I’m directing a car commercial and it’s about how people across the USA deal with road rage. Its a funny commercial so these should be hilarious things that you guys do in your part of the country.

So where are you from and what do you do?

Flip the bird?

Throw money?

Throw food?

Say a prayer?

Honk Beethoven’s 5th?

Punch the roof 3 times?

I’m from Alabama. I usually just say “Oh come on” and then just deal with it. I’m pretty passive.

AGGRESSIVELY PASS EVERYONE AND TURN WITHOUT INDICATING

I give them the “Hand”. Where I raise one hand way in the air and hold it there. No fist though. Just an open hand of WTF?!

Oh god. It depends. Anywhere from flip the bird to yell obscenities out the window.

I make sure I have the rage drivers attention and then I do my best sarcastic “cry baby” face, and say things like “whaaaaaa, you’re so mad!”.

That one is too upbeat

Yea, that is more like it.

Mostly go passive aggressive and let them work themselves into a fury.

From Missourah (as our governor says)

It depends on the infraction.

Usually I just shout obscenities to myself in my car at the other driver. Or honk.

“that you guys do in your part of the country” Sexist....

Also, I will box the person in if given a chance. Or I will just move over to the slow lane and relax if traffic is kind of heavy. Fighting traffic is like pissing in the wind.

Boston.

Single finger salute.

Alternatively, I blast my music to drown out my anger.

If it’s a single lane road and I’m in front, I slow down.

A lot.

Otherwise I just call the person a moron or idiot and move on.

I don’t road rage. I just continue on my happy way like nothing happened. :)

Originally from Wisconsin...lived all over. I got “The Hand” from my time in Saudi Arabia as it was hilarious and I added it to my bag of tricks.

I generally give them the biggest, goofiest smile I can make, while happily waving like little kid waving to Mickey Mouse at Disney World.

Wave and smile but I might try the sarcastic boo hoo face next time out. From Michigan where its an act of war to pass someone.

I blow them a kiss and wink at them while flashing the biggest smile.

I’m in Texas.

I just say things like “WOOOOWWW” sarcastically or “idiot/stupid/etc” or Luigi Death Stare, or WTF hand gesture. Pretty much the opposite of the NY’er stereotype.

I do the same as sonicgabe (Metro Detroit)

I know this is common because I did it to someone and as I was pulling up next time to him GOOF SMILING and waving - he was doing the same thing back it me.

It was awesome and totally de-escalated the situation as we laughed our asses off.

I suggest stealing one of the traffic jam sight gags from the original Italian Job, with a guy sitting in his sunroof reading a newspaper with a foot on the horn.

I live in the Philadelphia metro area. I generally just shrug my shoulders and get a WTF kind of look on my face. I find overreacting doesn't really solve anything.

St Petersburg, FL.

It’s mostly done to old people and the asshole subset of BMW drivers.
