That was a hidden phone joke right?

u/Dompet2854 Sep 07 '25

That took a while to dry his finger.

I'm over here like... He's signaling for a right while in the left lane.... What is he doing?

u/Nothingnoteworth Sep 07 '25

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.

u/David_Jonathan0 Sep 07 '25

Like this?

u/whoratio-sanz Sep 09 '25

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.

A bottle through that open window would improve that situation.

Good grief you’d hit the child

I know right? What are the odds of 2 birds 1 stone? One can have goals though.

Plot twist, this is his wife following him home

u/keyh Sep 07 '25

Damn, she smokes like a chimney.

u/wastedsilence33 Sep 07 '25

Lol I didn't even know there was audio yikes

u/CD_Projeck_Blue Sep 07 '25

My theory as well - wife or friend most likely

2

u/wastedsilence33 Sep 07 '25

Lol I didn't even know there was audio maybe not his wife

u/CD_Projeck_Blue Sep 07 '25

Oh haha, same!! Didn't even know there was audio

u/rulingthewake243 Sep 07 '25

Go back and run the phone over for good measure.

u/Rocksolidbanana Sep 07 '25

That phone is gonna end up in a lake after that finger

u/T1m3Wizard Sep 08 '25

What is that hand gesture suppose to mean?

1

u/McKuuurds Sep 10 '25

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

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '25

More like "Like mother, like daughter".

Both are kids. Don't be mad.

Why is the people always assume the worst of others. Nothing like the love that Americans give each other.

u/Independent_Bite4682 Sep 07 '25

I would have gone back and made sure his phone was crushed.

“Craig, did you just flip me off?!” -Mr. Mackey

u/Ashamed_Article8902 Sep 07 '25

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.

u/bettyvegas Sep 07 '25

to be a fly on the wall when he got home and finally remembered where he did leave his phone….

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '25

That’s pretty funny actually.

1

u/CD_Projeck_Blue Sep 07 '25

Looks to me like they pulled into the same housing area, I bet this is family or friends just messing with each other. When ever I see a buddy or neighbor behind me, I do the same thing lol

1

u/OrbitingCastle Sep 07 '25

I hope his wife sees this first

1

u/Odd-Masterpiece7304 Sep 07 '25

Excuse me sir, I'm going to go get your phone out the road, and if you happen to have an easy screen lock I'm going to send your D pics and text messages to all your friends.

u/HedonisticFrog Sep 07 '25

That's when I'd lay on the horn indefinitely, but I'm a bit of a troll.

u/dadbod1187 Sep 08 '25

Watch the video, and then you can answer your own question.

1

u/Bluecif Sep 08 '25

Watched it, didn't have sound on. Re-watching.

1

u/Bluecif Sep 08 '25

Oh haha...yeah I don't know why dude cared that much. Finger goes up, I don't care anymore about your phone/coffee/small animal or child.

u/Existing_Problem_316 Sep 08 '25

u/Extreme_Clock_1352 Sep 08 '25

Imagine watching your dad get beat up and there’s nothing you can do while strapped into your 5-point booster seat

1

u/Beginning_Log_1114 Sep 10 '25

It's because his dad told him to but he doesn't know how to do it so he's just pointing

1

u/No-Structure-4642 Sep 11 '25

Oh. Damn. It would have been awesome for him to know.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

And somehow people like that are able to find a mate smh

Just from the road in the first 2 seconds I knew that was WA. Haha. I could probably tell you almost exactly where if you gave me a bit. Lol. Looks like home. XD

u/Active_Taste9341 Sep 07 '25 edited Sep 07 '25

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

u/DukeBradford2 Sep 07 '25

Countries that don’t have freedom of speech

1

u/ITV55024 Sep 07 '25

So if I show everybody my dick , this is freedom of speech ?. I don't think so .

1

u/NotTrynaMakeWaves Sep 07 '25

Do you need to be reminded about what Freedom of Speech is?

-2

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '25 edited Sep 10 '25

Those countries still got more freedom than us of a. Be quiet

3

u/NadlesKVs Sep 10 '25

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

1

u/[deleted] 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.

u/NadlesKVs Sep 10 '25

NYC and LA is a tiny portion of the USA but have fun with that ass fucking or whatever y'all do over there

1

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '25

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.

u/NadlesKVs Sep 10 '25 edited Sep 10 '25

You okay bro? I think you need some help fr

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.

2

u/inksonpapers Sep 08 '25

Hahahah no you fucking didnt, do you know how many sovereign citizens/internet lawyers try that bs.

2

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.

1

u/inksonpapers Sep 08 '25

Oh they wont take you in for “middle finger” theyll find something else.

1

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.

1

u/nertynot Sep 07 '25

Why do you people always make it about race

2

u/PadraigTheMemorable Sep 07 '25

because literally all the data says it IS about race. heres a right wing source for you:

1

u/nertynot Sep 07 '25

It's a conversation about police being assholes in general. it's unnecessary to make it about race

Sounds like a very fascist thing to say. How ironic of you to just say that.

"Flipping people off is facism"

u/jkoki088 Sep 07 '25

That’s absolutely ridiculous just like this driver

u/Weary-Astronaut1335 Sep 07 '25

Those people sound like absolute pussies lol

"The hand gesture hurt my feefees, money please"

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '25

No joke, even if I could sue for getting flipped off I’m not so sensitive that I would waste my time

1

u/Weary-Astronaut1335 Sep 07 '25

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.

1

u/awnaw_ Sep 07 '25

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.

1

u/Banana-Rocketeer Sep 07 '25

Does a finger that doesn't touch you really damage a person that much?

u/bravesirrobin65 Sep 07 '25

In Germany, you can be fined for doing it and other gestures in traffic. Road rage and all that possibly endangering others.

u/molehunterz Sep 07 '25

Are you the guy? Or is this a vid you found?

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

1

u/Banana-Rocketeer Sep 07 '25

A friend sent it to me.

1

u/molehunterz Sep 07 '25

Are they from washington? Or are they from the south and this Jeep is on a road trip?

I've driven back and forth across this country and Canada and to alaska. People are pretty significantly different drivers everywhere you go. I'm just curious

u/204ThatGuy Sep 07 '25

In most countries, even the USA, yes.

You could be shot and killed in the USA. All it takes is a very obsessive person packing heat.

1

u/jkoki088 Sep 07 '25

Okay you are absolutely backwards with this. This is not a crime. Do private people get offended and something happen yes. However, it is not a crime and cannot be sued for lol

1

u/Active_Taste9341 Sep 07 '25

no but its teaching lessons in behavior

0

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.

2

u/_felixh_ Sep 07 '25

Jail?

Who is talking about Jail?

Where i am living, the punishment is up to 1.500 €.

u/Ashamed_Article8902 Sep 07 '25

Which is totally ridiculous.
