We’ve all seen cars with custom license plate frames. They’re little bits of metal and plastic to subtly offer other drivers a glimpse into our personalities. A custom license plate holder is a form of self-expression, and I’m all about it.
Your license plate holder might say:
- Where you bought your car. I like these people. They have more important things to do than spend money on a new license plate holder and spend time changing it out.
- Where you went to school. I fall into this category. There’s not a lot of Huskies down here so I’ve got to represent. The alumni association wishes I drove a nicer car.
- What you’d rather be doing. I’d rather be skiing/playing tennis/driving a Titleist. Clever.
But the other day I saw one of these “I’d rather” license plate holders that actually made me feel really bad for the driver:
“I’d rather be sleeping.”
At first I thought it was kind of funny, mostly because it gave me something to read while I was stuck at a red light. But the more I thought about, the more I realized how depressing it was.
Of all the things in the world this woman would rather have been doing (that could fit on a license plate frame), sleeping was her first choice. This is what she has chosen to advertise to her fellow drivers, that her optimal state of being is one of unconsciousness. I mean I enjoy sleeping as much as the next guy and definitely like a good night’s rest, but if that’s the activity you look forward to the most – enough to put it on your car – I’d venture to guess you’re not a happy person.
