Ducks are Better Than Birds

[ArcadeTracks]

You know how ppl how give ducks usually do it to "bring a random smile to someone" and stuff like that?
Well, flipping off a random stranger who's just sitting at a stop sign can have the opposite effect. Today I just thought it was bewildering and a bit amusing. (Enough to think, "Did that just happen??" and later check my dash cam for confirmation.) But I've had days when something like that could've been the last straw for me.

I've also had days when I felt like giving the finger to the world and/or random strangers, though.

Not long ago I was riding my bike to work and passed a guy walking down the sidewalk. I gave a short smile and nod, he flipped me off.

It was more obvious at the time
Watching the video, I'm wondering if they were mad at me for not crossing in front of them, but that seems odd. Probably just a bad day at work and didn't think someone would even register what was happening. (Or maybe it was for the guy behind me. Or the street name. Or a cloud. lol. I've been mad at billboards. )

Probably one of those people that park their crap car next to the guy who parked his brand new car way out away from everyone, because "why should anyone have a nice thing"

His/her finger is stuck that way.
