WTF? What's with all the "In memory of..." stickers on the rear windows of so many SoCal drivers? I and the rest of the driving world doesn't give a damn about your unknown party that has passed on, so why advertise it? Not only is it quite possibly one of the silliest things I've ever seen, it's exclusive to SoCal as far as I've seen. Given I'm still fresh here, but still inquiring minds would like to know...

 

its around us to, on like every 1 out of 10 cars

 

In AL its 1 out of every 4 cars

 

I think I've only seen it once on the east coast - this is a new phenomenon to me...

 

I don't know, but I don't like them either.

 

They are all over Baltimore....

 

they are just paying respects to their loved ones. its like athletes putting their loved one's names on their shoes for gloves. i for one dont have one but i have no problem with people with those stickers

 

would you prefer the ones that have a list of all their family member including the aunts and great grand parents.


chill theyre not bothering you , if at all they make you look better.

 

I'm chill - I just think it's asinine and wanted to know why it was so popular.

 

Thats your own opinion. I have had the misfortune of loosing quite a few people over the past year and that is the way "us sticker owners" choose to honor the friends/family that we have lost. Lots of times these people can be very young with tragic death occurrences. When you leave a funeral and you see 150-200 cars with the same sticker... its pretty powerful. You see them around town and its just a constant reminder that we will not forget a person that has made a positive impact on our lives. If you don't like it then great, I understand your intitled to your own opinion... but i recommend you keep it to yourself. Maybe im just a little touchy since this issue hits close to home .... Have some respect.

 

actually i went to a funeral a few years back. my buddy's friend got into a car accident and died. that family passed out in loving memory stickers.

 

And still wear them 5-6 years after the fact? Right...

J, who is comfortable being insensitive and challenging the idiosyncracies in life

 

I think they are becoming the new "BABY ON BOARD" sticker.......

 

same here.. hits close to home...

 

Ok, I agree with you, thats a bit excessive. Part of recovering from a loved ones death is by moving on. But there are still many other legitimate cases where the death was in recent times and the healing process is not over...and I believe you could be a bit more understanding. Everyone deals with that time of pain in different terms. Hope you never have to experience what I have..

who cares? dont look if it bothers you so much..

 

I suppose I'm not ostentatious in that way, that's why I don't understand. To me it's "blingizing" the sympathy card. Nobody on the road knows who the person is, so why advertise it?

 

In that case, I'd have my eyes covered and I'd run off the road... LOL

I simply asked a question and voiced my opinion. It's nothing more than when you all complain about any other subject. Opinions are like what? Oh yeah, everybody has one.

 

I agree.......

 

I have mine on my car to celebrate and remember a good friend that died in a hit in run accident. My friend was an enthusiast. I dont see why it is asnine to remember a good friend. Kinda like the people that would tatoo a portrait of a love on on themselves. When the cops wear a black band over a badge. A flag at half staff.

I rock a different stick. Look at the red stick on my avatar. Hiro stick with my buddies name in remembrance.
