      I read a comment somewhere that said don’t give the middle finger back, instead give a thumbs down because somehow it feels more offensive. I dont know why, but i completely agree. Sadly I have yet to use this despite having a few opportunities but completely forgot about it in the heat of the moment.

        I’ve done this for decades. Nothing like a thumbs down and a big grin to absolutely RUIN someone’s day when they’re being an asshole.

        I completely get the idea, but for me, if someone cheers on my stupidity, it makes me instantly feel shame. Have someone told you you’re doing a great job when you very obviously couldn’t be doing worse just to get a rise? I feel it’s a similar thing. Either way, you do you.
