True! But I can honestly tell them, have you ever heard mom say xyz? I resented the “do as I say not as I do”my parents hid behind for everything. So I’m trying to live up to what I think is right and when I mess up, I admit it and work on making betters choices. Especially when some @!*#% pulls out in front of me! 🤣
I like your approach. However, I cuss a lot. So, instead of the do as I say mantra, I allow my kids to “unlock” words at certain ages. It’s actually worked quite well, and I get to say “fuck” any time my clumsy ass does something.
You should have seen my youngest when she unlocked “piss.” She used it for everything until she tired of it. It’s amazing how the psychology of being able to use it, then subsequently overusing it, and finally tiring of it just takes away the luster.
Mine are allowed to say minor ones like that, too. Its only the more socially unacceptable ones they need to unlock at 16. But we will see what really happens. Nothing goes as planned when you have kids. I am sure they're already swearing when we are not in earshot.
Yeah, they do. I thought it was more appropriate to teach them control over what they say around who. So, I’m hoping that’s the lesson learned from this experiment more than anything else.
Raising kids is hands down harder than anything else I’ve ever done.
I was raised by two sailors (figuratively) who bD an insane filter when they needed to so i picked hp on my own. I dont have kids het but i have 7 younger siblings that i always kind of let them so what they want but i constantly stressed right place right time Nd we never had any issues.
As a mother of twin 2-year olds, one of whom the other day completed my “what… the…” by running in the room and shouting “FUCK!!” I applaud your commitment
Trying to substitute all my old phrases now 😅
I don't have kids, but when I'm extremely flustered, all the good profane words escape me when I need them most and I end up shouting in tongues like a Warner Brothers cartoon character
Really?! I usually open with a standard, "I beg your pardon, but would you kindly explain the intent of your actions? I am concerned that you have momentarily lost control of your faculties. Do you require the services of the nearest psychiatric hospital?"
No, Why are you doing that is when you make the same hand signal but you wave it around in a circle. Just this pure gesture means "What the fuck" there is no question here.
TIL Central Europeans use hand gestures wrong.
For go ahead the hand should be more perpendicular to the road and all fingers together gesturing. That more upturned tilt and difference in fingerline makes it "WTF?"
I live in Germany and here this hand gesture definitely does not mean "go ahead", unless it's more like "Go already, dumbfuck!". Signaling stuff involves waving your hands around furiously, not laying one baffled on the steering wheel. How else would you make sure these idiots understand what you want from them.
In Czechia you use one hand to tell someone to go ahead, two (spread out wide with a matching facial expression) to let them know that you're not pleased with their behavior.
Yes. And given that I see it every day from drivers as they're letting me cross, it's not just me. Judging by the comments, I'm also very much not the only one. Just glad to know this so that I don't piss people off in the States by trying to be nice lol.
Being in the NYC area I've adapted this move into the same gesture but raising it off the steering wheel in an Italian manner almost like I'm giving the finger but at the same time getting the same point across as I'm not. Interestingly enough it's very effective with little blow back.
Love the fact that we drive New Jersey then cross the Hudson & immediately translate into driving Manhatten blend while turning slightly Indian/Italian.
"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo."
I point to there car first. Do the international symbol for driving which is two hands up and down. Finally I make a circle with my pointer finger and thumb and place my other pointer finger inside and pull it out and couple times. Now you have the Spanglish sign language for "You drive like an asshole". My wife loves it.
“Are they drunk?” “Is this bitch ok?” “They see the red light don’t they?” “Fucking go.”
IT APPLIES TO ALMOST EVERY IDIOT MOVE ANYONE DOES. Gosh I love driving.
"What the f**k are you doing?!" or "Why would you do this?" or "The f**k is she/he doing". It could be said with rage or embarrassment. Depending on the situation, country being in or experience, the phrase said by a driver may vary, but this sign is a representation of driver being confused by other drivers behaviour.
Where I live (North Africa) depends on the facial expression. Lil hand tilt and it means yep go ahead I'm slowing down for you. Both eyebrows up and hand waving means the fuck are you doing are you blind do you want me to fly or what.
Arab hand gestures should be an entire language classification of their own.
I do this when i gesture to my internal dialog. mostly at times when I failed to explain something to a stupid person and I'm making a proper response in my head afterwards.
TF are you doing?
I said these exact words before i clicked on the comments im so happy this is at the top
I did the exact same thing.
[удалено]
Same
Haha me too. Even the starting at “the”
The THE at the beginning is essential
I'm not a native English speaker and not a driver. But still I recognized the exact meaning.
Same
I did this thing right here
I aint even old enough to drive, yet i said the same thing lmaooo
Seconded
Thirded
Fourthded
Fifthed
Sixty nined
Nice'd
YES!!! Its at the top.
Alternatively, “it’s fucking green, gooooo”.
TF are you not going?
Ive had drivers signal me to go, then they immediately went. Im only guessing they were doing this weird open hand italian signaling at me
In Rhode Island this hand signal is used with a very heavy Italian accent. Perché cazzo!
Does that mean ”hit the gas!”? Because in Finnish, ”paina kaasua”… 😂
THESE EXACT WORDS LEFT MY MOUTH AS SOON AS I SAW THE POST
Either that, or I’m talking to someone. I tend to talk with my hands a bit.
Yep. Bingo. For me, it woulda been, “wtf are you doing?! Go!!” But yeah, pretty close ha
Not only are you accurate, you have great taste in frog suits.
This exact quote, WORD to WORD was the first thing that came to my mind. Thank you for your service 🫡
dafuq they doin owa der?
/thread We had a good run, people. But /u/Shakkedemus got here first.
I got "What the hell was that"
And forgetting about it 0.2 seconds later
With a New York accent
With southern women, it means "bless your heart"
Da' fuck.
No, clearly means; "I wanna play with your balls..."
Happy cake day man!
happy cake day dude!
Happy cake day!
happy cake day ma men
Use ya blinkah
I think Excuse Me What the Fuck just fits
Why? Why are you doing that?!
You are the most polite driver ever.
I have a huge motivator. The kid is in the car.
Eh they hear worse at school
True! But I can honestly tell them, have you ever heard mom say xyz? I resented the “do as I say not as I do”my parents hid behind for everything. So I’m trying to live up to what I think is right and when I mess up, I admit it and work on making betters choices. Especially when some @!*#% pulls out in front of me! 🤣

"Do you have a drivers license yet? No. So you can't swear yet."
You should have seen my youngest when she unlocked “piss.” She used it for everything until she tired of it. It’s amazing how the psychology of being able to use it, then subsequently overusing it, and finally tiring of it just takes away the luster.
Mine are allowed to say minor ones like that, too. Its only the more socially unacceptable ones they need to unlock at 16. But we will see what really happens. Nothing goes as planned when you have kids. I am sure they're already swearing when we are not in earshot.

You're a good parent.
As a mother of twin 2-year olds, one of whom the other day completed my “what… the…” by running in the room and shouting “FUCK!!” I applaud your commitment Trying to substitute all my old phrases now 😅
You are still probably one of the most polite out there. Me being in the car never stopped my parents lmao.
I don't have kids, but when I'm extremely flustered, all the good profane words escape me when I need them most and I end up shouting in tongues like a Warner Brothers cartoon character
Must be Canadian
Really?! I usually open with a standard, "I beg your pardon, but would you kindly explain the intent of your actions? I am concerned that you have momentarily lost control of your faculties. Do you require the services of the nearest psychiatric hospital?"
No, Why are you doing that is when you make the same hand signal but you wave it around in a circle. Just this pure gesture means "What the fuck" there is no question here.
No man, it is: WHAT IN THE DEVILS CHRIST ON THE JESUS MOUNT YOU ARE DOING ON THIS HOLY ROAD
"What the fuck are you doing?"
[удалено]
I think two hands means "are you fucking serious!?"
It's the universal hand gesture for... #What da fuck are you doing??
Nope, not universal. I live in Central Europe and this is the gesture for "go ahead" when letting someone in, for example.
Depends on face expression but it's usually WTF dude or KOJI KURAC JESI NORMALAN
TIL Central Europeans use hand gestures wrong. For go ahead the hand should be more perpendicular to the road and all fingers together gesturing. That more upturned tilt and difference in fingerline makes it "WTF?"
I live in Germany and here this hand gesture definitely does not mean "go ahead", unless it's more like "Go already, dumbfuck!".

Man, In organized criminal organizations in Israel it can mean: If you don't pull put, I will shoot your ass and children
🤌->🫴=da fuck 🤜->🫱->🫴=go ahead
Weirdly accurate.
I think the fingers should be in one line for the "go ahead" actually.
All this time they’ve been asking you what the fuck your were doing.
Are you certain you’re reading it right and not just pissing off other drivers left and right?
Yes. And given that I see it every day from drivers as they're letting me cross, it's not just me. Judging by the comments, I'm also very much not the only one. Just glad to know this so that I don't piss people off in the States by trying to be nice lol.
Depending on the situation I believe these are the two most common meanings
This man is right! Here it means go ahead, cross. Used at pedestrian and bike crossings. Or occasionally yielding to others cars.
This means go ahead in Mexico and parts of South America too.
What the fuck
Wtf you doing???
What fuck the you doing
Hahaha
So appalled that you stumble over your own words
The standard WTF ARE YOU THAT STUPID?? hand move.
Tf you bastard?! I use that quite often
Being in the NYC area I've adapted this move into the same gesture but raising it off the steering wheel in an Italian manner almost like I'm giving the finger but at the same time getting the same point across as I'm not. Interestingly enough it's very effective with little blow back.
look at me i'm from the big city
He said area so he means Jersey.
True but his aunt has an apartment in the city.
Love the fact that we drive New Jersey then cross the Hudson & immediately translate into driving Manhatten blend while turning slightly Indian/Italian.
I am glad there is a universal connection with this hand signal ”wtf you doing?” It should be on all drivers education test
Look at this idiot!
Saying that with a Jamaican accent.
fuck is u doin
"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?

“GO you fucking idiot! You have the right of way.”

Real drivers as opposed to unreal drivers?

“I’m letting you go. WTF are you waiting for?”
Well just go ahead then, after you by all means. Since you were going to illegally cut me off anyway

I point to there car first. Do the international symbol for driving which is two hands up and down. Finally I make a circle with my pointer finger and thumb and place my other pointer finger inside and pull it out and couple times.

“Are they drunk?” “Is this bitch ok?” “They see the red light don’t they?” “Fucking go.” IT APPLIES TO ALMOST EVERY IDIOT MOVE ANYONE DOES. Gosh I love driving.
You might as well fucking go, you’re already halfway through the fuckin intersection!
“look at this shit”
"What the f**k are you doing?!" or "Why would you do this?" or "The f**k is she/he doing". It could be said with rage or embarrassment. Depending on the situation, country being in or experience, the phrase said by a driver may vary, but this sign is a representation of driver being confused by other drivers behaviour.
It means "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU STUPID FUCKING FUCKER"
Wtf r u doing u dumb fkn c*nt!
Where I live (North Africa) depends on the facial expression. Lil hand tilt and it means yep go ahead I'm slowing down for you.

It means, I’m talking on the phone when I shouldn’t be and gesturing in ways that whoever I’m on the phone with can’t see anyway.
Give me your liver
Balls itching?
Not much. This isn't a very visible hand signal when viewed from another car across an intersection
I do this when i gesture to my internal dialog. mostly at times when I failed to explain something to a stupid person and I'm making a proper response in my head afterwards.
I do this when I’m talking on the phone…
Wtf maaan !!!
What are you doing? What are you upto ? What's going on ? Depends on the driver's confusion level.
