sticking up the middle finger.
or maybe it's cause i'm a girl?

i'm an itsy bit offended but it's like, YOU'RE the one that made the mistake why are you flipping others off-_-
aholes.

like today while i was driving, i was flipped off TWICE in one day.

1) on the freeway and it was going about 20 mph (traffic) and there was clearly no room for a car to switch lanes but he did it anyways and i almost crashed into him so i honked at him and he flipped me off. WTF. i hope he gets his penis chopped off or something. in that stupid ugly audi!

2) today i was going through an intersection where i had the right of way (no stop sign) and the person crossing had a stop sign and i was like literally 5 feet away BUT HE CROSSED ANYWAY.
what the hell sleep.gif and he flipped me off. damn crazy drivers. aND THEN he looked hella stupid cause he was stuck in the middle of the intersection cause kids had to cross. sleep.gif

I got flipped off once when I was getting lunch. The parking space at the place I got my lunch was at an angle facing the sidewalk. Behind me was an intersection. The light was red so I began to back up until I was fully ready to drive off. Then the light turns green and these two girls in a corolla was in a rush or something and almost hit me. Then they quickly got into the lane of oncoming traffic to pass me and flipped me off. Drivers these days.

I don't think I've ever been given the bird while driving. Oh wait, yeah it did happen. Some like power speeder dodging cars doing 60 in a 40 was pissing me off cutting people off, honking, being hella impatient, and my friend and I stayed side by side going 40 and he flipped us both off. But it made my day.

I flipped someone off today. A old dodge van cuts into my lane with less than 5 feet to spare (both of us going about)15mph), he cut into my lane, and over to another without signaling or even looking just to get to a turning lane. I didn't even get a chance to honk, because I was so involved in slamming my brakes to avoid a accident. As I drove by the van, give him a nice finger gesture...

I usually don't honk, because in some instances its just stupid. In a situation, I rather be focused on avoiding the accident rather than honking and thinking that would solve something... then I give my finger gesture of approval to their faces as I drive by.

I also tend to do it to drivers who do stupid things like slamming their brakes when I'm right behind them to grab a parking spot they just saw, often blocking traffic while they make a bad attempt to parallel park in a spot they don't quite fit. Double parkers who park large vehicles near a corner and forcing people to manuver around dangerously (because turning cars cannot see you nor can you see them). Basically anything that is stupid and compromises the safety of other drivers including me, I get pretty ticked off.

I haven't got the bird flipped on me I don't think..can't remember. But my brother got the middle finger the other day. He was going to change lanes and the car was in his blind spot so he was going to change and saw it and went back to his. The car started honking non stop for like 1 minute. The car started speeding up past us..driven by a stupid spanish kid. And we were side by side, then he slowed down and my brother was going like 35 behind a car. Then he sped up past him and gave him the finger, I in return stuck my hand outside the car..I was in the passenger side giving him the finger and my friend in the back did as well. Too bad my brother didn't speed up next to him..and side by side by a red light. I would have went at him in his face.

I was on the leftest lane on an interstate highway going around 80 on a 65 zone and the guy behind me passed me by and he was throwing his fist and yelling at me O_o I don't think he flipped me off though,, but I got freaked out because I thought I did something wrong (and I don't think I did anything wrong,, it's not like I was going too slow or something O_o)

The last time I got flipped off, I followed the guy to his house and waited until it was dark to throw a rock through his window. You should do the same, if you have enough time.

It's funny, I got the bird once when some dbag was weaving all over the freeway at 85--he gave me the finger for driving a measly 70 and when I was pulling into the parking structure at school I looked in my rear view and guess who? smile.gif

Normally I'm the one who'd doing the flipping off. To who you ask? People who cut me off or people who drive 100+ mph on the highway and when im going like 85 they tail gate me. Brake check+ finger for them.

1. A person might be driving and signaling to get in. If you don't let them in (purposely or not) they feel they need to get in so they force their way in thinking you saw them and chose to ignore them. Hence the finger.

2. He thought it was a 4 way stop.

Those are my guesses. Some people are just very expressive.

Personally I'd never do it.. at least not at the person, maybe sometimes I'll get mad and do it knowing or at least hoping they won't see, just for the sake of doing it haha. I mean.. there are people who have hardcore road rage in LA and I would hate to get shot haha.

LMAO, I think some people don't really think when the are giving the finger. These post are hella funny, from stalking to giving your own finger. Its a harsh world out there and road rage is at an all time high. Its a nasty world out there, just becareful who your flicking off, or else your gonna get the people who like to hold grudges because you cut them off because you were trying to merge in. People don't think straight when it involves cars because something about when you drive somewhere and your in a rush, you tend to cut corners and are indecisive at bad times; unless you've taken and mastered a defensive driving course. I let people merge on and give the right of way, karma plays its part in my life daily; hopefully it pays off elsewhere.

I think the only time that i've used my middle finger were times when guys try to wave and smile at me disgustingly, and i would usually flip them off as they are waving to me. haha, sad to be them. other than that, i usually don't flip anyone off because i tend to be the one that piss drivers off. haha i mean, not that i do want to intentionally, it just happens. -__- though, i have been flipped off twice, once because the girl was tailgating me and i did a brake check on her and the other time was when i was going up hill and i was going extremely slow so i didnt have to rev my engine for a higher rpm becuase then i'd be wasting gas and at that piont, i was broke and couldnt risk losing gas. hehe and the persn behind me started speeding up and flipped me off. i thought that was ridiculous but funny at the same time. If i knew he was in such a hurry, i would have driving slower. haha
