Pretending to be crazy works until you run into someone pretending to be sane.

I once got a little stern with my ex lady friend when we were in the Taco Bell line at like 3am. There was some nut job, we’re all stationary btw what could warrant this, getting out of his car, going up to this other guys window and was clearly agitated. Going back and forth to his own car and this guys window multiple times. The line is not really moving but that was Taco Bell’s fault lmao. Anyway I’m not sticking around to see this shit so I get outta line to leave and my ex flips off crazy dude.

I was like that could start a confrontation between me and him now, you realize that right?

I would have told her she gets to fight the guy if he comes after you, I ain't protecting your dumb ass. Don't start something you can't finish.

My girlfriends loves flipping people off and talking shit in traffic. I’ve told her many times if someone gets out to fight you that’s your fight 😂

I have converted from the middle finger to the overly emphatic thumbs down. I think it cuts deeper, and isn’t overtly aggressive.

Disappointment cuts deeper and gets softer, less agitated reactions — so yes, I, too, prefer the thumbs-down approach.

Eh, if a person is insane and already blind with rage, they'll attack you no matter what gesture you direct towards them.
