| F...26.2 Stickers I can see that Matty has already commented on my Facebook status, but in my history of Facebook I have never had such an inflammatory response. Am I being a total douche in thinking that the people with these bumper stickers are a little bit douchey themselves? I don't take ANYTHING away from the people who have ran a marathon, but that's kind of like putting a bumper sticker on your car that says, "I've had a child." It's a totally amazing and impressive feat that I couldn't even think of doing right now, but that's like saying, "You should totally be impressed by me and because of my bumper sticker, I am better than you." Maybe it's the PBR talking, but I don't see how anyone can defend the reasoning behind having one of those bumper stickers...

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers I have driven my car more than 26.2...does that count? WTF is up with all these "Jesus is _____" stickers? In just one year they've spread like wild fire.

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers Maybe, but just recently I've seen a TON of these. I probably should stop being so critical considering I've never come close to running one, but jeebus it seems so "Look at how awesome I am."

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers I'm on the fence with this one. Generally, I hate any and all bumper stickers because I could care less about some strangers opinion, like/dislike, political affiliation, etc. But I can understand that if you've just accomplished something that your very proud of then you want to tell the world. As a runner, I don't think of myself as a "I'm a better person than you because I ran a marathon" kind of guy. But, I haven't bought a 26.2 bumper sticker either. I really don't think putting one on makes you any more of a douche than putting OBX or whatever on your car. Whatever, it's early. I have a 25k trail race in a couple of hours to get ready for. They're giving out free "25KTR" bumper stickers to all the finishers!

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers Took me a while to figure out what 26.2 was all about... In my best Christian Bale voice I say Oh good for you!! YouTube - ‪OH GOOOOOOOD FOR YOU.‬‏ |

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers TMC, do you have a sticker from your college on your car? To me it's not that different. I mean I know what you mean; stickers like that in general can be pretty douchey, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. The bumper stickers I hate are the "My Kid Is On The Honor Roll At..." especially when it's for an elementary school; and even more so when they follow it up with multiple "And Again" stickers. If your kid wins a Nobel Prize or the Pulitzer then I'll be impressed, but I don't really care that little Billy got a bunch of B's in the 4th grade.

I actually had to delete my post because people CALLED me to yell at me for it. One of them I hadn't spoken to in years... They were like, "You try and do it!" I didn't say I could do it and I'm impressed by people too, but this is akin to my OBX sticker post where I feel like it's acting like they're better than you.

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers LOL I agree with you TMC. A bit douchy. Great you did it, but a proclamation to the world isn't needed IMO. It's more like "hey look at me, I am so cool and I ran a marathon". Do you think any professional runners put up 26.2 stickers on their car? No. They don't because they realize it is a n00b thing to do. They probably laugh at cars when they see it.

Maybe I should get a bumper sticker that says I'm an ultra-sensitive douche.  I have to stop getting bothered by stuff like this, lol.

| Re: F...26.2 Stickers I notice (and get annoyed) by a lot of things like this that most people deem "small". I hate accepting things society thinks are alright mainly because I think they are dumb(anything Apple for example). I guess we would make for great comedians! I am glad I am not the only one who looks at the world like this.
