Biking Road Rage - Fingering

Your cog is slipping.
My favorite occasion to extend a helping finger is when I'm riding safely on the side of the road...allowing plenty of room for cars...and I get some dumbass who is afraid to pass me, deciding it would be much better to ride my ass instead (making me, themselves and other drivers uncomfortable in the process). I'll motion that it's ok for them to pass, yet they refuse. Sometimes they start honking. That's when my finger goes up as though it has a mind of its own. There have been a few occasions that when said car begins honking, I've decided that I may as well use the whole lane if they're going to ride my ass anyway and pull right in front of them...often slowing myself to a snail's pace. You should hear the honking then! My friends and I even made shirts that say "it's ok to pass me" in huge reflective yellow letters on the back and it still doesn't work. Idiots.

I avoid doing this even when people really piss me off.
Its hard to resist sometimes though.
A kid I went to high school with was murdered by someone he flipped off.
The nutter followed him into a parking lot and beat him to death with a pipe.
True story.

if i think i could have died, you get the finger. if you feel bad about that, you shouldn't have created a situation where i thought you might have killed me.

What's the point!
That finger doesn't hurt them very much. All you really accomplish is to let them know that they made you mad. Making you mad is probably what they were trying to do. Congratulations! You just rewarded them by letting them know they were successful.

And I seriously laughed out loud to the comment about spitting on a windshield and then ending up at the next light with them.
