Anyone else feel like they don't get ducked enough?

I've only been ducked twice, but I also don't hang out with a crowd that goes around ducking just anyone.

Why does anyone care if someone puts a little child's toy on their truck/car?

Someone put one on mine about a year ago. I suppose it's nice if it's meant to convey they liked it. But I didn't buy it because others might like it, I bought it because I liked it.

PS: AS I was typing this ^^^ a commercial for Botox came on the tv with a young guy whining he was SO CONCERNED about a picture of himself having lines on his face that he got Botox injections!

What the hell ever happened to self confidence? Didn't ANYone grow up with people in your life that told you good things when you were a kid? Sheesh guys. Grow up and get a grip.

This is all new to me. I've had my JT for almost a year and just got ducked for the first time last weekend. It was a kind of scary experience. I had the top off, family in the Jeep slowly driving down the road at the beach when a lady walks out into the street and throws a red and orange duck into my moving jeep. I thought a homeless person was throwing their food trash in my Jeep, but the kids in the back seat were laughing and happy to see a couple ducks. Didn't know anything about ducking other than seeing ladies display them in their windshields.

Since this was my first ducking, I will always believe that the best way to duck someone is to aim at a moving topless Jeep.

You at the GPT Hive Seabee?

My wife drives a 2020 Bikini Pearl JLU Willys. My 22 JTR is on 37's and has a 3.5" lift, It stands out.
We met up at our daughters track meet and parked next to each other. She got ducked twice, I got nothing. No love for the Gladiators.

In the end I won, I ducked her good later on that night.

Dude, I can tell you so want to be ducked. Just be honest with yourself.

Ok I think I may have found my first Jeep worth ducking here on vacay...

This is the way! To be ducked in Egypt, has to be another level.

Just my kind of an observation.
With all the plastics polluting our oceans, rivers, stream, etc.
Why would a person want to contribute to this mess by placing a non recyclable item on my vehicle?
I've only be ducked twice and one of them came with this cutesy card in a clear plastic envelope attached by a rubber band, and all I saw what more trash for the landfill.

Nope, and I have to admit after nearly 3 years it's sort of a blow to the ol' self esteem.

At first I didn't care, and I guess I still don't, but people at work routinely ask me "Have you been ducked?" and I have to say with a tinge of mild disappointment, "No, not yet" and it's just an awkward pause in the conversation. I guess maybe I could lie and tell them that I got ducked on summer vacation by a girl from another town. They usually believe that one right?

I have a gator sport s - stock bumper, no lift, but nice looking tries on the stock rims. No fancy wheels, no light bars, no decals, and no flock of rubber ducks on the dash. Maybe I need to invest in a couple decoys?

First duck received today. We were at the local park. I seen a top off wrangler I suspect was the ducker. It’s not going to be something I seek out to do but plan on ducking someone else with the ducks I receive. The way I plan to handle giving a duck is to see if they have any ducks. If they have ducks I feel they’re receptive of it if the have 0 ducks I will respect they most likely choose not to participate in the duck exchange.

Went to pick up my wifey at her brother's house in Mountain Home Arkansas. Stopped at a local pizza place for dinner. I was ducked 3 times in that parking lot.

Typically mine goes from the house to the farm with an occasional fuel fill so hasn’t had much opportunity to get ducked.
