Every time somebody sends me a thumb I take it as “whatever you say you fucking dumbass” and it pisses me off.

And ya, I’m aware that that the replies are going to be thumbs, let’s see em ya jerks!!!

    I had this discussion with my wife a few weeks ago. She did that to a work colleague who took offense to it. I explained that that’s because her colleague is about 8 years younger than us.

    Basically, if the recipient is 35 and under, it’s offensive. If they’re 40 and older, it’s not. Anywhere in between, look for context.
