The car beside me hit its brakes ( softly and safely ) immediately upon realizing the mistake . All 's good . Let 's go take on the day . Then the car that had been delayed ever so slightly passed by in front of us with the rear passenger flashing the angriest obscene gesture I ' ve seen in a while . And not just with one finger . He did the unfake double handed gesture for emphasis . Sheesh . At that moment I had the life force sucked out of me .

Question: Why in the world did the passenger in the car that passed the author give an obscene gesture ?
Answer: Because they had to stop suddenly due to the sudden braking of the cars in front , and apparently that just ruined their moment .Because they enjoyed doing hand signals and sign language .Because they did not like having the life force sucked out of them .Because they wanted to take on the day with out a delay .
