This would be like putting a “kick me” sign on your own back. Although why does anyone ever obey the “kick me” sign? Unless you know the victim well you have no basis to judge if that’s his handwriting or not. It was probably put there by someone else as a prank! Think this through people!

Goodness, I have a similar story. Let’s put it this way: UR2SLOW is a really bad thing for a cop to see…
It IS lose things week!
People have tried to put kick me signs on me before. I ducked and made them instead stick it to their face. I won.
BTW, I love the parking meter. Finally one as tall as Biff so he can look right at it. The ones where you have to bend over are a pain in the back.
Do you remember this literary adventure: “Steal This Book”?
Generally, the one’s with kick-me signs on their backs generally deserve being kicked.
Generally, the people who would put such a sign on someone were the ones who actually deserved to be kicked; or rather, spanked. They were the not-so-bright kids who knew they were inferior. They couldn’t think of any way to better themselves, so they would humiliate someone easily picked on. You would never see them put such a sign on the back of the star quarterback or wrestling champ — too cowardly.
“Steal This Book”
Hah! Amusing self-promotion by a total loser. At least it extended Abbie’s notoriety for another 35 seconds. 😛
Does anyone ever actually get kicked because of a “kick me” sign?
Um Chris…usually the kick me sign is a prank.
Cari, it’s only a prank to the person putting it there and the people doing the kicking. They seem to find it funny to put the sign on someone’s back, knowing full well that the other ignorants out there will kick said person at least until the sign is removed.
Pranks are meant to cause pain and or humiliation, and claiming that “it was just a prank” shows the ignorance of the person pulling the prank.
Some kids thought it was just funny to point a gun at their friends, as a prank, and it was probably hilarious, right up until the gun fires.
I’ve always wanted to do that but with a kiloton of explosives in the trunk.
When a “Kick Me!” sign was used during my childhood, generally when it was discovered the original sign-wearer and his/her current allies plotted to return it to the back of the writer, often via a formerly neutral person or a double agent.
It was hilarious to see the writer walking around oblivious to what was on his/her back – the irony improved the joke by like a million times.
