    Giving people a thumbs down for poor driving is much better than the finger. It’s like saying “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed.” The amount of people that look genuinely remorseful is higher than you would think.

      Having been the remorseful one a handful of times over the years, I agree. I feel like an idiot when I do something idiotic. Sometimes people make mistakes while driving, everyone on does. Unless it’s clearly some fool speeder doing speeder things, or road rage BS, then I let it slide. Not that I could, or would do anything anyway, but I don’t blame them and curse their children, is what I mean.

        My Yankee might be showing here, but I thought that the middle finger was almost universal as an insult. I know that many places have their own rude hand gestures (five fingers in Arabic countries is ‘Your momma has five baby-daddies/Your mom’s a ho’, a thumb between your index and middle finger in Slavic/Turkic countries is ‘You got a small dick’, sign languages have entire dictionaries of them, etc), but are there places where a middle finger means something else entirely?

    The 5’s primary function to sign a contract with peers. Tho its functionality degrades rapidly over time so no adults on earth can perform that ritual nowadays.

    My dad used to make fun of me cuz my pinky stuck out when drinking from a cup or mug. I never did it on purpose, I have any idea why I started doing it, and I still do it now. If try not to do it it feels completely awkward and unbalanced.
