I just flipped someone the bird while driving. Am I doomed to hell ?

My street is 25 mph and this guy was driving at least 45 MPH up the street where there were little kids playing around. I saw him pull out of someone's drive way and at the intersection he just completely ran the stop sign when I had the right away. His friend blew me a kiss and I just flipped my middle finger. I swear its the heat. I know it is. I have been pissed off about every little thing all week for no reason.

1. Some people go way too fast up my street too

Like 40mph some people, and the road has cars parked down both sides so that there is room for only one car to pass at a time. A kid could run out from between those parked cars at any moment! So I tend only to do 20mph down the road. Yeah, and people run the stop line at the crossroads too; a motorcycle did that to me on Tuesday and I nearly hit the idiot.

5. It's (probably) better than shooting their tires out.

6. the blown kiss

indicates they know they were wrong. They should expect the finger.

I never do it when driving, people will chase you down over it, and I've been chased.

7. I used to live on a street like that.

My mom, after complaining to the police several times, as well as other neighbors calling in, she finally got fed up and took the problem into her own hands. She would wait outside in a lawn chair and through plastic yard-balls across the street if she saw a fast car coming. When that failed, she actually went out to Home Depot and put small little bumps in the road. It was absolutely genius.

9. If you are, I am too. But I seriously doubt it.

Not long ago, as I was walking back to my car after a Mariners game, the walk light came on at an intersection, and me and about 12 other people started crossing the street. This stupid asshat coming up the street that we were crossing didn't even slow down and nearly plowed into all of us. I reached out with my fist and hit his window, and a guy next to me kicked the car as hard as he could.

This guy didn't even LOOK, fer gawd sakes, and could have seriously hurt people, or killed some of us.

And to me, the even worse thing is when people drive like you describe where there are little children playing in the area. JERKS.
