Default Re: Name calling with top down

My son is 26, 6'2" and when he drives my car with a buddy in the passenger seat, he told me he feels a little gay. He is not the least bit homophobic so it does not stop him from borrowing the car. It has more to do with my "LtMyFire" license license plate than anything else. However, he said he has never had any negative comments. He does get the aged hippies stopping him and telling him "cool car man". His girlfreind is also 6'2" tall and stunning so he never knows if the looks are about the car or the girl.

I get lots of comments - but the most offensive one I received was a guy who pulled up beside me, asked what kind of car it was and then told me I should dye my hair blonde. As a natural redhead - I found that a bit irksome.

I work in an all-female office (not an intentional effort). We are currently enduring a prolonged transit strike and the city is crippled by a dramatic increase in the number of vehicles on the road. Every day we have stories about yahoos who cut us off. We find that a small gesture with two fingers which indicates an assumption about the size of their naughty bits is an appropriate insult.
