I got flipped off while driving!

[YoQuieroLiberty]

Happened while driving through the bucolic splendor of Orange County, CA. My 320CLK sports two Kerry stickers, and just before hitting San Clemente, a truck comes up pretty close behind me.
Then he speeds up, comes alongside me on the 5, and flips me the rod. I couldn't see his face because he was so high up...all I could see was finger.

Oh well. Small people with small minds generally drive big trucks.

1. Other small things, too. *smile* n/t

[mark414]

3. ha!

4. Its southern california at least you're still alive :)

It can get pretty rough out there about 24 hours ago someone dumped a body out of a car in the middle a freeway

[happynewyear]

8. JESUS & I thought a mattress was bad

Saw one of those dumped on the Bay Bridge awhile back - not funny nor safe!

But a body! Holy shyte! :scared:

I'll take the mattress! :D

:dem: :kick:

[Mojambo]

5. Yeah. Sorry about that. n/t

[YoQuieroLiberty]

It's amusing

The guy probably took out a home equity loan to buy his $40000 truck that depreciates 10% a year...better hope his house holds its value...flipping me off is the maybe the most satisfaction he's gotten all year.

CUTE

[DrZhivago]

9. Thats funny

I'm usually the guy flipping off all the W'04 stickers I see here in Texas.

[YoQuieroLiberty]

11. I'm thinking of

putting a sticker that says "GFY" on the driver's side window.

That way I get them first.

Or I'll change the sticker to say, "Flip Me Off if you Support Kerry!"

That's actually a good idea.

[AgadorSparticus]

15. ROFL! that IS a good idea. or you could make a handheld "fan".

get some cardstock and tape it to a popsicle stick. so when these numnuts "approach" you again, you can flip them the sign. ha ha ha just keep it in the compartment on the door (if you have one). easy to get to. and put away. the reaction would be worth it alone. :evilgrin:

[Vickers]

29. "Flip Me Off if you Support Kerry!"

Bwahahahahahaha!

:toast:

10. Interesting to note

how Kerry/Edwards stickers make Republicans heads explode.
I was driving in Philly last week and a guy in a Buick - 1998 or thereabouts - started honking, flashing his lights and gesticulating (I've got a Saab 9.3 - 2000). I didn't notice him at first, but when I did I saw that hit face was bright red and he was pounding on the steering wheel. It may have been the "Bush Lied, Thousands Died" or the 'Nothing Accomplished' or the Kerry/Edwards or Billionaires for Bush - whatever I thought he was about to have a stroke.

[happynewyear]

12. the best one I saw was this:

Support the Armageddon, Vote Bush '04!

another one ....

Vote Bush/Cheney 1984!!!

Ack to both of them!!! :puke:

:dem: :kick:

13. You were luckier than I was

The Friday before Labor Day a similar thing happened to me, only I drive a little Honda Metropolitan scooter and have a "George Bush is a Punk Ass Chump" sticker in the middle of the back of my helmet.

The truck tailgated me for about a mile, then pulled around me on the left while the passenger leaned out of the window and looked at me. I get this a lot, people are either curious about the scooter or want to get a look at the chick who has the Anti-Bush sticker on her helmet.

So, after pacing me for awhile, the truck pulls forward about a car length, the passenger darts back into the cab of the truck and then I see him stick his arm straight out of the window. In his hand, he's holding a bottle of water, which he promptly empties into the air so that it hits me square in the face.

[AgadorSparticus]

18. i'm sorry to hear that. hope you are ok. don't worry. karma prolly

bit him in the ass afterwards when he got home and found his shit in the yard because his wife found out about his little affair with water bottle girl and is now going to take him to the cleaners. :7

[dorktv]

23. Please tell me you went and got the plate number so

you could report his lame ass! That is a crime

[Poisonskin_com]

14. sorry to hear about it Dennis Weaver

DUEL should be remade with a freeper trucker pissed off at some car with a no war sticker.

[shanti]

16. it was probably

my son's half-sister's husband. they live in the o.c. and he's a truck driver. oh...and they're both bushbots!

[For PaisAn]

17. Here's a good comeback

Next time you get get flipped off ask the person "Is that your IQ or your age?"
Leaves them speechless every time.
:evilgrin:

[partygirl]

19. When I am driving

and people flip me off or are rude, I just wave and smile! And if I can I slooow way down or whatever I can do to be annoying while I wave and smile!

[Blue Gardener]

28. Me Too!

Doesn't do any good to get in a big confrontation while driving, but the wave and smile is enough to irritate them.

[usurper4]

20. I've had a couple incidents....

But I have a little surprise. See, I drive a little Civic hatchback, because my wife drives the kid around in the 4 door. So I occasionally have had incidents due to my anti-Bush stickers.

Guys are REALLY macho until they see me get out of the grocery getter. I'm 6'1", 240 pounds. Few days ago, I had the honor of watching a guy get out of his car and take two steps forward...I got out of my car and he took two steps backward.

Republicans...really macho as long as they have the upper hand.

[Hello_Kitty]

25. What's really scary about that

They may have assumed, by the style of your car, that you're a woman and are acting that aggressive.

[flaminbats]

21. now I know why Kerry drivers never look at me when I give them a thumbs-up

I passed one guy in a car with a Kerry bumper-sticker when I was wearing my Kerry/Edwards hat, I waved but he didn't look toward me once! :(

[fameless]

22. I do that too.

I want to make a universal sign that means "I like your bumper sticker" or something to that effect. It would make things so much easier.

[Piperay]

27. Yeah, I have tried to catch Kerry people's eye

so I can smile, wave, give them a thumbs-up but I have NEVER been able to because they always have their eyes straight ahead, sad that things are that way. :-(

[judaspriestess]

24. getting flipped off

Not a surprise, many Republicans are just so damn angry. Everything revolves anger. It's bizarre

26. Small people with small minds generally drive big trucks.

Penis extenders is what they really are.

[devinsgram]

30. Now that's the winner.

[Mr_Spock]

31. Damn, I'm impatiently waiting for someone to flip me off.

When will they, I've got stickers all over my car!
