HALLLAH

Starting this blog has only heightened my obsession with taking photos of vanity plates.  It has elevated me to creeper status, where I have gone out of my way to follow people, circled the block to go back to parked car, and yelled at my boyfriend for not being fast enough getting to his camera while I was driving.  Even with all of that, there are some pretty terrific (read: terrible) plates I have missed.  I can only hope that they will circle back around and I will be rewarded with the same or better next time I’m out.  I am always on the lookout, sometimes though I just cannot safely snap a good photo.

This one however, was not a missed opportunity.  This plate is spectacular.

HALLLAH!

This plate alone is worthy of a write up, but it gets exponentially worse when you take a look at what the license plate frame says. 

AT CHA BOY

Oh.  My.

What I can say is this one is kind of funny.  I mean, if the ‘AT CHA’ was actually one word as it is supposed to be.  Well, as any non-word word can supposed to be anything.  Oh, pardon me.... 

spose ta be.  Either way, the grammatical error of this ungrammatical phrase makes my head spin.  That and this HALLLAH has far too many letters. 

Although it is funny, my first reaction to this plate is that the driver is clearly unemployable. 

How can you take a person seriously if they drive around like this?  I mean, it’s a relatively nice car, one I would never notice without this target on its back (and front, it is California after all).  What the hell?   I mean, this is one of those plates that you follow around until you can get a good photo of it.  Who wants people taking photos of their bad decisions?  I mean, how grateful am I that no one had a camera phone when I was in high school!?

Instead, an adult male made the conscious decision to drive around, every day, with this.  He went home, filled out an application to get this plate, tried various spelling options (obviously the “correctly” spelled HOLLA is already taken), and then had a CUSTOM LICENSE PLATE FRAME MADE!

Let that one sit with you for just a second.

I just.  I can’t.  What. Why.

I suppose at the very least this gentleman shows a certain level of commitment to a project.  The same level of committment stalkers have.  Stupid commitment. Commitment that does not translate well to most workplaces.  

I mean, I'd hire him to work for me obviously.  I'd just send him off with his camera phone and tell him to take photos of "awesome cars".  I'm sure he'd come back with loads of options for me to write about.

Knock it off, your car makes you look stupid.
