traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,350 Points:559,780 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Feb 8, 2013 2:56:23 PM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse I'm not on the Force now (retired) but one of the really gratifying things about being a cop was writing a "prima facie" ticket--sending the registered owner a ticket in the mail. I would do it mostly for egregious violations. But spout off, give me the bird, and a cop can always write down the license plate, and send you a "Hallmark" (for when you care enough to send the very best). Doesn't matter who's driving. That ticket will be paid! Something to think about.

Sorry Mr and Mrs chickadee but the "bird" is more popular than you especially in the environs of Boston and eastern Mass.

Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,493 Points:136,115 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Feb 7, 2013 2:36:30 PM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse ::::Yes it was clear, babyish means like an infant, something a baby would day.::: Very well, whichever term suits you. Nonetheless flipping someone off shows the flipper allows other people to control them. An adult does not flip others off as an adult is in control of themselves.

Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,493 Points:136,115 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Feb 6, 2013 12:51:40 PM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse QUOTE ::::Wow, you must hang out with some tough babies, they sure are learning bad habits early these days.:::: My response was clear. It is grossly immature to allow another driver to aggravate you where you flip them off. I never allow strangers to control my emotions or behavior. Flipping someone off is proof positive that you are not in control of yourself, that you are controlled by people you don't know.
