It appears that most people get alittle offended when I use my auto rear shades especially when I press the button to raise it up. On several different incidents, mostly with people following closely behind and/or have brighter lights, I raise the sunshades up and they pass me with a "zoom." I could careless because I raised the shades to minimize the headlights glare and perhaps don't want to see a car following so closely behind. 
Perhaps I should paint wordings on it that says:
"Back off" or "F __ off"
I wouldn't want something that says: "Kiss My A__" because they might do just that. :'(
Has anyone written on their sunshades lately?

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it unintentionally offends people...but some times, if they're jerks, I do it to offend them! I've also played tricks on kids or adults, when passing a series of tunnels daily, I'll put the shade up every time I'm in the tunnel and and put it down when the sun hits it, repeating as I go in and out of tunnels. You can see the kids telling their parents that it's an automatic shade, controlled by light! (Try it some time...it's pretty funny seeing people's reactions!

Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
I usually forget that I even have the thing. Maybe I should try using it.

I only use it so my Di-case models at the back will get less UV sunlight.

I use mine all the time. It is hardly ever down. I like people behind me not being able to see in.

mine is on from day 1 I love it, when some geeks are stopping by the traffic light and in my PDC is constant red, I let the shade go down, and take my shades off, and look seriously back it works 
I was thinking of writting something on it some nice like ******or "wanna play" but it will be just a dream I guess.... I would love to have some small LEDs in red
