I confess that I flipped someone the bird today for the very first time in my life. I was driving home from work today and as I was merging onto the highway (slowly), someone in the next lane was not letting me in and honking wildly. I got really pissed, and I’m not proud to say, flipped them the bird. Then the honking stopped, they switched to an outer lane, and a guy yelled out from the window, “You have a flat!” And lo and behold, I had a flat tire.

Yes, I was humbled by God today.
 
First, I want to know how the “p” word got past the auto-censor. It’s not on the list apparently!

Second, that’s a great story. I’m embarrassed FOR you! Hope you got the tire fixed quick and back on the road safely.

My first and last episode of bird-flipping was when I was about 22 and I flipped off an 18-wheeler that was sitting about 6 inches from my rear bumper. Not smart. He ran me off the road. Fortunately the exit ramp was right there or I’d’ve been in deep (word that IS on the auto-censor.) I never flipped anyone off again. That cured me. Yessirree.

I’ve never flipped anyone the bird while driving for the very reason your tale tells–you never know what is going to happen. (Besides the fact it’s a rather vulgar gesture). But can you imagine my surprise and embarrassment when I caught my 80-year old mother doing such a thing? I was sitting beside her and wanted to crawl into a hole… I told her, “Ma, in this town you could find yourself with a bullet in your head after doing that”. Didn’t faze her a bit. She feels that at her age she’s earned the privilege.:eek:
 
CB Catholic,
That’s too funny! I’ve known some little old ladies like that. Maxine in the flesh.
 
Hilarious! It sounds more like a coincidence than God humbling you though.
