Have spent hours on my couch eating potato chips, so many after noons reading forwarded emails about tweety birds and a large part of my life thinking about girls, but nothing, just nothing makes me feel as much guilt about wasting time, the way it does when I wait for the traffic signal to turn green. So here I was patiently waiting for the red to fade into a green. And suddenly, there is this guy in a cycle who squeezes in-between my car and the median, in the process disturbs my rear view mirror and nonchalantly moves ahead. It was Friday…I was in a good mood…so I go like…hey mister…what are you doing. Almost immediately this guys goes like…”get lost Ass%^*@”. Experience along with some sophisticated schooling has taught me that whenever am put in an adversity like this where my very character is getting tarnished, I retort with some thing even stronger. So, I immediately blurted out…”F*$%# off Ass%^, with my middle finger gesture complimenting the said statement. There was contentment even as I said that…ya…the state of bliss the learned call “nirvana”.
The signal turns green and having won the battle I drive ahead and took a quick peek at my rear view mirror…and what do I see…there is this guy in all rage following me at lightening speed. And here is when I notice…this guy is BIG…six foot 4 inches…that’s not all…he is 6”4 on all directions. Have you ever noticed this sign in mirrors that read “objects in mirrors are closer than they appear”. I didn’t either, till this incident. This Godzilla was growing in size and I was sure it was just a matter of time before he made minced meat outta me. The benefit of a superior car engine and a clear road helped me narrowly escape the clutches of this violently enraged man. Its only after I reached some distance of safety did it occur to me…isn’t it amazing that a small hand motion of mine instills so much rage in an otherwise passive person. I mean… think about it…all I said was “fuck“…isn’t that what is running in 90% of guy’s minds all the time…well ya 99% of the guys…or maybe all of us. So then, why get angry? Who came up with this really? This small movement of the middle finger...If only getting laid is as simple as that. We gotta change this people. This middle fingers action ain’t working. No idea why this was meant to be derogatory in the first place. Instead lets show him the bum as a symbol of insult. Think about it…you are driving, you take the pain of slowly getting up even as you maneuver the car and then show him the bum. Boy! That can be quite insulting. Imagine people going like…gosh! This is humiliating, he showed him the bum. Well…that’s some thing!!!
