    “It’s not just about what happened to me. It’s about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don’t retaliate. Don’t be violent. Don’t try to hurt your neighbor. We’re all human,”

    I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn’t have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn’t have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don’t agree with physically threatening them, but c’est la vie I guess.

      I just love that someone is complaining about people being rude to him in a state with such rude, aggressive drivers that the term ‘Masshole’ was invented to describe them.

      Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered “road rage” in some places and can get you ticketed.

      Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!

        Bro, as a Massachusettsan born and raised if you dare touch my primary form of expression ya gonna get a hot cuppa dunkins in the face. That’d be like banning wicked sick donuts in a rotary.

        I point and laugh at the ones I see here in Seattle. You can do a pretty good show of it from a bike while passing them being stuck in traffic lol

        Only if you do it outside the vehicle. This actually came up years ago when I took a motorcycle course. Since you’re always outside the vehicle I guess you can’t flick people off.

        This feels like such a thin reason to get a ticket if you ask me. A rude gesture is just a rude gesture. But… be careful out there! I feel safe enough to flip them off, but I encourage safer forms of heckling them, like pointing and laughing.

        Also a chance you’ll catch one of those guys carrying in their cars - that’s their thing. No need to put yourself in the crosshairs for an unhinged person…

        I hope not. The article and video were a little vague on that. Some people apparently cut him off and got out of the car to flip him off, which is a bit much IMHO.

      Yeah, massholes aren’t nice to anyone unless they need it. You want someone to be kind to you in Boston? Get irresponsibly drunk and start crying on the bathroom floor otherwise they’re gonna tell you to shut the fuck up, fuck right on off, and get the fuck over it because they assume you can handle hearing it and may need to.

        Man, you interact with a way different kind of people in MA than I do.

          It’s overexaggeration for comedic effect. But also yeah my main bostonian is from a biker family, she’s terrible and fun.
