With the price of a gallon of gas topping $4 nationally, stickers are popping up on pumps to point an accusatory finger at President Joe Biden. One Alabama gas station employee remarked that he now regularly peels off the stickers, which show Biden pointing at the amount due with the words “I did that” clad in a speech bubble.
“I take off five or six a day from our different pumps,” Perry Cagle, assistant manager of an Exxon station near Athens, told WAAY-TV in Alabama.

Another sticker has shown up in northern Virginia, showing former President Donald Trump pointing at the rising dollar figures and saying, “Biden did that.” The Biden stickers aren’t new, although the rapidly ascending pump prices might be making them more ubiquitous. Last fall, the Boston Herald reported on the sticker phenomenon when gas was “only” $3.50 per gallon. A pack of 100 of the 3-inch-high stickers costs anywhere from $10 to $13 on Amazon.

Cagle didn’t call it funny. He called it vandalism. “Put it on your car. Put it on your house,” he demanded. “Don’t vandalize private property.”
