I was gonna word it as “flip off” but I think that might’ve been confusing.
My answer would generally be a few times a week for various reasons.
I worked in steel shops and we would always walk by each other and be like "hey mike"and already have the middle finger up. Drop something? Flip it off. Welder stops mid weld because someone flipped your breaker? Flip off the welder and the guy. etc. All day every day. I miss those fuckers.
hardly any ‘salutes’ to the screen, but definitely some uh… ‘verbal exchange’ happening. usually several times a day, and you wouldn’t want children nearby if i’m really on roll because windows fucked something up big time. aaaaand, occasionally to and at myself because every now-and-then it truly is my fault.
When YouTube flips to a loud ad and I’m too slow to the mute button, I for sure tell the TV to fuck off and give it the finger.
For sure a few times a week.
lol, watching ads
lol this is almost my exact reason for posting this…
Install SmartTube if your TV / streaming device supports it. It comes with adblock and sponsorblock.
Depends on how frustrated I am with the game I’m playing at the time or how hard I beat the fuck out of an annoying enemy.
Every time I have to do something in a Microsoft admin interface at work. Worst software on the planet, fuck SharePoint, fuck Teams, burn it all to the ground.
On phone i have adblock. Middle finger to ATM every time i see ad there. ATM have camera, which is adds value to middle finger.
Windows update at work? That’s a one finger salute! Phone notification that’s not the spouse? Finger! All my packages are up to date and I can’t get my -Syu dopamine hit? Double fingers!
…so probably at least once a day?
I run my own repo for my AUR packages, with the help of aurutils, on a VM, which also needs updates. That way I get to run updates for my server before building packages before running even more updates on my clients. Makes the update O exponentially better 🤤
I used to work front-line CS for e-commerce owned by Alibaba in my country.
So several times a day. Never felt rage like those ever since. I last 2 months.
… never?? is this something people do, first time i’m hearing of it
I don’t think I’ve flipped the bird since grade school. It feels really juvenile and awkward for me. I do swear a lot though.
Flipped off my Mac two days ago and texted it to a friend who shares my annoyance with forced updates
Mac doesn’t do forced updates. You definitely accepted to pop-up to update.
Yeah I think there was a pop the day before to update now, tonight, to remind me later, or to skip. Just kidding, no skip.
Yup exactly. If you pick the right option, you’ll never have to wait for an update again.
Rarely, and never to the machine itself, but some asshole who shows up.
I don’t get mad at machines. That’s like getting mad at a fork for not being a spoon.
never. Im not much of a middle finger guy.
At least every week
I middle finger many objects (and a few people) throughout the day.
I usually just mutter “fuckin’ piece of shit” but sometimes I yell that.
