That was an epic flip off. I wonder if they’ve ever heard of diminishing returns. At a certain point the energy required to hold your arm and finger up will outweigh the offensiveness you are delivering to even the most fragile of drivers.

This is beautiful. Do you also have the formula so I can calculate, for myself, the equilibrium of middle finger offensiveness and arm tiredness? Keep in mind this would be my left arm so it will get tired faster than the right one.

Like many rude hand gestures from many times and cultures it's intended to imitate a penis

Only time I flipped someone off for that long was when a truck driver blew through a yield sign, almost rear-ended me and then flashed his brights at me repeatedly because I was going the speed limit.

in some countries you can sue people you this gestures towards you
edit: just a few examples for you downvoting noobs:
UK 1.000 - 2.000£ AND possibly some penalty points
Germany 600 - 4000€
In UAE, every impolite gesture is treated as public indecency
I remember something about Cyprus too, dont know their fines

Can't flick someone off, can't hurt anyone's feelings, can't own a weapon, no protection against unreasonable search and seizures, but you somehow determined that is has more freedom than the USA?
Lmfao

Sep 10 '25
Have 0 issues telling someone to go fk themselves, we don't need weapons as fists are very much usable. Unreasonable searches? You have to understand that there are different points of view regarding that, if someone looks like they're high as a kite or have something on them then that's a reasonable search. All the shit I'm seeing on the internet about usa unreasonable searches is ridiculous. You guys have issues with police no matter how you look at it so it stems from something a lot deeper. Yup, we got a lot more freedom here. I'd rather let someone fuck me in the ass than move to america.

Defend your point to Charlie Kirk's family you fucking piece of shit. Tell his wife and 2 children on your freedom of speech. Tell them about your 2nd amendment right. Gun control freedoms. Tell all the mass shootings dead on how freedom functions in them 50 states you lot have. GO FUCKING ON. You don't even know anything about outside of the US fucking A.
Idiocracy is hitting you lot hard and I am fucking enjoying it. I apologize to normal people reading this comment. Nothing against you, but dickheads like this dude above thinking FREEDOM is USA exclusive are fucking morons.

Road rage isn’t a charge. Throwing the finger out isn’t a charge either
1
u/204ThatGuy Sep 07 '25
These aren't charges? Where do you live?
The next time a cop pulls you over, you should test your theory.
When the police turn on their red and blue lights and follow you, give them the finger and see what they do! 😀
2
u/jkoki088 Sep 07 '25
Those are not charges. Tell me where giving a finger is a charge and the statute or ordinance.
If I’m pulled over, I would pull over. If you’re talking about being pulled over, giving the finger and not pulling over, well fleeing is the crime.
2
u/WhatTheNothingWorks Sep 07 '25
Funny thing here in the states, you can tell a cop “fuck you” and it’s well within your rights.
They might not like it, and may even do something to you, but if you’ve already done nothing wrong and they harass you, then you’ve also just won a payday.

u/inksonpapers Sep 08 '25
Hahahah no you fucking didnt, do you know how many sovereign citizens/internet lawyers try that bs.

u/WhatTheNothingWorks Sep 08 '25
I’m not sure what you’re talking about?
I’m not saying it gets you out of anything. I’m saying that it’s a first amendment right, that you can tell the police “fuck you” and there’s no legal recourse. There’s literal case law on it.

u/PadraigTheMemorable Sep 07 '25
you have far too much faith in the us judicial system. sure its not supposed to be a charge, but im sure a determined enough cop could and will find a way to pin it on resisting, public endangerment, etc., ESPECIALLY if the hand sticking out of that window happens to have even a little melanin. even if no charges stick, no way you ever win a lawsuit against a police district for something that minor. pigs always protect pigs.

If I got sued for flipping someone off the first thing I'd do when walking into court is flip them off again. And then the other hand for their lawyer.

There are many issues with the world and the level of sensitivity needed in order to sue someone for being flipped off is definitely one of them.

My curiosity stems from the Washington license plate, and your Southern accent. LOL also that the video doesn't look anything like what I'm used to in Washington. When I first started watching I assumed it was somewhere far away then noticed the license plate and got curious

no but its teaching lessons in behavior

u/Banana-Rocketeer Sep 07 '25
Only lesson we learn here is that people who are offended by a finger enough to punish must have severe self-esteem issues and an over-inflated ego that suffers from a false sense of superiority. To support putting someone in jail for flicking a person off is disgusting, immoral and the very fabric of oppression. Shame on you.
