I'll look dead at them and if/when they start toward me I'll shake my head no...

Avoiding eye contact is effective but actively aggravating people is so much more fun. Besides, my doctor told me to. Well he said to reduce stress and laugh more...same difference.

Cracking me up here. What you should do is hold up a dollar to your window and then not roll it down. Hilarity ensues.

I need to make signs and hold them up. This is how it would play out...

Stop at a light and see one of these goons. Hold up a $5 or something (rarely carry anything much smaller for some reason). Goon runs toward me. Window stays up but sign number one goes up.

Sign: I don't mind helping out but you have to earn it.

Goon looks confused so sign number 2 goes up.

Sign: Dance.

Goon looks angry, time for sign number 3

Sign: I mean if you don't want it... (as I tauntingly wave the $5 bill in front of him)

On the off chance he starts dancing sign number 4 comes up when the light turns.

Sign: Can't believe you went for that. I almost feel bad enough to actually give you the money but you'd probably spend it on booze...

As I drive off...

Fantastic. Could have it where you just flip through the signs to make it easy to switch signs.

Go buy a bunch of quick pick powerball tickets and, if they don't win, drop them in the buckets. When the guy complains that they're worthless just look at him and say "you don't know that..."

Reading back over the last couple of pages, I'm realizing that I am truly a horrible person deep down inside.
