I'm watching the Pledge Drive episode and I've seen it countless times before and it always seemed like George was overeacting thinking that the waitress was purposefully giving him the finger. Tonight while watching it I noticed that whenever the waitress speaks to George there's a coolness to her voice like she's annoyed and doesn't like George, she doesn't sound that way when seaking to Kramer or Jerry. So was it meant to be intentional?

I would think so - it added to his paranoia.

i don't think so because in some (european) countries people point with their middle finger (makes sense, as it's the longest)
