The Internet is an interesting place, full of WTF stock photos and questionable DIY anti-coronavirus solutions. But if you like your content even edgier and weirder, look no further than the subreddit r/TIHI.
Its name is an acronym for "Thanks, I Hate It" and it pretty much sums up everything you see on the sub. From a vending machine selling Pringles in a pack as opposed to a tube, to a sign warning about deer carcasses falling from trees; the 1.3 million members of r/TIHI really know how to get under each other's skin. The best part is they do it without any gore or anything. Continue scrolling and check out some of the subreddit's most popular posts!

While the exact origin of the "Thanks, I hate it" phrase is unclear, its usage saw a spike in the fall of 2017 not only on Reddit but on Tumblr as well. According to the Internet culture database Know Your Meme, it was popularly used in comments responding to strange images before it was used to title such posts.
People began using the phrase in their post titles somewhere around late 2017 and early 2018, so you can say the subreddit r/TIHI (created on November 09, 2018) is a way of keeping this meme alive.

Mashable writer Heather Dockray believes that "Thanks, I hate it" is a celebration of what they call Internet Gothic; the grotesque consisting of hellish images, perverse Photoshops, photos suggestive of late capitalism, disturbing GIFs, shitposts, nihilist memes, and all the stupid stuff we try and forget we saw on the internet.
If it wasn't for r/TIHI, the meme might've died.
"The initial idea came from another moderator of us (u/scrumbly) on another post on r/ATBGE ... He posted a comment linking to this sub and as it didn't exist yet, I decided to make it a thing," Markus, the founder of the subreddit, told Mashable in an email. "I wanted to create a place for all the beautiful posts that are both likable and hatable at the same time. But I wasn't all that serious about it, as all subs I managed before were very small as well."
This one, however, lives on. And flourishes.

It's also a bad parent, these "baby on board" people. Planks of wood are no substitution for a car seat.
I know it's supposed to be for first responders but it's gone way past that now. Now it's vinyl sticker...which is on the car even if the baby is in it or not. Imagine an accident...seeing the sign and searching for the baby. It hardly every serves that purpose anymore.
It was never meant to be a sign for first responders https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_on_board

I once saw that sign in the back of an SUV and kids standing up between the front and back seats of the same SUV.
Yeah potatogamers2 is spot on, There have been a couple of incidents where firefighters, paramedics or any first responders had no idea there was a baby in the car during an accident so they had no idea to either look in the car or look outside of the car for an ejected kid.
The stickers are a "safety first" thing to notify other drivers that the parent/driver of said stickered vehicle could be distracted by a kid, therefore to remind you, the guys seeing the sticker, that you are taking a risk assuming the driver is attentive to the other drivers on the road. This trend started in the late 90s early 00s from a company called Safety First.
Whenever I get annoyed about the person in the veeeery slow car in front of me, I tell myself that they're probably transporting an expensive cream-cake in the car and are very careful so it doesn't get smushed. It helps me more keeping my calm than a sign that says 'baby on board'. Not that I value cake more than kids, but with the way kids are strapped in, there's hardly any need to go suuuuuuper-slowly into a curve. ;-)

Hey BP you really didn't have to title each and every post you know. Especially since you made the same comment every single time. It got annoying. No need.
Agreed, and I annoyed myself as I read it in my head every time too!
