I flashed my headlights at someone today and then gave them the finger

fucking witch wouldn't let me pull out from parking into a slow-moving queue at traffic lights

seriously made a point of speeding up until she was level with me

The person behind her did though

so I flashed and gave her the finger

she deserved it - it was such purposeful bad manners / etiquette whatever you call it

AIBU?

And you have pretty much summed up every thread ever posted in the history of AIBU, lou. Grin

houseworkwhore · 27/02/2011 17:17

if you had given me the finger i would of stopped in your way so you couldnt get anywhere just for the fun of it..

How do you know she wasnt in a rush? or just didnt see you.

My friend gave someone the finger once. the person stopped their car got out and gave her what for. she cowered behind her steering wheel untill the person got back in their car.she never gave the finger again

YABU.

yabu. You're not allowed to flash people.

Learn to drive properly and calm down. Don't make other drivers stupidity your problem.

Why is this thread still limping on, like a kicked dog? We established that OP was not BU and that she fucking rules ages ago.

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 18:10

At least this thread has only been going since Thursday, the 'AIBU to ask how much you all earn' thread is now 7 days old and still going strong

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 19:51

good job you had to spell your subtle wit out else it would float by like a fart in a spacesuit

bupcakesandcunting · 27/02/2011 19:52

Ah shut it, yee wee schemie. Wink

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 19:53

go sniff your mind farts.

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 19:55

still think so I flashed and gave her the finger is quite pervvy sounding

bupcakesandcunting · 27/02/2011 19:56

Go and fuck a brick.

And only in your sex-addled mind, sm Wink

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 19:59

LOL of course.youd never lower yourself to smut

how exactly does fuck a brick?will any any ole common brick do or a building site brick trade brick?

bupcakesandcunting · 27/02/2011 20:02

Depends on your standards, I suppose. Any old red brick would do me, tbh, I ain't fussy...

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 20:10

lol,initially read that as any ole redneck would do me i aint fussy

bupcakesandcunting · 27/02/2011 20:12

That too.

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 20:15

i will now add it to my mn profanities and use freely. Ta

ItsMeMo · 27/02/2011 20:21

Not letting someone out is not an offence. Giving them the finger is.
It's an offence under section 5 of the public order act.
Let's hope she doesn't report you.

owenmeany · 27/02/2011 20:27

would have been nice of her to let you out, but she didn't - her right of way, not yours. YABU. Sounds like you need to calm down a bit on the road, and otherwise "f*ing witch", etc.

hairylights · 27/02/2011 20:30

Yabu. Not your right of way. You are getting het up by something very petty!

scottishmummy · 27/02/2011 20:32

is indicative of poor temper control.chill out a bit
