Truckers wave almost got me killed…

Reverse psychology works best in many of these situations. Whenever I get flipped off, I usually ignore it, sometimes I’ll give the peace sign back, or just smile. Make them feel guilty for being a Karen. That said, With some people there’s no reasoning whatsoever. Anything you do, they’ll take it the wrong way. My dad was a “tough guy” growing up. Marine corps drill sergeant. I learned the golden rule etc at a young age. I was taught “always pick your battles” when you can and actually what that really means, and “live to fight another day” and also what that really means. If we go throwing ourselves into stupid without much thought based on pride, the outcome will not always be favorable. A finger is not a reason to fight or defend your life over. Just not.
