I was driving to my sons rugby game today and 2 people gave me the evil finger! Both times it wasn't even my fault! I would have no problems admitting it was my fault. That is why I am so annoyed. How dare they do that when it is their fault or the driver beside them. Let alone me having 2 kids in the car.

People should learn when to use their road rage finger. It can really put a damper on a fun little drive.

well, i think it's safe to say that the only rational thing to do in this case is to get their license plate numbers, look them up, drive to their houses, and chop off their middle fingers. our children are very vulnerable to outside influences, and we don't want people like that to continue to negatively influence the young minds of the future.

my town has a bad problem with people running redlights. i've been hit head on once before, and have had plenty of other close calls. whenever people run redlights and almost hit me, i honk at them, and most of them honk back or tell me i'm number one in sign language. needless to say, i have quite a bit of finger-chopping to do.

LOL giggle! Your post is very funny, thanks for the laugh! I'll hold the finger if you do the chop. We could be the finger stealing bandits!

Last time someone gave me the birdie when I was driving ... I gave them a big cheesy all teeth grin, nodded very rapidly then yelled out the window "yes please!" The look of bewilderment on their face was priceless It made my day.

I remember when I went to Traffic School a number of years ago. I asked an Officer, "how easy is it nowadays to give tickets?". He looked at me and said, "extremely easy, especially for speeding"
The way I see it (at my old age of 59), there are just so many drivers out there nowadays that just don't give a da_n about anyone on the road. They don't care if you have kids (babies on up in age) in a car, they want to do what they want to do. "Get out of my way" is the basic wording used today.
HOWEVER, there are drivers (young and old) that drive wayyyyyyy to slow on the freeways. Some drive under the speed limit, while other drive the exact speed limit.
The entire "driving" thing is just sad to think about. No wonder there are so many people who chose Light Rail or the bus for commuting.
