I just got Flipped Off!
So I'm on my morning commute when this middle-aged white guy in an SUV (don't you love it when stereotypes come to life?) pulls alongside me, two lanes over, and starts honking like mad. When I look over at him, he gives me the bird and speeds off.

Yeah, I have an Obama bumper sticker on my car.

And you know, it's just that sort of subtle, nuanced approach to the issues of the day that makes we want to re-evaluate my whole political worldview.

:eyes:

4. Some chick in a Smart Car did the same thing to me
in PA, two years ago.

She had her roof down, windows opened, so I pulled in front of her and turned on the washers in both the front and the back.

Let's just say she probably won't flip anyone off again too soon. She got fucking drenched.

5. Brave patriotic teabaggers strike again!
Of course, they protect their own anonymity & never stick around to defend their outrageous attacks on free speech - BUT THEY'RE REAL AMERCINS!

8. That was the extent of the teabagger's free speech
The whole vocabulary in one gesture.

A real educated teabagger will become a senator, when his vocabulary expands to "Tough shit!".

Anyway, I think it's for the best that he flipped off the OP and drove on. If he stuck around, it could only go downhill.

:hi:

7. That used to piss me off.
.
Now, it makes me laugh.
.
I waggle all my fingers at 'em in an adorable
little wave (if you saw me, you'd appreciate
the irony in that even more).
.
Good for my soul... and really, really, REALLY
pisses them off.
.
Not, of course, that I had the slightest intention
of doing THAT.

13. I get that from time to time.
Edited on Tue Mar-30-10 02:48 PM by mcollins
More often when I have to drive down to Colorado Springs. Red-Neck Central.

I always wave and smile back. It pisses them off more.

19. I carry a cardboard sign, and they have NO comeback, mostly open mouthed shock
written on the white bottom cardboard from a Lipton Green tea 12 pack in bold permanent marker.


BITE ME ASSHOLE


and on the other side


LEARN TO DRIVE



It shuts them down.


I'm thinking of some new ones


REAGAN SUCKED AS A PRESIDENT

Teaparty MEANS SUCK THIS
