Heard someone scream out their car window at me earlier today. No idea what they actually said so I will assume they were complimenting me.
Not sure if people realise how difficult it is to hear what you are saying when you shout to someone going the opposite direction. Especially when it's windy too.
I read a comment somewhere that said don't give the middle finger back, instead give a thumbs down because somehow it feels more offensive. I dont know why, but i completely agree. Sadly I have yet to use this despite having a few opportunities but completely forgot about it in the heat of the moment.
I completely get the idea, but for me, if someone cheers on my stupidity, it makes me instantly feel shame. Have someone told you you're doing a great job when you very obviously couldn't be doing worse just to get a rise? I feel it's a similar thing. Either way, you do you.
I mean I'm not the best driver okay? But I was once the passenger in a car and this dude road raged at me specifically (I laughed when he was screaming obscenities at us) and the dude sped ahead of us at 65 miles per h, then threw the largest potato I have ever seen and I have farmed in Idaho. That potato he threw at us was the size of a small watermelon I swear. Anyways it didn't clear the back of his car at 65 even with air resistance what a chump but it was weird as fuck.

I've done this for decades. Nothing like a thumbs down and a big grin to absolutely RUIN someone's day when they're being an asshole.

Essentially, you're down-voting.
Excellent play.

Saw a bumper sticker last week that said "Horn if you're honky" and it's so stupid and I can't help laughing every time I think about it.

This joke gets funnier the more badly blurred the text becomes.
