Middle finger project

So there are lots of things in life that deserve the ole "Fuck You!" Let me begin then, my "Middle Finger Project." Perhaps it will be deemed worthy of its own web site someday. (I'm thinking big, here!)

What pisses you off? What, in your opinions (and I know you have 'em, otherwise you wouldn't read this blog) deserves the Middle Finger? Let me begin:

1. Bad drivers, on any day of the week, not just Sunday. Duluth is full of them. Folks sit at 4-way stops waving each other through, ignoring right-of-way left and right, and while it might seem like a courteous thing to do, it grows ever-annoying.

2. Shitty bosses. The kind who act like they are on your side and then do things to make your job infinitely less pleasant and far more unbearable. Its bad enough we gotta go to work anyway, but a little support would be nice.

3. Humidity. On a 90 degree day. Need I say more?

4. Bad customer service. Like when the cashier at the grocery store can't even speak to you to tell you the total of your purchases, but instead expects you to look at the display. That's just fucking rude.

I'm sure the list goes on. And on. And on. I am going to start passing out the middle finger like candy. Because I can and should. You should too. Forget this Minnesota-nice crap, where we act like these things are no big deal and then bitch about them later. That's known as Passive-Aggressive, and its the reason folks have high blood pressure and strokes. Let's all start flipping these folks the bird, maybe that will alter the way they act and treat other people.

I'm certain they will act all offended, as if they had done nothing wrong. And maybe they don't realize they did. But if you give them the ole "courtesy wave" maybe eventually they will get it.

Sadly, I think my finger's gonna get a workout!
