s/o creepy: lame

People who put "In Memory of Joe Brown 1984-2000" or whoever on their back windshield. What is that about? Did you buy the car in memoriam of their death? Is this the thing they get instead of a grave stone?

I have never understood this trend. I mean, the Calvin-peeing-on-everything-under-the-sun is stupid, but at least it's not presuming to be something it's not. It's redneck. It's always redneck. The ones where he's bowing to a cross? Those are stupid too.

Re: s/o creepy: lame

  • I hate the little stick families in the back windows.  Or I should say that I dislike it.  Hate is too strong.

  • I rate this post excellent.  I see a lot of rear windshield memorials, particularly around my office, and have thought the same thing.  Who would want to be memorialized in someone's back window, next to peeing Calvin?

    Hate is not too strong for me.  I hate them.  The most disturbing thing is that I saw them in Germany last spring.  Apparently window stupidity knows no borders.  I really expected better of the Germans.

  • OMG! Especially the ones with 45 animals. I automatically think their home smells bad when they have 6 cats, 4 dogs, 7 fish, a parrot, a gerbil, and an iguana. There's no way you could have than many animals on the windshield of your vehicle and your house smell like anything but urine and wet dog.

  • i hate that shiot.  i've only seen it in the midwest.  people in the northeast would never AW this much.
  • I don't like anything in windows.  I hate when people right the words all over them.  I also hate when the memorial takes up the whole window.  It just can't be safe.

    The only one I like: A big pink breast cancer ribbon on the bag of an F350 diesel and "Fight like a farmgirl."

    This is on a female ex-coworkers truck.

  • The stick people, the 'my kid is an honor student at EABOD middle school' stickers, "Mykaela is a cheerleader at DIAF academy', etc.  all annoy the shiot out of me. And they're advertisements for pedophiles to come find your kids, IMO.

  • me, too

     I'm warned DH that is I die, the best way to anger Ghost ZsaZsa is with a memorial car sticker and/or memorial Christmas light display.  I will haunt him.

  • I'm annoyed:

    - by people who think it's cute to place their registration stickers all over their license plates instead of just on top of the old one.

    - when you see a Hispanic guy driving around in a bigass truck, and (presumably) his last name in some unreadable script on the back window. What's the point?

    - by people who "decorate" their cars with "funny" bumper stickers.

    BUT. I think it's funny when you see old people driving around sporting bumper stickers for politicians that lost.  

  • i2i with stinky.

    i was judging an old couple going 10 mph below the speed limit sporting a McCain sticker. 

  • I also love the faded pound puppy, box o'kleenex, and farmer hat in the back window.  10-1 chances it's a buick.

    HA!  I know.  I can't tell you how many 'McCain/Palin 08' stickers I saw well into 2009.  

  • Anytime I see a 50something woman driving with 1000 Beanie Babies in her back window, I judge. I judge hard.
  • S/O coworkers, this is on a car in our parking lot:

    "Roses are red, my gun is blue.  I feel safe, now how about you?"

    Oh, the joys of working in BFE.

    Are you kidding, Kat? I see them all the time in my neighborhood. Granted I live in kind of a ghetto area, but still.

    Pretty sure H would like one of those.

    I hate these too.  So dumb.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
  • They make me sad, but that's mostly because around here the memorial sticker is right next to the giant Marine For Life, Semper Fi, I love my Marine, etc. stickers and the death date reflects a war time. Marines seem to love to let you know they're Marines, they've got some of the most giant stickers I've ever seen. Navy, not so much.

  • I hate the stickers on top of the windshield that say the model of car. Especially if its a crappy car. DODGE NEON. I wouldnt want to draw attention to that.

    (I have nothing against crap cars... mine is a 1994 camry, but I dont have a big window sticker that announces that)
