    I do pretty regularly flip people off on the road when they are acting crazy, but one time a car almost side swiped me and I honked and flipped the driver off as second nature. The young girl driving the car was mortified and I really hated the way I acted. Can’t avoid using a car in Amerikkka unfortunately and I see how it can turn people into monsters.

      yeah i try to enter a zen state, just like refuse to get mad, because the truth is there’s nothing we can do to improve other drivers. Pretty much the only things I do are honk when someone’s going the wrong way on a one way and flash my lights when someone’s driving dark at night.

      👎 may still get you killed with the wrong person, but a little less aggressive while still getting the point across

      i’m also a fan of Thumbing one’s nose as it communicates derision, but also you look silly doing it so it’s comes off more lighthearted
