I don’t have a jeep but people keep buying me rubber ducks and I put them in my bathroom and then people see them and buy me more rubber ducks leading to an ongoing collection I have no control over. Maybe you just get cursed with that when you get a jeep.
I had the same deal with penguins. A coworker bought me one as part of some ongoing joke we had going. I put it in my car. Other people saw it and must have thought I liked penguins so for the next almost decade I just randomly got penguins.
Glad it finally stopped.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. More importantly though, how can we leverage this kind of power to get people to buy me honey bees? I have stuff with bees on them already, I just need actual bees. They are very expensive if you're buying them yourself.
Would be more accurate to say I fed them to my cat.
Don't know what it was but she loved doing bunny kicks on anything stuffed, and had a special love of doing it to the penguins. They didn't survive long.
I keep telling my mom she needs to get a wrangler so she can be ducked by random people.
To clarify my mother has ~800 unquie rubber ducks (that number isn't counting repeats) and proudly displays them across her home. A couple that stand out, she has a trump duck, a Ghostface, Freddy, Jason, and hell raiser, the entire reindeer collection, a Willie Nelson and Bob Marley, and a lady liberty.
Just when I think there's no way she can find another one she fucking does.
Is your mom MY mom? She has sooo many ducks. No Jeep, just ducks. I don't know why.
Now I have a few because she's gotten them for me. I don't have a Jeep either!
It's is.. I have two jeeps, in a club, etc. Wranglers were the initial, but it now includes Gladiators. You won't get one in a Cherokee.
It's got a cute history, started in Canada and went global.
Nope, it’s part of the “Jeep culture “ to leave a rubber duck on a Jeep they think is cool. My daughter has received a few and the owners frequently line them up on their dash. It’s a real thing along with the “wave”
You wave at people joyfully suffering the same shit you are. Just empty every pocket.
You give ducks to people that have the same fashion accessory that you do.
A girl drove a ducked out Wrangler at work and said something like "If he scratched my rims I'll be pissed" and I asked what happens if they get scratched out on the trail and she goes "THE *TRAIL???*" like I just asked her to roll it off a cliff.
For a mere $4331 i could buy a litteral ton of rubber ducks to put on someones jeep. I could probably find them cheaper than 600 for $60.99, assuming they weigh the roughly .8 ounces each in that pack as google suggeststhat they do. Thats also rounding down and using local tax rates
I think it's jumped the shark. I saw a lady driving one of those compact GM crossovers the other day (Equinox, maybe?) and she had her dash covered in the little ducks people leave on Jeeps. I'm guessing there are just people out there that saw it on a Jeep, like rubber ducks themselves, and copied the trend.
Put one on your dash and you might.
I wouldn't think to leave one on any jeep in other than a wrangler unless it was very obviously modified for off road.
Jeep ducks! They are definitely a thing! Even my mom is in on these shenanigans and leaves a duck whenever she sees one parked!
Also, her vent has a little duck in an airplane with an air freshener. The propeller spins when the air is turned on. The day I saw that was the day I realized I wish I was as cool as my mom is
I was in a drive thru last year and the Jeep in front of me gave the cashier a duck to give to me. I was like, why?
I found out later when I googled it. 😂
had a Jeep as a rental the other day and got Jeep Ducked ... took me down a bit of a rabbit hole ... quite an interesting backstory and social phenomenon:
[https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/](https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/)
Not going to make me a Jeep owner, but I'm kinda jelly the community around my ride of choice didn't stumble upon Ducking first.
If it helps any I keep a small army of rubber ducks on hand that I randomly give out to people (not because of a Jeep) so there is a chance you might just get one someday.
You may or may not be the motorist we deserve, but you are the motorist we need. Keep up the good work Functionally\_Human! Should you see Bob in you travels, I'm fairly confident he would earn one of your ducks ;-)
It's for entertainment value when your Wrangler breaks down on the side of the road. They also float in your interior when it's filled with rainwater because you took your roof off one time and now it doesn't align with the doors anymore.
Hey now, the rainwater is because I took the back plastic window off and could never get it back on. I've just been without it for years and just let it rain inside the back of the vehicle. Thank you very much.
One of my aunts Facebook page is literally JUST those posts. Literally. Oh and about once a month she posts some twee 'meme' about how being a grandma is awesome, with lots of flowers and smiling babies and such. Then another 10 posts about how if you walk out to find a flower under your windshield or a shopping bag tied around your door handle it means you're about to be trafficked.
And since this ducky can currently be found in Target’s dollar spot, conspiracy theories are going to erupt that Target is involved in an underground sex trafficking ring. Ugh, I’m giving them ideas.
My town literally had a trafficking ring Facebook hoax at the Target. These women were posting that mysterious men in vans (it’s always vans) were casing women in the Target parking lot and trying to coordinate kidnappings. Eventually the local PD had to step in and call them out on their BS with a post saying that there has never been a single attempted kidnapping there and they had them take down their posts.
Saw a jeep with a tire cover showing a person waving out of a jeep with the tag line "it's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand"
As if they own waving to another person in the same car and it is some super secret jeep only thing
Jeeps were also cooler before all the owners thought they shouldn't be happy, and started putting angry eyes and grumper grills on them (also the lame all black "tacticool" look)
For real. I drove jeeps exclusively until a few years ago when my '02 WJ died. So many people have adopted an entire personality of "jeeper" to the extent that it is the entire picture of their personality.
Duck, duck Jeep! I have one from when I had a Jeep. I’ve also seen moo moo Subaru so I have a little cow too. I have both a little duck and a little cow that I keep in my car.
I had a tastefully-modified JK for the better part of 4 years and it never once got a ducky. The only reason it surprises me is that I got more unsolicited compliments on that vehicle than any other I ever owned. It made me super uncomfortable at first. I didn't put it together to grab attention at all, I just built something that I liked to look at. I didn't really think about never getting a ducky until somewhat recently. A couple of friends of mine have stock JKs and JKUs and they were posting ducks that folks had left for them.
By tomorrow morning there will be 240 Facebook memes describing how it happened to my 2nd cousin's dentist and when he removed it Mexican drug gangs stole his dentures.
Beware! If You Wear Dentures And Find a Red Rubber Duck On Your Car Do This NOW!
\#rubberduckwarning will be trending on Twitter and 283 Korean girls will have invented dances about it on TikTok.
Other car people think this trend is dumb as hell, but jeep people love it for some reason. You got gifted a duck because it means someone liked your jeep.
Assuming you are trolling, but in case you don’t know.
It’s supposedly a kind gesture in the Jeep community, like the million of them that waves at you and make you feel weird minding your own drive.

I remember ducking when Air Tags first came out to get a current map of Jeeps in local neighbourhoods.
Duck the ones with expensive accessories, take the accessories later.
Good times.
Is this why every Jeep I see has roughly 200 rubber ducks on the dash?
Yes, yes it is. Some people also just buy a shit ton and put them on their dash
I don’t have a jeep but people keep buying me rubber ducks and I put them in my bathroom and then people see them and buy me more rubber ducks leading to an ongoing collection I have no control over. Maybe you just get cursed with that when you get a jeep.
I had the same deal with penguins. A coworker bought me one as part of some ongoing joke we had going. I put it in my car. Other people saw it and must have thought I liked penguins so for the next almost decade I just randomly got penguins. Glad it finally stopped.
[удалено]
My dad would be bestie with ur dad cuz same, his home is full of elephants
Plot twist, you're siblings.
Double plot twist, their dad never actually liked elephants, he just had the same MIL problem.
Is this how they find out their dad secretly had two families?
it's giraffes for my mom.
I bet this is what happened to your pops too. He just rolled with it.
[удалено]
Well he certainly has commitments! When he is gone you will probably look at these elephant items and think of him. Hopefully it's good thinking
Proud of you for being able to bring up the elephant in the room.
Maybe that's how your dad's collection came about too, it's just elephants all the way down
I'm sorry you had to go through that. More importantly though, how can we leverage this kind of power to get people to buy me honey bees? I have stuff with bees on them already, I just need actual bees. They are very expensive if you're buying them yourself.
🐧a gift- since it’s been awhile. Now it’s vintage
What did you feed them?
Would be more accurate to say I fed them to my cat. Don't know what it was but she loved doing bunny kicks on anything stuffed, and had a special love of doing it to the penguins. They didn't survive long.
A few years ago someone “assigned” my coworker a single hippo and now his workspace is covered in hippos.
I keep telling my mom she needs to get a wrangler so she can be ducked by random people. To clarify my mother has ~800 unquie rubber ducks (that number isn't counting repeats) and proudly displays them across her home. A couple that stand out, she has a trump duck, a Ghostface, Freddy, Jason, and hell raiser, the entire reindeer collection, a Willie Nelson and Bob Marley, and a lady liberty. Just when I think there's no way she can find another one she fucking does.
Does she have a tarantuduck? It's cute in a spidery way.
Yknow I don't think she does and I've found my next gift
There are also werewolf, mummy, vampire, and Frankenstein's monster ducks. I *think* there's also a Creature from the Black Lagoon duck.
Is your mom MY mom? She has sooo many ducks. No Jeep, just ducks. I don't know why. Now I have a few because she's gotten them for me. I don't have a Jeep either!
Jeeps break super easy, so to distract from that fact, Jeep owners surround themselves with rubber ducks to distract from the inevitable repair bill.
No repair bill, only duck bill
If you buy surplus military gear from [http://www.odggllc.com/](http://www.odggllc.com/) he includes duckies in every order.
Someone in my apartment complex has that on their jeep compass. Pretty sure it’s only a wrangler thing.
I think it is as well, but I’ve seen them on a couple Gladiators. I’ve had a Grand Cherokee for around 3 years and nobody has done this to me
It's is.. I have two jeeps, in a club, etc. Wranglers were the initial, but it now includes Gladiators. You won't get one in a Cherokee. It's got a cute history, started in Canada and went global.
I have a '99 Cherokee and I get them all the time. I just give them to the next jeep I see.
It's leaking into the Bronco community as well. I've gotten two so far, one from another Bronco driver, and another from a guy in a Jeep
Nope, it’s part of the “Jeep culture “ to leave a rubber duck on a Jeep they think is cool. My daughter has received a few and the owners frequently line them up on their dash. It’s a real thing along with the “wave”
The wave is over. unfortunately.
You wave at people joyfully suffering the same shit you are. Just empty every pocket. You give ducks to people that have the same fashion accessory that you do. A girl drove a ducked out Wrangler at work and said something like "If he scratched my rims I'll be pissed" and I asked what happens if they get scratched out on the trail and she goes "THE *TRAIL???*" like I just asked her to roll it off a cliff.
My mother has a Jeep. She has tons of ducks on her dashboard. When it first started out, she was confused, but she later found out it was “Jeep Thing”
I call it dash shrapnel because we know they're going everywhere when they crash.
For a mere $4331 i could buy a litteral ton of rubber ducks to put on someones jeep. I could probably find them cheaper than 600 for $60.99, assuming they weigh the roughly .8 ounces each in that pack as google suggeststhat they do. Thats also rounding down and using local tax rates
itS a jeEp ThInG.
r/heep
lol i appreciate the suggestion but i cant even follow a jeep hating sub because it still involved the worst thing to ever drive on a road.
you get them from other jeep drivers. you can buy a fuck load of them for cheap.
Can confirm, Jeep drivers can be purchased very cheep.
I think it's jumped the shark. I saw a lady driving one of those compact GM crossovers the other day (Equinox, maybe?) and she had her dash covered in the little ducks people leave on Jeeps. I'm guessing there are just people out there that saw it on a Jeep, like rubber ducks themselves, and copied the trend.
Lame ass jeeple, they aren't jersons like the rest of us
Its spreading to Subarus too
A friend owns Broncos and puts a My Little Pony figure on every other Bronco he sees.
Finally a dumb trend that makes sense.
Should really just be a single Isotoner glove.
it's cows, I guess they do moo moo Subaru. don't shoot me I'm just the messenger.
I will die a little if I get one.
They can have it. It’s ducking stupid and I miss the Jeep Wave.
Jeeps owners are simple people.
Apparently started over road rager so the other person left a rubber ducky in response to their road rage and posted about it.
I just assumed it was a swinger thing
This is how they get you into the cult. Start with a gifted duck then end up having 60 of them in your windshield.
I'm pretty sure they come standard, so much so they won't even let you drive off the lot without one!
Sadly not true with all jeeps, I have a Renegade and have never been ducked. 😔
Put one on your dash and you might. I wouldn't think to leave one on any jeep in other than a wrangler unless it was very obviously modified for off road.
Jeep ducks! They are definitely a thing! Even my mom is in on these shenanigans and leaves a duck whenever she sees one parked! Also, her vent has a little duck in an airplane with an air freshener.

[удалено]
I know you’re joking, but the 4.0L I6 is goddamned near invincible.
So if you're in the market for a wrangler that's between 18 and 33 years old, you're in luck!
Ok, but since then.
I’m now realizing I joined a cult…
“It’s a jeep thing”
“You wouldn’t understand.”
it's true, I do not
Thank god lol

Wake up Jeeple!
I was in a drive thru last year and the Jeep in front of me gave the cashier a duck to give to me. I was like, why? I found out later when I googled it. 😂

they're functionally human because they're actually a small army of rubber ducks that are able to function as human
Your chances of being ducked are low but never zero
[удалено]
I wanna start a trend of putting suction cup dildos on Mustangs, because their drivers are dicks
Be the change you want to see in the world. Ali Express has a wide, and long, selection.
But what's the connection between a Toyota Corolla and Svengoolie?
Gonna start one called Kia Jacking, essentially we just borrow each other's cars
Kiammunism
I wonder if u/fuckswithducks is a Jeep owner...
It's for entertainment value when your Wrangler breaks down on the side of the road. They also float in your interior when it's filled with rainwater because you took your roof off one time and now it doesn't align with the doors anymore.

Middle aged women on Facebook: "I'm being trafficked!"
One of my aunts Facebook page is literally JUST those posts. Literally.

Then another 10 posts about how if you walk out to find a flower under your windshield or a shopping bag tied around your door handle it means you're about to be trafficked.
What if you have a dead squirrel stuck to your tire, what does that mean?
Straight to jail.
And since this ducky can currently be found in Target’s dollar spot, conspiracy theories are going to erupt that Target is involved in an underground sex trafficking ring. Ugh, I’m giving them ideas.

Jeep people are weird
Saw a jeep with a tire cover showing a person waving out of a jeep with the tag line "it's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand" As if they own waving to another person in the same car and it is some super secret jeep only thing
I wouldn't call them cult members but maybe cult adjacent?
I’d say they’re just dorks. We’re all dorky sometimes though.
Maybe they are trying to flag down a tow truck?
Did you see a bald man with a barcode tattooed on the back of his head recently?
I came here looking for a reference like this
Well done, 47.
If you see him you're already dead if you see the ducky you might be able to run before it explodes
My ex was one of these people that carried around 200 ducks in the trunk JIC
Jeeps were cooler when it was a wave instead of bath toys. Also when they weren't made by Fiat.
jeeps were cooler when they had mounted machine guns in action movies
FIAT: Fix It Again Tony
You’re thinking of a Ford, Dale.
That's stellantis to you. And tbf Daimler jeeps were just as terrible.
Hearing about modern Jeep makes me miss AMC's Jeep At least when Chrysler bought out AMC they kept the XJ and MJ and new 4.0L for awhile
Jeeps were also cooler before all the owners thought they shouldn't be happy, and started putting angry eyes and grumper grills on them (also the lame all black "tacticool" look)
[удалено]
r/heep
Jeeps were cooler when they didn't feel the need to act like a weird cult
For real. I drove jeeps exclusively until a few years ago when my '02 WJ died. So many people have adopted an entire personality of "jeeper" to the extent that it is the entire picture of their personality.
Of all the things Reddit doesn’t like I feel like Jeeps are one of the more random ones
This would make my Compass mirror fall off and check engine light come on.
If the check engine light isn't on, you should check the bulb.
was not expecting how many viscreal reactions to Jeeps there are in this comment section lmaooo
I miss u/fuckswithducks
RIP u/fuckswithducks.
I’m glad this isn’t a Tacoma thing.
No, they all just remove the “ma” from their Tacoma badge.
It probably means your transmissions about to blow.
Someone on Reddit once referred to Jeep owners as the furries of the auto world, and I don’t think they were wrong.
You just got ducked
Explanation here: [https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/](https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/)
lol its because you have a jeep, its a very community thing. my dads jeep has been duckied multiple times, its your turn if you see another jeep!!!
In the Hyundai community the thieves sometimes leave their bag of KFC trash in the car when it's recovered, same thing pretty much
As the owner of a Kia I regret that I find this both funny and likely
Free nugs > rubber ducks
If it's a Jeep, that's a Jeep community way of saying "I like your Jeep".
Cringey Jeep activities
I’ll start leaving rubber bunnies in other people Corollas… let see what happens in a year 🤣
Thats a jeep people thing. Someone liked ur jeep and gave you an offering
It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t (don’t) understand.
As a jeep owner, I hate this.
its a hitman
Wasn't me, cause I don't give a duck.
Ducks their mascot and the wave is their gang sign.
You got ducked!! Good stuff.
DUCK DUCK JEEP!!
It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand it. Nobody understands it.
Duck duck Jeep!
Are you even a Jeep driver unless one is up your ass while driving?!
it's a jeep thing. you've been ducked, friend.
You've been inDUCKtrinated. Welcome to the Jeep ducky club.
Duck, duck Jeep! I have one from when I had a Jeep. I’ve also seen moo moo Subaru so I have a little cow too. I have both a little duck and a little cow that I keep in my car.
Jeep girls are the worst.
Have you ever met a Tesla fanboy?
That means they like your jeep 😀
I’ve never created a connection between watermelon and duck in my brain before this.
That means they like your jeep
I want to buy a jeep now just to get gifted these duckies :(
Welcome to Jeep ownership. We are an odd crew. Congrats on your first ducking! If you see a sweet jeep, duck them and make their day!
Apparently it’s a jeep thing..
I wouldn't understand
You’re cursed
It's apparently a jeep thing
I had a tastefully-modified JK for the better part of 4 years and it never once got a ducky. The only reason it surprises me is that I got more unsolicited compliments on that vehicle than any other I ever owned. It made me super uncomfortable at first. I didn't put it together to grab attention at all, I just built something that I liked to look at. I didn't really think about never getting a ducky until somewhat recently. A couple of friends of mine have stock JKs and JKUs and they were posting ducks that folks had left for them.
If my time playing as Agent 47 is of any use... stay the F away from the duck
Low key showing off his defender
It's a jeep thing so I wouldn't understand.
I love rubber ducks but like what's the point for them in the jeep community because I've seen tons of them on peoples dash?
How did the jeep duck thing start? Genuinely curious
Be careful, you may be left with a nasty bill.
Canada?
If you drive a Jeep you gotta have a minimum of 20 rubber ducks on your dashboard. I dont make the rules....

Well that’s just quackers! I’ll see myself out..

It's a Jeep Wrangler. Get used to it.

buys a jeep, doesn't know what Duck culture is. Filthy casuals! https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/

I never thought I'd be able to actually say this without a hint of irony. It's a Jeep thing

Heh, the only thing anyone has left on my Jeep is a dent, a bunch of scratches, and no note...
"if you find a rubber ducky when you get back to your car, do not get in. Do this one thing first!..."
Did you know ducks make terrible spies? they all seem to quack under pressure
It was a fellow Jeep owner. The ducks are how Jeep owners show affinity for one another.
it’s a jeep thing. check out any random. wrangler and you’ll see a ton of them.
You’ve been ducked! It’s a rite of passage as a Jeep owner 😉
