Ok so feel free to share your opinion based on experiences(must share wether you recieved or gave said finger) but this all was sparked off while i was driving around today after work in my beater running errands and came to an ugly moment involving an asshat. SOOO I'm cruising in the left lane creeping past a chevy 2500 that had been murdered out on a 2 lane 45mph surface street in the middle of the city (like commercial/apartments) when i notice a challenger with red douche ba- I mean R/T stripes coming up on me fast like 20mph faster than I am going which was 7mph faster than I should have been going (you know normal people speed) and he just halls up on me and doesn't come down to my speed until his head lights disappeared. I speed up a bit more (I don't like to go over +10) and I see him revvin his **** up and down telling me (like an asshat) to move when I have my blinker on and am speeding up to get in front of the truck next to me(the challenger also stepped over to pass me until he realized the other lane is going slower than I was and quick swerved back over (think heating the tires kind of swerving which has to be hella stupid in 4600lb land barge) I finally get over in front of the truck like 15seconds latter and against my better judment I let the birds fly in a nice calm manner as dude floors his 15second car to pass us, he sees birds and slams on his breaks to match speed and cuss at me in another language that i don't speak but I know what puto is. This then was responded to with "slow down you F'n Jackass dumb son of a bitch" said in a Not So Discreet manner (also I'm not a little dude) and then he speeds up changes over 2 turn lanes at the next street and proceeds upon doing the things asshats do down a 25 mile an hour side street and I continue driving home.

so the meat of this post is
1. If you ran into such a situation would you be tempted to give the 1 digit salute(possibly even the twin)?

2. If you were being an asshat would you be offended by receiving one or more displays of corrective criticism(not accedental douchebaggery I mean you were being a full blown tool) ?

3.(more Socal and bigger city prevelant, also depending on where you happen to be driving through) Say you commited to giving a one finger puppet show, how many times do you worry that your audience may irrationally enforce his opinion via a projectile weapon? (I have seen a guy pull a gun on a dude giving him the finger, what can I say some parts of this state ******* blow)
