I think I might get in trouble... |
|
Today, almost of its own accord, every time a car passes me with a Bush sticker I have been returning the '1 finger victory salute'. My driving finger seems to have a mind of it's own. It pops up and to the window before I caution stops it. I hope some pissed off Neanderthal doesn't want to beat up on this poor gal.

Maybe you should make up an expletive-filled song instead. Make it sound happy, so the schmucks don't get to ya...

I used to do that as a release when I was younger. Got quite the library from the Raygun years. Maybe time to write some more.

2. Bad idea - they can be violent |
|
What I do is try to make eye contact, then give them a smile and a cheery wave. Since I have an "Impeach Bush" sticker and a "Somewhere In Texas A Village Is Missing Its Idiot" sticker and a DU sticker on my car, it's pretty obvious I don't agree with them. I like to mess with their little pinheads.

Some guy in FL shot and killed a guy who was holding his 10 month old baby because of road rage.
Instead of flipping people off, I sing really loudly to Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girls.
This SHIT is bananas.

I do that too.
I've been quoting that song a LOT lately. It's just the state of things.

5. Look in the mirror and see the "pissed off Neanderthal". |
|
You are acting like a fool and inviting other fools to interact violently with you.

7. Now Now, no need to insult. |
|
Yes I am pissed. But not to Neanderthal violence. I realized it was dangerous afterwards. Thats why I posted for a bit of release.

I'll take my behavioral advice from someone else.

Just reached one of those points where you don't want to pretend to be nice to them anymore. You are right it doesn't help anything. I just need to find a good outlet for anger at Bushco and the idiots that can't see through his scam.

time you see a car with one of those stickers, and then you can donate the money to some organization that they would hate? They use this concept at some clinics -- people pledge to give a certain amount of money for every protester that is outside of the clinic each day. (Maybe a dime for each protester.) Using this strategy, their having the stickers on their vehicles helps our causes. (It doesn't matter if they know it -- you'll know it so it might help with the aggrevation of having to see the stupid stickers.)
I might just do this myself! :)
