wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Like most of you, I learned about the courtesy wave(the wave you give or get for doing such things while driving like letting people out at an intersection, or letting someone go first at a stop sign), from seeing my parents and fellow drivers when I was learning to drive. But its almost a dead art. Not only do I see younger drivers not doing it, I see older drivers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah I let someone go in front of me the other day and didn't get a wave. I was so pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I do not do it in the winter; I have tinted windows and you wouldn't be able to see me do it. I'm guessing most people still have appreciation for courtesy even when not showing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm not getting the wave much anymore either. So sad. I like Jeff Foxworthy's standup bit about if someone doesn't give you the wave, you should be allowed to get up under them and shove them into the wall. Good stuff.

Pedro1647545510 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I used to get pissed when I didn't get the courtesy wave. Now, i'm more surprised when someone does wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I always wave because I used to listen to my mom bitch and bitch and bitch in the car when people didn't wave to her. No one has common courtesy these days, it's not just the wave while driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Corvette guys do it all the time. When I'm driving Cleetus, I wave all the time entering onramps. It's a regular cab, so I'm right up against the rear glass...I keep "the wave" alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 All I give is my middle finger to drivers. You don't want trowa to wave at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moostang Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 thats my biggest pet peeve. it pisses me off more then anything. I let someone do something nice and they dont wave. I even wave when someone is flipping me off for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I always make a point to wave, unless I am forced to bully my way into a lane. Then that guy I cut off can go fuck himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Like it was said above it's just not the wave anymore.......no one signals, turns on their damn lights at night, goes right for lights and sirens. etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 i do it. all the time. +1 I'm also a big fan of using the horn when people make stupid decisions while driving which typically earns me a nice middle finger. Hello, you're the one that just screwed up and my honking is me making you aware of it. Don't flip me off because you're a moron and I pointed it out.

dragknee66 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Funny you mention that.. Ive been thinking about this for a while too. I did get the wave 2 days ago and was totally shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Even if I have to wedge my fat truck in front of someone, I still wave. Either that prick had a bad day and needed a random dose of kindness, or they just have a habit of riding people too close. Either way, I'm now in front of said prick. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:VDopa8L-l04p4M%3Ahttp://images.zaazu.com/img/bye-bye-male-smiley-smiley-emoticon-000291-large.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sad but true. The wave is dying in the face of our entitlest society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 i always give the wave if someone lets me out of a parking lot on a busy street, lets me merge in, etc. but what annoys me is when i give the wave, and i dont get one back, then i feel like they didn't see my wave, and i feel like they may be thinking im a bit of an asshole. hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I always wave. I was just wondering about this the other day though. People just dont give a f&^k anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 when I let out "lower ranking" cars while in my t/a There are cars ranked lower than trans ams??!!?? Since when? kekekekekek I always wave. And just like how I expect you to say thank you when I hold the door open for you into a building, I expect a wave when I let you into traffic.
