Flipping the bird is needless escilation, and really doesn't help you get over what's happened, nor does it educate the idiot you're flipping off. I've given it up and learned to just laugh it off when **** happens to me in traffic.

Anyone here flip the bird to strangers in a non-traffic situation? Why do it in traffic? It seems a little like the internet: just enough anonymity/distance to remove the need for any manners at all.

Sorry if this comes off as a bit of attack, but letting things go a soon as possible has made my city riding sooooo much more enjoyable so I thought I'd share.



And cops that **** and abuse their powers definately suck. I had one get in a buddies face for no good reason for a good few minutes so I steathily videoed it. The expression on his face and response that he had when I raised the camera up to make it a bit more obvious were priceless All of a sudden he had other things to do!

edit: "S - P - A - Z" in censored??? WTF??
