Am I the only person who hates these road side memorials?
yep
In some areas, they have laws which prohibit such things. Other areas allow it for only a certain amount of time. This ‘useful’ information brought to you by AllGreatAllTheTime.
OK someone died. Get over it, you must accept death as you do birth. It happens and hiding from it or pretending it doesn’t happen just puts you in a delusional world so you can sleep better at night. Stressing over it doesn’t help. Grieve and have remorse, but get on with your life.

No. I especially hate them when the sign is dedicated to the one who was drunk driving.
No, you aren’t. Dang things are a distraction.
No. I especially hate them when someone takes over a private individual’s land to put one up. The homeowner may want to forget that someone died horribly on his front lawn. There was one here where a family built one alongside a highway. Grass grew up around it and a mowing crew couldn’t see it so they mowed right over it. The family threatened to put it up with cement and rebar so that if a mowing crew did it again, they’d be seriously injured when the mower hit the rebar. Nice memorial, huh? Could have been solved if they’d gone out there once a month with their own lawn mowers and kept the memorial neat and tidy, but apparently that was too much work.
The memorials are ok for the aftermath of an incident, but if peeps demand it be kept there for too long then it is annoying. It’s almost as annoying as these stupid signs placed at the roadside saying “Happy Birthday Jessica” with loads of balloons hanging off it. The last thing a driver needs to know is that it’s some nonce’s birthday somewhere close by. It’s stupid and pointless. Celebrate your birthday with the people who care about you, no one else does.
nah, i hate them too, there are dozens arund here, often near bad corners or other hazards in the road. last thing a driver needs is more distraction.
ok put some folowers there for a week or 2 but get over it
I hate them and the people who get memorial t-shirts. Isnt it a little awkward walking around everywhere with a picture of your dead friend on your shirt?
I’m with you. I hate them. Near my home was a fatal drunk driver crash (single car accident.) The brother of the deceased built a six foot ornate cross and put it right on the side of the road (less than 12″ from the driving lane.) The county sheriff took that down pronto. So he rented space across the road from the land owner and erected *three* full-sized crosses that are illuminated at night. It’s downright creepy.
No.
They’re so distracting. I take care to display the heads of my enemies thrust unto pikes outside my house, and don’t need cutesy crap like that polluting my intended message of death and terror.
Your evilness caused me to laugh heartily, good sir.
Not at all. Why should we have to get gushy cause your kid got drunk and hit a tree. World keeps spinning people. Sensitivity, and these memorials are why we have graveyards. Warship you fav dead person there and quit causing traffic and begging for attention on public roadways. Let’s face it, your loved one/friend is worm food and has no idea that you have built a shrine to thier predicament. This is all for those fail people that need some lame closure and a feeling of self importance.
Nope, I hate them.
Can you picture the highways ten years from now?
Ugh, half of these people were probably driving drunk.
….. no, you are not!!
No.
Reminds me of the “grampa’s finally dead” sale.
That chimney is as tilted as that tree.
Maybe they are getting rid of Brads stuff.He don’t need it anymore.
Heh heh.
Brad loved those Beanie babies…sniff…
I always hate when the memorial on the roadside is there longer than 10 years. If we keep that up we will have more memorials than space to put them.
Wait tell they start doing that for each pet that gets hit on the road

You were the best kitty and everyone in the world will miss you
Then take cat toys, catnip bouquets and cat treats to rot on the side of the road with it.
Is it just me or does this sign look fake? Idk. It coulda been a joke. And yeah I hate those roadside memorials too. >:(
Yes, I hate roadside memorials, almost as much as I hate people who don’t take down their yard sale signs when the sale is over. Ya lazy bast@rds, thats littering ! My neighborhood looks like $hit from all the damn yard sale signs on the trees and phone poles, light poles, sign posts, etc.
People are still selling Beanie Babies???
my downstairs nabour commited suicide last night in the swing park next to my house
It’s spelled “neighbor” not “nabour”.
“nabour”…. rofl. you should follow his example my friend, lol.
He should have gone to a jazz park then.
yep, that surely is a dumb place to bury someone. if you can’t afford a cemetery, perhaps try cremation or a burial at sea.
Shoulda just chopped him up and flushed him with the goldfish.
Roadside memorials are the fail here.
I’m not a fan of these either. Your loved one was laid to rest somewhere, decorate that. These roadside things are large (and usually tacky) distractions that could cause someone else to lose their life on that spot.
I also picture a scenario where you’ve got one cross, someone keeps going out there to maintain it, gets hit, then you have two crosses. The person taking care of those gets run over, now you’ve got three. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I assume “wash, rinse” refers to the blood spatter on the memorials….
More of a win if you ask me. Conspicuous grieving by proxy is SO annoying.
We had one put on our yard when i was 5 or 6 some drunk slut hit the tree in the middle of our front yard her family put up this big 2 foot high bead-dazzled cross (we are a Jewish family the big cross alone was offensive) on the tree she hit and laid all kind of junk on the lawn her drunk highness tore up with her car. Mom and Dad where nice, and let them keep it till she was laid to rest about 4 days. Then took it down on the 5th the family came back and called the cops on my parents. We turned it around and made them pay for the lawn repair and tree the girl damaged.
I get the PUBLIC rode ones, a little tasteful sign that gone a month later or something; but on PRIVATE lawns, the family can drop dead with there loved one!
With us it wasn’t even the curb they demanded to make a shrine. It was the MIDDLE of our fount lawn! The girl half knocked the tree in to my mom and dads bed room and her family acted like we where he jerks saying take a hike.
If they wanted a permanent memorial that bad, they should have offered to buy your house. Sheesh
Last year my neighbours had a similar experience to yours.
Some drunken ass decided to drive into their garage and kill him. Except in my neighbours case, the drivers entire extended family, aunties, uncles, cousins, second cousins, third cousins, friends from church etc etc, easily 100+ people all felt the need come along, a few car loads at a time and have a good cry and lay some flowers and wreaths down in the middle of his front garden.
It went on for weeks.
And in the meantime he had to explain to his kids, that not only did someone just die in their front garden, but also why there are twenty people outside singing f*cking hymns in the middle of dinner.
Wow, what a long story
I hate roadside memorials more than I hate cars with “In memory of” decals on them. Are they going to keep that POS 2002 Neon for the rest of their lives to maintain the “memorial”?
