when my friend and me were in fourth grade, she said that if u did the middle finger and touched it to something, like for example a pencil, then if u touched that pencil u would be cursed and get cooties or something like that. on the bus once i "accidentally" gave the middle finger and touched it to the front of the seat in front of us. for the rest of the ride, we sat indian style on the seat, desperately trying not to touch the seat in front of us
