There is only one reason you can put stickers on your laptop without be ridiculed; to avoid mix-ups where someone takes your laptop instead of theirs at the airport or library. This is acceptable. That's it though. There is no other good reason for stickers on laptops and when you think about, avoiding taking someone else's, or having them take yours, is barely passable. I mean when you have your laptop out at the airport or library or some other public place, how often do you get up and leave it alone? Stickers or not, that shit is going to get jacked. You stay with your laptop at all times. That shit is expensive. You don't want to lose it or have it stolen, right? So if you are always with it, you don't need any distinguishing stickers on it. What's next? Stickers on pets and babies? If you are the careless kind and you leave your laptop at the table at Starbucks while you go buy another latte then fine, put your stupid sticker on it. I still don't see the need to cover it with stickers though. One or two is sufficient.
The problem with stickers is they lost their "coolness" once you became a teenager. 12 and under, stickers are cool. 13 and older, stickers and lame (if you are 12 or under stop reading my blog immediately, in fact, get off the Internet entirely and go back to blowing shit up on your xbox or playing with your barbies or smoking weed). I'm sorry. I don't make the rules. Of course scratch and sniff stickers retain their coolness for life. Of this, there is no doubt. Don't tell me stickers on your laptop are a form of self expression, like on a car (if you want to express yourself give me the finger, or give me a wink, or say something out loud). And don't get me started on bumper stickers. Bumper stickers are acceptable only if you drive a piece of shit. We should all know by now how I feel about cars. They are to be loved and cared for. Not devalued with graffiti.
I will never put a bumper sticker on my car, I may, however, put a sticker on my laptop. If I do, this whole post will cease to be correct because if I do something, then it becomes cool. If I did put a sticker on my laptop it would probably say something like "stickers are for losers" or "stop checking out my laptop asshole!" or "I hate you." or "this is my laptop, not yours." or it would be a picture a dragon. Something along these lines.
