Psychologists William Szlemko and his colleagues at Colorado State University in Fort Collins have made a link between road rage and … bumper stickers!
People who had a larger number of personalized items on or in their car were 16% more likely to engage in road rage, the researchers report in the journal Applied Social Psychology.
“The number of territory markers predicted road rage better than vehicle value, condition or any of the things that we normally associate with aggressive driving,” say Szlemko. What’s more, only the number of bumper stickers, and not their content, predicted road rage — so "Jesus saves" may be just as worrying to fellow drivers as "Don’t mess with Texas".

Is Shopdropping (Reverse Shoplifting) A Crime? - 19 Haziran 2008 Perşembe 03:48:56:937
Okay, we all know that shoplifting is a crime - but what about the reverse: shopdropping (or droplifting) where you go into stores and actually put things onto the shelves. Is that a crime?
Here’s a neat article on WebUrbanist about the strange (performance art?) act of reverse shoplifting:
Shopdroppers have their own reasons for doing what they do. Some are social and political culture jammers who want to raising awareness about consumerism or adding warnings to dangerous products. Others seek to promote their own product, such as an album left in a record store. Still others do it for their own amusement and artistic fulfillment without expectations of any kind of return. […]
Shopdroppers who are caught are variously freed by confused police or held on charges related to destruction of property or even fraud.
