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.
I do this, but I'm a pedestrian. Don't care how bad I make anyone in a car feel.
I've taken to either giving them sarcastic double thumbs up followed by a derisive headshake, or just locking eyes and giving them a slow, negative headshake. Disappointment stings harder than insults.
The thumbs up is my go to. In my mind it’s the “wow you’re so good at being shitty!”
