Hardly ever. I don't get pissed whenever I get the finger driving. I usually get pissed at myself for making stupid moves in traffic, but most of the time it's their fault, and I just wave em' off.

One time however, I was going to make a right turn, and I hit my brakes abrubtly, at the stop line because I saw this guys truck at the last minute (not even close to hitting him). When he went by me he waved his index finger side to side (telling me no) like I was a fucking child. THAT pissed me off, and I chased after him yelling "fuck you" , and giving him the finger. Everyone has that one moment.

Re: Giving people the finger

I find that a cheesy grin and extra cheesy wave pisses other drivers off more. So I do that instead.

Last Sat. night goin on a beer run am following a red car and he stops at a red light, with his right turn signal on, now it's a red of course, but there is NO one coming and he doesn't go, kinda pisses me off but oh well, then it turns green....10 seconds go by, he's not moving, honk horn, 5 seconds, he slowly goes out, i go out in the other lane and my sis proceeds to flick him off, then he(very funny) looks at us and flicks us off with both hands while sticking his tongue out like Gene Simmons. That was well worth flicking him off

I don't give the finger. I just piss people off other ways when they seem like they must get to their destination right that second. One thing that irritates me. Your on a 2 lane road. Passing is allowed the whole length. A person comes up behind you and instead of simply going around they ride right up on your ass and stay there. I'm like just go around. So I just tap my brakes a few times and they usually go around. But when I am on a road where you can't pass but they ride up on me I just let go of the gas and drop my speed by 5 mph. I drop 5 every few seconds until they back off or go around. I did that on a 2 lane road once and the guy stayed behind me until I was going 20. It was 55 mph speed limit and he could just go around. Of course he flicked me off and sped away but I'm thinking "Why stay back there so long?"

Also people that ride your ass or rush past you and cut you off only to take a turn left that was right up ahead maybe 50 feet.
