Gen Z drivers say this gesture is a bigger insult than flipping the bird

[Yappi]

Gabrielle Deleon might only be 4-foot-6 — yet the 28-year-old social media manager can be an absolute lion in rush-hour traffic.

But she doesn’t display her road rage with her middle finger or by honking her horn.

In recent months, she’s been expressing her anger from behind the wheel with a thumbs-down.

“It’s much more impactful than giving the middle finger because it’s such a major sign of disapproval,” she told The Post. “It just hits different.”

Sorry, middle finger — you’ve just been cancelled.

I would have to laugh if I ever saw someone give me the thumbs down while driving.

Somebody trying to make something that isn't a thing, a thing. Seriously, who is "Gabriell Deleon" and how was this person picked to be an expert in anything? The best thing about this article is it gives normal people someone to laugh at. Thumbs down.

Is it misgendering someone?

The thought that I should care what someone 25 and under thinks is hilarious.

At 4-6 is she a dwarf or a midget? Are both of those words bad now?

I would flip them the bird.

I usually give the A-OK sign, that carries a lot more impact.

How does she see over the dashboard to do it?

The same way you drove your buddies around in mom's station wagon, phone book and blocks.

Are phone books still a thing?

Hell I have clothes older than Gabby. Why would I give a crap of her "sign of disapproval"?

No. Phone books have ceased to exist for a few years in our area. We use old VHS tapes as booster seats for the grandkids. Any small final adjustments can be made with DVD'S we don't like or watch anymore. That gets it down to the closest 1/2 inch of height needed.

Omar the Dbag is a dwarf, mommas boy! I myself prefer midget but the politically correct folks I think say Little People. Hard to misgender someone when there are only 2 genders!
