I just laugh... peoples immaturity just amuses me. Im with magician, I'll do something stupid like blowing them a kiss just to antagonize or just a smile and a wave like you are being friendly. Usually this will piss them off more. I once had a guy chase me down, open his car door (not just the window but the whole door!) and tried spitting at my car pacing me at like 45 mph... that was hilarious

my friends and i were discussing this. when you get flipped off, or when you see someone driving like a jackass and have the urge to flip THEM off, here are some other options:

-Give them the devil horns and yell 'ROCK ON! YEAH!'
-Give them a big smile and a thumbs up
-Give them the spock, that'll really throw them for a loop

If its a chick flicking me off, I like to give the international sign for being a cunning linguist. You know, two fingers with my tongue gyrating in the middle?

That seems to be an effective way to ruin their day and it gives me the giggles.

I hold up my cameraphone and either take pics / vid or motion like I am.

It's amazing how the prospect of being accountable for their actions tends to put people back on "good behavior."

and a BIG smile translates to "Nice move, Exlax."

Here is a little something to consider when you are tempted to flip someone off.



Flip One Off? - Why should you not piss off a woman driver?

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck causing him to have to drive on to the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and flipped the woman off.
"Man, that guy is stupid" I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic and here's why:

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass something like a new car every 40 feet per lane. That's 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars I pass every day. Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that's 18,000.

In any given group of females 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642.

According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.

According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.

And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.

According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.

That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

Flip one off?....... I think not.
