It's a 'Sorry, I'm an idiot wave' accompanied with the wincing, I'm an idiot face. It's better than the alternative, which is the stare straight ahead as if you didn't do anything wrong and you don't even see the person. That REALLY bugs me. After I've nearly been killed, I'd rather be acknowledged in some way than ignored.

The intent being to cause the person to feel stupid for having waved at a passing car whom they didn't know and who was not waving at them. It worked most of the time, or at least generated confused looks from the passersby who were honked at. Often times the person doing the honking was not actually the driver which was annoying if the honker was in the passenger seat and outright dangerous if they were in the back.<BR/><BR/>The moral of the story? My friends were idiots.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see that you're back blogging Jenni. :)Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097483445247878842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9973874.post-38025214032330272082007-02-16T22:09:00.000-06:002007-02-16T22:09:00.000-06:00I did the courtesy wave after I accidentally ran o...I did the courtesy wave after I accidentally ran over my neighbor's new puppy....is that not the right place to use it?<BR/><BR/>I also get pissy when people don't give me the wave after I let them in or whatever.

Luckily for me, this is a VERY rare occurrence and I have tinted windows so they probably never see it. Ha ha! I am now a very wave-aware person.
