Moral of the story: Don't be a dick. I can't remember the last time I flipped someone off. Certainly not some truck driver passing another truck slower than I would like. I reserve…

I know of at least one company that tried this and failed. It was quite a long time ago and targeted large companies, but it did work. To give you an idea of how long ago, it was w…
