CRATEUP

This is one of the many plates Kourtney and I saw on our way to Coachella a couple weeks ago.  It is a little tough to read the plate, but it says "CRATEUP" and it appears to have a Great Dane sticker on the back.

Yeah.  Ok. Let me just stop my car here and put my huge dog in a crate.

I am not against crating your dog, it's a great training technique and many dogs find comfort in having a space that is "their own".  But... why is it necessary to tell me to do it with your car?  Number 1, I don't even have a dog.  Number 2, what good is me seeing it on your license plate going to do even if I did have one.  Does the driver think that I am going to go home and google crating and decide it's the life for me based on a chance traffic encounter.

Note to Readers: Often times I DO google the plates I see before I post, or I check urbandictionary.com in case there are some meanings I am unhip to.  But I think I am in the minority, I mean, how many other people have blogs based solely on encounters with weird vanity plates?  I mean, only like 40-60% of people, right?

I did not google this particular plate.  There is no hidden meaning, you can tell by the giant canine on the left.  It's literally telling me to crate my dog.

TO WHAT END?!

If this was a business vehicle (meaning with a name, phone number, etc stuck to it somewhere) I would have no problem, but it wasn't.  It was an everyday car.  Maybe the driver is a crate salesman, but telling me to crate my dog without providing me with your specific information is just bad business sense.

It makes no sense, if you really think about it.

Please let your dogs out.

Knock if off, your car makes you look stupid.
