Posh parking passes / tickets left on display in cars
People who go to the races / car rally / big sporting event on a Saturday, put the big A4 'posh persons enclosure parking pass' sign up in their winsdscreen, then leave it proudly on display for the next month.

Just remembered this as I've just noticed a co-worker's car has a big 'British touring car championships 12 August 2012' special access pass up in his windscreen, 7 weeks later.

The thing that really annoys is that if you accidentally glance at their car (which they're watching and hope you'll do), they're ready and eager to say 'ooh, forgot to take that down, that's from when I went to Ascot last weekend, you needed it to get into the queen's private car parking area' etc, like I'm meant to be impressed.

hah.
Yup.

One of the guys I used to work with had a British airways 'first class' tag hanging off his briefcase for at least 3 years. It looked like a dogs dinner after the first couple of weeks, so fuck knows what he was trying to say.

I was saw a woman in Tesco carpark standing at the back of her oversized 4x4, carefully transplanting all of her Tesco groceries out of their Tesco bags, and into Waitrose ones. I think it's just about the most pathetic thing I've ever witnessed.

I would imagine she had one of these parking stickers, too. Seems the right mentality.

Excellent.
I once bought a bottle of shite vodka in Sainsburys, and tipped it into an Absolut bottle, 'cos I had someone coming over who was a complete fucking ass who would only ever bring the cheapest bottle of wine he could find, and drink himself into a stupor out of my carefully nurtured wine rack.

He even commented on how Absolut was so much smoother than Smirnoff. Mind you, that was after 4 of us had got through 20 bottles of beer, and 3 bottles of wine, so I can't really blame him.

Bloody hell
She *does* know she can just fill the Waitrose bags in Tesco at the checkout, right?

Waitrose and Sainsburys did the best "bag for life" type bags (hessian, sturdy, can take many many heavy things) so I use them everywhere.

Goth / tranny / something
I work with. Very style conscious.
Must spend a good hour making his hair up every morning.

Then to top it off, puts his security pass attached to a garish O2 lanyard around his neck. I think it's from some concert he went to last year.

It'll be pens and a pocket protector next...

Mine would probably still be carelessly lobbed between the windscreen and the dash.
Unless the wind had blown it off.

My old car still had a halls of residence pass for 2005 and a pass for my old work (2010) when I sold it this year.

Neither of them were for boasting / starting conversations. I just couldn't be arsed removing them; a day pass wouldn't even get stuck to the windscreen though.

As you can guess, I also collect all my out of date tax discs in the holder.

I agree, but...
... I kept the tunnel pass for Cruachan Power Station on my windscreen for months, until it was so sun-bleached as to be unreadable.

Come on, it's like a James Bond villain lair down there, it's got a huge amount of geek cred. And most importantly, I can drive into it and you can't.
