Why is the middle finger bad?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_finger – believe it or not but this was answered in Wikipedia

Not to be rude or offensive, but I once heard that if a girl does it it means “fuck me” and if a guy does, it’s just the F word.

oh whoops to the girls and guys that i’ve flicked off. lol

I haven’t seen anyone give the middle finger in years. People still do this?

It doesn’t offend me at all. I believe that “the finger’s” overuse has lead to it being a meaningless symbol.

Haha @tinyfairie: people still use the middle finger. I was at a stop sign when this crazy guy on his bike (looked drunk) gave the birdie to me and others at the stop sign. I have given the finger to a few bad drivers while on the road as well..

i think it’s illegal to give them the finger while driving

LOL@furter.

Some people do it for the strangest reasons…or no reason at all. I was just walking home from the bus stop with my brother and as I was glancing over the cars some teen just stuck his finger up at me, casually, no care in the world and just sat there with it up looking at me. Seriously it was just strange. Offensive? I wasn’t offended because of what the finger meant, I was more offended by the fact that he intended to offend me for no reason whatsoever (if you see where I’m coming from) seeing as it’s now becoming a somewhat meaningless gesture in our society.

Thank you @Lurve! I love making people laugh. But I think it is true that it’s illegal. My sister said that, so I don’t know if it IS true or not. it might be, because you have to take one hand off the wheel, so…maybe…

If you flip off a cop , you’ll get a ticket. Another driver? I’m not too sure.

yeah that’s what I was thinking. But it seems a little illegal. I don’t know, there’s just something about it.

Remember the new, easily triggered road rage, cell phone rage, and something-that-annoys-someone rage.

exactly! see gail gets it! lol

See Gail. See Gail get it.
