Day 16: Flippin' the Bird Day

Our task today was to "discreetly give people the finger all day." Once again, I kind of forgot about it in the morning, so I started the task in Oceanography class. My most used technique of the entire day was when I had my head resting on my chin in class, I would leave just my middle finger up on the side of my face. I caught a girl looking at me once, but I don't think she even noticed it. I would also fake scratch my face or rub my eye or push my bangs out of the way with my middle finger too.

Once I got home my sister and I were watching TV and something came up in a commercial and I was like, "Look!" and I pointed with my middle finger, but she didn't even notice. I hate it when teachers use their middle fingers to point at something on the board, or at a problem in the book. It's like...why not just use your pointer finger? Isn't that why they named it the pointer finger, so it could point?? I also used my middle finger while doing stuff at work, like when showing the desert tray, I would point to the desert with my middle finger and say, "This is the sugar-free chocolate cake, this is the cherry pie...." but of course no one would notice that because people point with their middle finger anyways. I would also leave my hands in my apron when I had nothing to do, and I would stand there with just my middle finger sticking out of the pocket of my apron while the rest were inside the pocket. It felt wrong flipping off the old people though, so I didn't do it too much. I kinda wish someone had seen me doing it today and they approached me about it because I would have blatantly lied to them and just acted clueless like I had done nothing. I really wanted that to happen actually.
