Giving people the finger

Do you ever give people the finger while driving? I don't like to do it because I always feel like it makes me look like an ass.

Does it piss you off if someone else does it to you? I wouldn't know because no one ever did it to me, haha. What do you think?

Re: Giving people the finger

I only seem to give people the finger when I get on I459 coming home from work around Birmingham. I never use my horn; just roll the window down, yell out dumb-f*** and hit 'em with the bird. 5 o'clock seems to make people idiots around here.

Re: Giving people the finger

If it is deserved than it goes up, with or without a combo of "get the fuck off the road, moron!!!!" and honking. I don't care if people flip me off because i may have deserved or not. Peace-

I have never seen anyone be so sincere about giving the finger, you can see in his eyes that he means it.

Re: Giving people the finger

I don't do it because it's not a good idea. All it does is cause road rage.

Sometimes, but usually I find that a sarcastic thumbs up and a smile is far more effective. That really pisses them off.

Re: Giving people the finger

No, I think it's a stupid gesture. I just throw my hands up in the air and go 'what the fuck?!'

I know I have once or twice, but I try not to. Too many dumbasses who might have a gun and use it just because of a jesture.

Re: Giving people the finger

i've been in the car with a mate in London, and driving through Childs Hill (Crayzayjay might know the area) and some kinds in a cheap ford swung round a bend in front of us, cutting us up an causing my mate to have to slam on the brakes an clutch to stop us hitting them. then when he got alongside them (stupid really) on a part of finchley road heading towards golders green he gave one the finger an one kind in the back got pissed an threw empy beer bottles an cans out the window at us.

i dont think i'd give someone the finger (except cyclists) beacuse its kinda pointless in my opinion, it wont stop them doing stupid stuff, i'd just give a sarcastic smile an two thumbs up to piss them off, or use some huge air-horn (like a train's one) like they use in that video on here somewhere.

Never have, probably never will. Never gotten one either.
