This past Friday, I flipped off not one, but two drivers on my way home from work. Where I live flipping the bird to motorists is not a really common occurance. I learned that little trick when I lived in Chicago.

I moved to Chicago when I was 22 and lived there for about four years. I can remember when I first moved there, I would get upset when people would flip me off. After a while, I could give the finger with the best of them. Unfortunately, when I would visit back home, people didn’t take kindly to getting flipped off. I guess they didn’t realize that in Chicago, you just expect to be flipped off.

What I don’t get is how people can get pissed off at you when you honk and flip them off, when it’s blatantly their fault, and they are doing something so completely stupid. They totally deserve the finger. Unless there is some rule that beat up minivans are allowed to pull out in front of a line of traffic, which is going 60 miles an hour, making us all slam on our brakes, just to drive two feet and make a left hand turn. I must have missed that day in Drivers Ed. Anyways, sometimes you see these morons driving 25m/ph on 45 speed limit, sometimes you’ll get several of them literally blocking all the lanes & creating an insane traffic, it makes you so mad you feel like you are developing some type of psychological disorders sitting in the car yelling insults at these idiots, but the best part of their irritativeness is that they absolutely don’t care, they just keep driving their snail pace.

Anyways, it is what it is I guess, not like they are going to change their ways all of a sudden.
