So instead of looking on perplexed, or bothered, maybe take a sec to have some sympathy for what they are going through. I can guarantee you, it isn't good, and they don't give a #### what you think about their sticker, because it isn't for you.

Dude, I'm in the middle of this right now. My mom has stage 4 cancer and I'm literally her only immediate family member (aside from some elderly sisters in other provinces). It's all on me to help through - what are likely - her last few months. And it ain't fataing easy.
The "#### cancer" stickers make we want to drive these people off the road.
First of all, they're super tasteless. I swear all the fataing time. I probably say "fata" on here more than anyone and in each instance it's when I'd use the actual word in real life in the normal way I speak. But writing it out and putting it on my vehicle? That's pure trash. It'd be like saying it loudly at a nice restaurant or something...just totally off-putting and cringe.
Second, yes, we are all going through stuff all the time. Life isn't easy for anybody. But I don't need to share Mr. Dodge Ram's pain due to his obnoxious sticker because I have my own pain I am dealing with. I don't feel like we're brothers in arms because of the sticker; I feel like he's broadcasting his trials for attention. Just totally classless to insert your difficulties onto the general populace.
Finally, if I'm driving along listening to my music maybe trying to sneak in a smile or a bit of peace into my day, I don't need some giant tacky stacker some inbred white trash
look-at-me guy put on his vehicle to slap me back into reality. How about I choose to think about cancer on my own time, not when some tit forces it upon me.
