1 old guy 1 finger
Thought that might get your attention, but probably not what you're thinking.
So everyday on my commute, either to work or from work, I pass this old man in a electric wheel chair. As I pass by him he slowly extends his middle finger and proceeds to flip me off. The first time he did it I thought I was just seeing things, but after half a dozen times I know now that the honor of having this geriatric flip me off is all mine. I have been trying to think of what reasons may be the cause of this sudden middle finger outburst, but all I can come up with is that he doesn't like my loud exhaust. Other scenarios have crossed my mind, like maybe it was a motorcycle that put the old man in the wheel chair in the first place, or maybe he caught his wife cheating on him with a guy that rode a black ninja. Either way I now want to confront this old man and ask him what his malfunction is. Its not that I am mad, I actually find it funny. More of a curiosity than anything. |

Just give him a friendly wave every time. That'll really teach him a lesson. Open up your visor (if it is tinted) and give him a nice smile, too.

For sure stop and talk to the guy. There has to be a great story behind the finger.

Half expected something along the lines of 2 girls 1 cup when I came in here...what a letdown.
You should drop it down a few gears and stay at 10K rpm as you pass him by. |
