Thank you?


I usually give a little "thank you" wave when someone lets me into traffic (or even if I wedge myself in) but sometimes I wonder if it could be misinterpreted. It was pretty common when I was growing up (up north), but I don't see it much lately and I don't know if it's a regional thing or maybe it's just a sign of the times.

Sometimes I wish I had a little sign in the back window with a few pre-programmed messages.

A friendly wave is always appreciated, even in TX.

I usually just flash a peace sign myself.

This was all an extensive search of "hand signals" turned up.

Well there's the ASL thank you...not everyone knows it though and if you do it to some Italian dude the he might mistake it for "fuck off"

In a car I just wave in the air or flash my hazards twice
