A Bush loving lady flipped me the bird....
So I was driving around in the anti-* mobile on sunday and I glanced back in my rear-view mirror at the stoplight to see a woman clearly and very angrily flipping me the bird. She rode my tail once I started moving and just kept holding her finger up in front of her like some freak.

She pulled up beside me at the next light. My window was already down. She rolled her window down and flipped it with even more rage, while screaming "MAKE WAR"!

This led me to just crack up at which point she yelled even louder "MAKE WAR"!

Now I have never been flipped the bird over the bumper stickers on my car. I have had run-ins with people who call me "unpatriotic" but I have never had someone with quite so much rage. Her face was red with anger. She got so mad that I laughed at her that she started screaming "Why are you laughing at me"?

I told her she was ridiculous and started driving when the light turned green. DH leaned over me and said "Have a nice day" She just kept screaming and waving her finger out the car window....

Holy Jeebus -

:rofl: :rofl:

1. Maybe she's feeling...
The way we used to feel; outnumbered and powerless.

2. Perhaps - it was just very odd to have someone's grandmother
totally flip out on me like that. And the fact that she kep screaming "MAKE WAR" was just plain effed up.

4. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
I think it's good for people to experience being both the goose and the gander.

5. I always like to blow a kiss to people like that
though the laughter you gave her seemed to have pretty much the same effect.

7. She just raged when I laughed and DH waved at her..
although if my kid was in the car, I am not sure I would have restrained myself as well when she kept dropping the f-bomb on us.

9. Do these people ever stop to listen to themselves?

15. People like that really thought their kind ruled 'Murika
A couple years ago, everything was coming up roses for them. Dubya was in his flightsuit and they were good little Germans marching with lockstep. Now they are in the minority, and they're enraged, and their tiny little brains can't handle their lessened status.

16. You hit the nail on the head with that one!
She was just so full of rage. I have never seen someone get that bent over some bumper stickers - seems ridiculous to me - but then again, I have a somewhat developed brain.

17. Awesome response!
sounds like nothing else could have pissed her off even more. I've gotten flipped off a couple times with my bumper stickers being the only inciting factor I could see. But then I get the honks and thumbs up or people hollering support at the stop light and it makes me so happy to be waking up from this 1984 dream.

18. I get tons of honks and thumbs up when I am on the road
but only a few times have people said anything negative.

This was the first time I was ever flipped off - by someone's grandma no less.:hi:

19. She's no lady
Wow, just wow. People are insane. That's so insane that I probably would have started cracking up too. I mean, what else can you do?

21. True enough....not really a lady at all.....
I laughed all day yesterday every time I thought about it. It was my first time doing my errands and shopping in that area (we recently moved) and I decided that it was closer then my old stomping grounds. It should be interesting if I run into her again.

What can you do but laugh at these people? They are absolute, fucking idiots.

"Make War"??

Oh yeah, she was definitely a rocket scientist.

24. I am not one to really judge on appearance, but I must
say that she really fit the part of the crazed road rager....her bleached blonde/grey hair was sticking up in spots, the long cigarette hanging out of her mouth, the face contorted with anger and the hand just holding up her finger in a fury....

Total. Complete. Nutjob.

28. what would have been really funny is if her head

31. Yes SG - MAKE WAR!
I swear, I can't help but laugh every time I think about it. I chuckled at my desk for quite some time today - every time I felt a little work stress come over me, I just sat there chanting MAKE WAR and laughing.

My co-worker kept chanting "cookoo" over and over again while I chanted "make war"...we were a scary sight.
