  • The finger

    Big surprise ya'll, but not that one.

    Yes, I was bad, and went to McDonalds. Hey, I went all last weekend without it, give me props. I'm trying.

    Anyway, the car ahead of me was at the second window, where you get your food.

    I saw a hand extend out the window and a pointer finger point and shake up and down. Point and shake. Then a middle finger wiggle alongside the pointer finger.

    The girl poking out the window had a look on her face.

    Not even sure what it was about, but something about people pointing and shaking their hand at others has always just bugged me.

    i agree; it's like correcting a dog's behavior. very insulting and demeaning.

    Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

      Kinda reminds me when I worked for 'the Mouse;' we were taught when gesturing to something / pointing in a direction to motion with our whole hand or the first 2-fingers, so as not to accidentally insult someone from another culture. The habit's still with me today.

        At some point as a child, I was taught "It's rude to point!" I tend to gesture with my entire hand instead, and I don't really know where I picked up that habit or when.
        It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.
