Those mini boxing gloves that folk hang from their mirrors

[sportwagen]

Has there ever, in the history of the world, ever been anyone who has these who isn't a horrible pikey cwnt?

[kambites]

I don't see why they're any worse than anything else hanging from the mirror.

[laam999]

I box and have been tempted to get some and I think I'm a rather nice polite guy..... But that I beat up for talking about my caravan may not agree....

[LuS1fer]

What are they meant to "say" about the driver though? I understand stupid teddies and religious artefacts and air fresheners but weapons of pugilistic relief?

What's wrong with a nice magic tree?

Or even better, one of those air fresheners that look like little wooden pieces of fruit?

For the sake of simplicity, we should just agree that anyone with anything hanging from their mirror is probably

After all, who needs to see where they're going - that's what the satnav's for.

That fact that they get in the way, they look stupid, and if you kept your car interior clean you wouldn't need it anyway.

i have a small voodoo doll hanging from mine, used to curse middle lane hogs and 20mph-ers.
ive always had stuff on my mirror so i dont notice it anymore. certainly no more dangerous than f-ing big A pillars!

I bet they also have the matching gold chain with boxing gloves from Argos - classy

[sportwagen]

Are there any PHers with the mini boxing gloves who wish to attempt to justify their choice of interior ornament?

C'mon, out with it.

I don't think I have even had anything hanging from my rvm, I even take the EuroTunnel ones off as soon as I have entered the train.

Pet hate of mine, not sure why.

My brother has some on his car

but he is a Muay Thai Kru and you can call him a pikey twunt if you want as I aint

In actual fact his are mini replicas of his own gloves that he wears to fight in.

I hang my full 16oz gloves from mine just to show people I am a double hard bd hehe

And they stink!! Why mask an existing bad smell with another smell? This is like people who have bad breath so they chew gum. They used to smell of halitosis or cigarettes but now they chew gum they stink of mint, which is almost as bad. Or fragrant soap - what's the point of that? I wash my hands to get rid of dirt and smells, I don't want the soap to put a smell on me!!

Not to mention the fact that a top stylist at the car company spent months carefully designing the interior of the car to look good, and then some idiot hangs a cardboard tree in it! It's the equivalent of a girl paying a top London hair salon to style her hair, and then putting a pair of cheap dangly hoop earings in.

Bad taste - bad smell - bad idea.

Hmm, moved to the lounge eh?

I thought it was a motoring-releated topic.

Same here. Most of them seem to have lost their fragrance anyhow, so serve no purpose other than being dangerous.

It might be a height thing...I'm pretty lofty so dangly crap obscures more important things than if I was shorter?

[MadRob6]

Not a patch on these

I'm note sure if this is going to makes me more or less of a pikey cwnt...

...but I was seeing with a lovely lady that had boxing gloves hanging off her mirror.

Just to furnish your type casting even more she had: fake boobs, kids by more than one farther and a whole host of scribble skin decals, but by god was she mental naughty!!!

Personally I want nothing to be swinging in the breeze to distract me when I am driving, driving requires 100% attention.(In my humble opinion).

[Skii]

Loads of those boxing glove things around these parts, all coloured orange and in cars driven by asian people.

I'll bite.

I have a pair hanging from my rear-view mirror, they are an air-freshener apparently. They were a gift from my Father-In-Law's wife, so I did the right thing and used them. They are not what I would normally use.

Am I a pikey?
