how do you guys respond to..
..being flipped off?
Do you flip them back? Maybe wave and smile instead? Or, quickly pull out a handgun and express willingness to use it? Plain ignore?
Just curious...I noticed the hate sign first time today; I flipped off that punk back rather automatically right away without even thinking about it, but maybe other response is more appropriate, or maybe more fun? What are your opinions?

Re: how do you guys respond to..
I got flipped off by a cute drunk chick, all while she was yelling "HUMMER'S SUCK!"
I smiled and responded "No HUMMER's rock! I bet you give some great ones!"
Her friend who looked embarrased died of laughter, and the drunk chick couldn't help but crack a smile, but still continued to yell mindlessly how HUMMER's are evil.
Don't take it personally, anyone who hates these trucks does it to feel cool, they think it's the "in" thing to do. They don't really hate them, and would probably drive on if they could.
If you don't take it personally it bugs them.

Re: how do you guys respond to..
One of my wifes friends was shocked when we told her we got an H3. Saying "hummers are so bad for the environment". And whenever she would talk about it, she would make coughing sounds while saying "hummer" as if choking from the pollution. It was everything I could do to not tell her everything I thought about her actions and obvious environmental lemming-ness. Out of respect for my wife I kept my mouth shut. I hate mindless followers and people that make comments (including the finger) about stuff they have no idea about.

Re: how do you guys respond to..
Seriously, the H3 is so much better than a lot of other new vehicles not to mention some of the 20 - 30 year old vehicles out there. Some people are just ignorant. I've not encountered anything except good-natured ribbing by a tree hugger friend who has a hybrid. I think I'd be shocked to get flipped off for just owning a H3, so I'd probably do nothing.

Re: how do you guys respond to..
I was ripped into at a gas station by a tree hugger driving a prius. I was filling up and she came over ranting about how much my H3 was a gas guzzler and its bad for the environment. When she was done, I responded and asked her what she was going to do with all that hazardous waste she is driving around in when she is done with her environmentally safe vehicle. You know, the couple of hundred pounds of battery that is in your trunk. I'm sure that's safe for the rest of the evironment when they go. She turned red and stamped off.

The GUN is the sensible thing to pull out ... you get no back talk, no fingers, no mouthy tree hugger responses.
It allows you the freedon to speak your peace without interuption...
go for it...
I suggest a 44mag 6" or anything else massive, scarey and that demands respect (maybe a Mossburg 500 18 1/2" pistol grip pump)

Re: how do you guys respond to..
The best argument to ignorance is truth. My H3 gets 16-20mpg and I tell folks about it. No big deal. People are suprised to hear it and respond favorably.
If they flip you the sign. Ignor it they might have a 12 ga. handy!

Re: how do you guys respond to..
I have generally had good responses from people about my H3. It took my coworkers awhile to figure out that I had a H3 and not a H2.
They are also surprised about the gas mileage that i get in it. Only bad experience I had was someone left a note on my windshield saying "gas guzzler". Ironically I was parked next to an older full size ford truck which I know I get better mileage than it.
On a Hummer happening we were driving convoy back to the hotel in Reno. We drove by a park with a bunch of kids playing, and a teenager on a scooter flipped us off. We just waved and kept on going.

Re: how do you guys respond to..
I was on the freeway once and passed a old beater truck that had a piece of paper in the window that said huck your fummer...had an old lady in some three wheeler electric car give me the evil eye and the finger. But thats about it. Now I just watch people reading my back window when they are behind me because them laughing makes me laugh.

Re: how do you guys respond to..
Nobody flips me off...but then again I have Veteran plates and dogtags hanging on my rear view.
Or it could be because of my POW/MIA, Retired Air Force, or Veteran of Foreign Wars of the United States stickers...back window, you know.

OK,
I think your're right - would this be about adequate reply to those who enjoy flipping off Hummer drivers... or you think it may be overly harsh?

I stumbled upon this vehicle while wheeling in my area yesterday. From the viciousness of the attack I concluded that someone undoubtedly flipped off a short tempered Hummer driver?
