Wallowing In Grief.

Why the hell do people wallow in grief? Do they like being miserable and sad? Do they not want to be happy?
The reason I ask is because of the stupid practice of putting flowers by the side of the road where there's been an accident. It seems to me that people want to be reminded of someones death constantly and want others to see just how much their grief means. Why? Who cares how much you loved someone who got killed? I don't. Who wants to see bunches of rotting flowers stuck to lamp posts? I don't. Who else wonders why these people don't just keep their grieving to themselves? I do. Cemetaries are for that, not streets.
Plus, I have seen this kind of shit outside pubs. There's one pub in Gorton in Manchester where this goes on. As far as I remember, some random guy stumbled into the road pissed, got hit by a car and died. 2 days later the flowers appeared as did the 'R.I.P. He was lovely, sadly missed' bullshit tributes. Why? He was drunk, too stupid to stay on a fucking pavement, fell into the road and died. Why the outpouring of grief? One less idiot in the world. A good start as far as I can see.
And I'm not saying the car driver is blameless. I've been driving before now when idiots have stepped into the road but I've either been in control of my vehicle and avoided them, despite some of them being almost determined to die, or lucky. Whoever was driving the car which hit the guy I'm refering to will live with that incident for the rest of his or her life.

But why are the rest of us subjected to someone elses grief? I don't see why we should see bunches of flowers, or similarly dumb floral tributes, at the side of the road. Aren't they hazards, in and of themselves? How many people drive past them and look to see what the pictures are and what the words say, taking their eyes off the road and basically being out of control? See? These idiots are causing more accidents! Not content with going 'oh woe is me, I've lost some random numpty from my family who was too dumb to cross a fucking road', they have to attempt to get other people killed. Bit selfish and insensitive if you ask me, which you didn't but fuck it, you get my opinion anyway.
So can we please stop this stupid practice? It's pointless, unnecessary and only makes the place look untidy when the flowers die. Do something more worthwhile with your money like donate to road safety campaigns or some such worthy cause. That makes more sense to me than wasting money on some plants that'll eventually die and go the same way as your fuckwit (insert relative or friend here) did.
Rotten, forgotten and thrown away. Move on. Life has, why can't you?
