Being this far North does strange things to people...

I was walking back from the store today when I saw something interesting. I was just about to cross the street, but the light changed, so I stopped. However, across the street this one woman in her mid to late 30's saw the light about to change and hurried to cross the street. Nothing unusual there. Here's where it gets interesting: she hurries to the center of the road, stops, lifts her arm high, and raises her middle finger to the cars across the intersection waiting for her to cross so they can go. She then takes off her hat and makes a deep, formal bow and finishes crossing the street.
