Thumbs Down

I love my husband. He makes me laugh everyday. Now, you should know that I am in impatient driver. Well, Nathan is "an abide by every traffic law" type of driver. And if he we are driving and someone does something that he doesn't think is appropriate he gets upset and likes to tell me about how they are not good drivers. Well, I think he's found a way to let them know how he feels. He's been "preaching" his new philosophy whenever we're in the car:
There is no reason to flip someone off when you're driving because it just makes them mad and more likely to continue in their bad driving habit. A thumbs down, however, makes them think about it. If someone gets a thumbs down they think, "What? Did he just give me a thumbs down? Oh, :( thumbs down." And they feel bad about it. Unfortunately, no one ever actually sees you give them a thumbs down. Well, I have taken on this philosophy only not in my driving. If I don't like something I give a thumbs down and say "thumbs down". This has caught on at work and I even have some of my co-workers doing it as well. So if ever you are upset at something or don't like the situation, just give it a thumbs down.
