Gave the flying finger of Disgust to a Conf. flag yesterday

[packman]

At a four-way intersection there it was . A huge monster truck , spotless and gleaming black. I mean the thing sitting in front of me was imposing in and by itself with oversized tires emphasizing its jack-up body. The windows themselves were tinted dark black, impossible to see the driver (which I thought was illegal).
On its back bed, two flags - The American and that ass-wipe Confed. flag. And I'm not talking, little flags but large- the type you would have waving from a flagpole.
As the light changed, I honked the horn and lowered my window as I turned into the lane next to him and I could see a movement thru the glass at which point I gave him the finger. Don't know if it made an impact on him but made me feel better.

Sad to say, I've noticed more and more of these flag barges in my small Florida town since the SC flag lowering. Seems to have embolden the idiots and given them something to grandstand with. Sad little people.

1. I have to question the wisdom of giving the finger

to someone driving a truck like that in Florida. Road rage incidents are pretty common in that state, and someone deliberately provoking with a display like that is likely to be someone with a very short temper.

I agree with the sentiment, but question your wisdom in offering that salute.

2. I struggled with wisdom and prudence

for a few seconds, but - like my daily struggles with rich foods - I gave in to temptation and self-gratification. And, like with my daily struggle, it felt good even though I know I shouldn't have done it.

3. Really.....be continental, and give them the TWO fingers!!!

Or be Middle Eastern, and give them the thumb!!!

You'll feel good, they'll be confused....

4. I know the urge

I gave a big thumbs down to two old guys picketing in front of our Planned Parenthood.


It was less dangerous than your outing.
