Ever think that there might be a reason or two for them flipping off people?

1) No vocabulary to speak of.

2) Brought up incorrectly.

You probably aren't the only one's being flipped off. Consider one other possibility:

3) They are jealous.

hehehehehe...

^5 on that one, dude! IMO, if you're generous enough flash your lights or wave someone to let them turn at an intersection, they should at least say Thanks! It's all about common courtesy. A lot of people act like "Oh, I was gonna turn regardless" WTF??

I agree with the other poster, it all boils to to the Big Green Monster - J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y. Next time some jealous twit flips you off, just do the jack-off motion with yer hand right back at em.

I had a guy today give me dirty looks cause I almost ran him over.

I was making a right on red and this guy decides to walk across the street on a red light for ME and HIM with oncomming traffic. So I nearly hit him, and then the guy who was comming from the left in his car nearly ran him over cause he was giving me dirty looks instead of paying attention to the cars comming down the road at 50 mph.

Default Not often.

The best response is a big smile and a wave. That drives the morons crazy.

I never flip anyone off anymore but i get it on occasion. In this town it is pretty dangerous to exhibit any sort of road rage:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A man was found guilty Monday of stabbing a man to death in a road-rage incident about five months ago, NBC 4 reported.

Jason Schmalenberger was stabbed with a knife several times near Parsons Avenue and Hamilton Road.

Gover was convicted of aggravated murder and tampering with evidence.

Deputies said that Schmalenberger, a father of three, was driving with his cousin April 3 on Higbee Drive, near Williams and Lockbourne roads. Gover was a passenger in another car, along with the driver and three juveniles.

Officials said one vehicle was apparently too close to another as they passed, causing the vehicle that Gover was riding in to swerve to avoid a crash.

Gover's vehicle then chased the other car to state Route 317 and Parsons Avenue in southern Franklin County. It passed the car, and then stopped in front of Schmalenberger's car, deputies said. Investigators said Gover, 38, stabbed Schmalenberger after the incident while others allegedly trapped the victim's cousin in the car.

Sentencing was anticipated for Monday night.

here's my 2cents, most of these cases seem like they are unrelated to the car itself, it sounds like they would have flipped the bird no matter what you were driving, reason being is that the other drivers think they are right. As for the ppl who just pull up and do it, well they are just jealous, i guess we'll never understand them. my advice would be move to canada , were friendly. I get winks and kisses blown over(by women).
