Its about time for this one, everybody does it at some point, and we are usually driving when the one finger salute makes an appearance. So who, or what, got the "BIRD" and why? I'll start this one... Coming back from Loveland on a parts run today after work, I got off the highway, and found myself behind two side dump gravel trucks coming up to a light... Normally not a problem, but these guys saw the light turn yellow and one decided to switch lanes like a Honda so he could be first in line next to his buddy at the light. Knowing they accelerate at the speed of stink, and where taking up both lanes kinda irked me, so I just picked the one I thought would take off a little quicker, and lined up behind him. Luckily I was right, and after about a quarter of a mile we finally hit 30 MPH, and the truck I was behind took the lead. So in the nice tropical 20 degree weather I pop the sunroof of the Porker open... As soon as there was adequate room to fit through, I was on the gas, arm and finger at full extension out the hole in the roof as I went around both trucks! Made me feel better! So what do you guys have?
I gave the FedEx guy the finger today because he finally delivered my new work replacement laptop. Ugh now I have to work again. :lol:
Come on Nathan, you're telling me you dont randomly give posts on the forum the Bird even if they cant see it? I know Dave gets a mental finger from me on a regular basis...
No fingers issued discriminately today. My wife has ridden with me everywhere I've gone. However, the day is not yet done... I'm driving alone to the car club meeting at 1815.
Nope...that sort of activity is not in my normal wheelhouse. Nor is my language peppered with expletives. When ya'll get to me I growl...sigh...and exclaim "Damn Kids!". Then usually move on.
I just flipped off my TV because that damn Viagra commercial came on again with the lady talking about E.D. God I hate that commercial. :mad2: <-- wrong finger but you get the idea.
My mother yes my mom. Use to stick her pinky finger. Then she would say "This is the feather because your not worth the hole bird!" What made this so funny is she was model, she was even on the cover of a few magazines.so here was this pretty lady always dressed to the T doing it. When we lived in Southern California she drove a Chalinger with a 440 in it.. I remember more than once that she would race guys with us in the car. Guys hated losing to her.
Ok so I'm back from the meeting. While driving through downtown in our fine little city, I had a perfect opportunity to flip off this guy in a Ford diesel pickup. But, I chose not to because his cock blocker driving technique kept me from an inevitable ticket had I chosen to bury the gas pedal. Yep the officer was sitting just up the block. Sometimes I guess it pays to be more patient than foolish... And, our officers don't necessarily agree that the posted speeds are mere suggestions.
I never use that gesture either. I generally just stare at people and give them what my boss calls my "Dragon Mom" look. I do curse more than I should though. :nonod: Sometimes it just seems to be the best way to appropriately express how I feel. :biggrin5:
To some jack-wagon that was in a right turn only lane then decided he wanted back out to go straight right in front of me.
Keep in mind that when you give the 'bird' to someone you know absolutely nothing about you're taking the risk of being shot. Stranger things have happened.
