I used to have a bad habit of flipping people off, and I have tried to covert it into a habit of giving people a sarcastic thumbs up :/. It works out about 75% of the time lol.

I picked this up from my dear ole Dad, the most patient (yet hyper critical) automobile driver I ever have known (autoo - moe - beal ?);  I make the sign of the cross while saying out loud, “May the good Lord be with you” vs. flipping off, thumbs down/up, shaking a clenched fist or any other form of passive-aggressive response).

Wasn’t until many, many years after my good ole Pops had gone on to a better reality that I came to have a full understanding of this gesture-I’m giving the offensive driver a blessing prior to their asinine driving putting them into a grave.

FYI: I’ve never received this gesture and God knows, I don’t ever want to!  Plenty of flip offs tho (when I was a high strung, testosterone fueled, amped up teenager) but now practice extreme defensive driving.

Stay safe out there my friends, they’re crazier than the fucking loons.
