I flashed the peace sign, she flipped the bird.
Sounds like a country/western song, no?

I was driving back home from PetsMart with a load of cat food and toys, and passed an SUV (shocker!) with a Bush/Cheney 2004 sticker on the back window, and a load of kids inside. Naturally, I slowed down until the driver looked over at me and gave her the peace sign.

If my lip-reading skills are up to par, I'd swear she yelled "Fuck you" as she flipped me off. Obviously, that's about what I expected. How bout them "family values"?

:evilgrin:

1. Next time try
blowing them a kiss, seems to piss them off more. BTW they are mad because they know that they are "On the wrong side of history":) :) :) :)

8. I didn't want her to misunderstand me.
Blowing a kiss might have sent the wrong message, as I don't look like their typical narrow view of a peace-loving, commie, dirty hippie.

Oh well. In my heart, I'll always be a dirty hippie.

I can't wait until Easter dinner tomorrow with my Republican brother. I'm hoping to make his head explode in front of the rest of the family Democrats. Should be lots of fun!

3. Republican family values
#1. Kill all people of different color or creads.
#2. Make money at all costs.
#3. Isreal is our friend and when we're done killing all the muslims, the jews that won't accept Christ are next.
#4. Darwin was a liar and the world is no older than 6,000 years.
#5. Shakespere was a faggot so reading his works are a sin against God.

This is the basic rules of Republican family values.

6. Don't forget other beliefs
WAR IS PEACE!

Maybe she was sending you a thank you in her language, and the cultural barrier created your misperception! She may even have been saying I Love You and want you to help me have more children to stuff in this SUV. Who truly knows? They speak a language unto themselves.

4. I would be careful doing stuff like that
these people-if you can call them that-have so much anger bottled insiide them that road rage is a typical expression. I have been tailgated by a couple of pickups/SUVs that didn't like my bumperstickers. One day Mr. RR was driving my car and a guy followed him into a self-serve gas station but didn't say anything to him once he probably realized that John was a pretty big dude. And this is in Massachusetts.

9. From her facial expressions, I'd guess that wasn't the case.
I don't suppose she'll call me now.

Boo.

Hoo.

14. You missed the first part of her lip-message ...
"I want to ..."

The finger was, well ... alright, I can't explain that.

16. Hey! You started it...
and you know what anyone with an SUV and a Shrub sticker on it will be like.

(New car came with a moonroof, so I'm thinking of signs to stick out up there for these people.)

21. It does sound like a country song title...
