wheel covers you like (apparently they're not hubcaps anymore, they are "wheel covers"), the chrome trim package, and the cool pinstripe down the side. Then, you drive happily away from the dealership, proud as can be in your beautiful sort of custom created shiny new car. How neat is that? Imagining everyone staring at you as zoom by. But in reality, all the driver behind you sees is that stupid license plate frame which you've for some God only knows reason chosen to leave on. So instead of looking at your flash as you drive by, they're looking at "East City AutoMall" or "Desert Kia/Acura@AUTO NATION" or "Western Lexus—Where the Service Is Great!" I mean, really. How tacky and ugly can you get? Why would you want to drive around in a big fancy automobile with an ad on it, for heaven's sake? Are they just lazy? Do they think they owe some obligation to the dealer? Or have they not even noticed that it's there???

Could you please just get out the darn screwdriver and take that hideous eyesore off of your vehicle? Please? Do not force the rest of us to suffer from your ignorance any longer.

What is wrong with people?

This is, of course, just my humble (but always correct) opinion.
