On some Seinfeld shit.....

[The Notorious LOL]

the obligatory wave in traffic is the most unnecessary thing on the planet and every single person does it. Its been pissing me off lately. Yeah, someone let you in...why wave at them?

[ScarySquirrel]

It's kind of like saying "Thank you."

It's just manners and polite.

[QueenAdrock]

Yeah when I go out of my way to open a gap up and they don't wave, it's like they expected me to do it. Like when you open a door for someone and they just walk through and don't even acknowledge you. It seems very ungrateful on their part.

[Documad]

I'm a big waver and I expect a wave if I let you in -- especially if you weren't planning ahead and got stuck over there because you're a dumbass.

[Bob]

if people don't wave when i let them in, i'll usually follow them home and run them down in the driveway

man, that stuff bugs me

and if I dont wave? its too late you cant do shit and Ive won.

not if i'm carrying a baseball bat you haven't (i am)

[Documad]

Truth be told, now that my car is older, I've started reverting to my old technique. When driving in daytime traffic, I make a point of merging without signalling and without even looking. People with nicer cars tend to let me in. I feel that if I look over my shoulder, I'll be giving up some of my power.

[QueenAdrock]

That's what I loved about my old car. People knew I didn't care if I got it fucked up. That got me respect on the road.

[tracky]

it's called common courtesy

[jabumbo]

it really fucking bugs me when people don't use thier turn signals


the worst is when they dont signal to change lanes, and then put their signal on when they are in a turning lane. fuckers, i'll run you down

[Justin]

I wish the fucking city buses would get the fuck out of the way during rush hour traffic downtown!

also, i have a problem with pedestrians walking out in front of me when the light turns green. Run or get ran over!

in boston, the pedestrian lights and streetlights are fucking nuts (well, they would be if anyone, and i do mean anyone, paid any attention to the pedestrian lights). basically, it's fairly common for the "walk" sign to be on, and for cars that would want to drive across that crosswalk to have a green light at the same time. i don't get it. it leads to a lot of surprised pedestrians getting honked at (and not caring, because it's boston).

apparently in LA, you can actually get a ticket if you cross the street when the "walk" sign isn't lit. i think that's hilarious

Ha.

I'm a pretty considerate driver, myself. And yeah, if I don't get that wave, I put that driver on my shit list. Meaning, if he's traveling in the same direction as me for a while and needs another act of courtesy from me, he/she's SCREWED.

I know how you feel, I hate that part of human exhange these days.I've grown to hate it because of all the ignorant cunts who don't acknowledge me when I give way for them....especially bastards in 4x4's

CUNTSHITFUCKS! who probably think Razorlight is a good band,but they are not...They are fucking shithouse beyond belief!

[HOTWIFE]

I like to give the 'fuck you' wave-i flip the bird as i wave, and they never notice. it cracks me up. i have a boring life.

yesterday someone who couldn't drive a van and look right at the roundabout as I was travelling over it,probably was suprised that I was there and that I just stopped and waved him on with a smile.I was on my way home from work and there wasn't much traffic and I was too tired to get aggro

[HOTWIFE]

since we're getting all seinfeld-y, can i just say that I friggin hate roundabouts! (Or rotaries, as we over here call them). Most people in the US couldn't tell you what the hell a roundabout was since they're pretty concentrated here in Mass. Lucky me.

In my town there is one on every junction of the grid system and the council think it's wise to plant massive hedgerow on them so you can't see boy racers coming round them too fast so that when you pull out to go you have to slam on the brakes

they're CAROUSELS OF DEATH i tell ya! that's what i call them.

haha!, true!....at one junction near my house is a major crash zone...I try and avoid it if I can

[hitmonlee]

its like that here too, we call it jaywalking. like a $50 fine.

if you cross the road near a set of lights but not at a set of lights, you can get fined, as you are supposed to walk down to the lights. but instead of "walk" we have a little green man (or a red man). maybe we're illiterate.

[roosta]

im a fan of the wave....

[venusvenus123]

the wave is common courtesy.

over here, instead of a wave we also put the hazard lights on for a few seconds, which is like winking "thanks" to the person who let you in. sweet.

some people do both and i'm like "yeah, it's really ok!" hah.

[mikizee]

the roundabout is one of the greatest inventions ever. the person that invented them im a genius. i mean, think about it, they help direct traffic very efficiently, they cost fuck all to build and nothing to keep running. id much rather have a roundabout than a set of traffic lights.

[beastieangel01]

exactly. If someone doesn't wave, I want to bash their skull in. Ok not really, but I just get irked in general by people that are rude motherfuckers. This isn't really so bad compared to other things people do on the road.

I was stuck in traffic yesterday, and this guy behind me went to the right of me (where parking is supposed to be), then cut me off! It's not like I was going slow, there was fucking traffic. He was STILL STUCK WITH TRAFFIC even after getting in front of me. I got pissed but started to let it go. Then he turned where I had to turn, and got in the right lane. I was in the left. He then decides OH NO I NEED THE LEFT and cuts me off AGAIN.

I wanted to kick him in the face.

[miss soul fire]

I don't wave, I show my thumb! Pretty lame, I know!:D

[QueenAdrock]

We've got them in Maryland too. It's not that hard to deal with when there's 2 lanes. Outside lane goes straight through. Inside lane can go straight through OR keep turning and take the exit they choose. The outside lane CANNOT turn, because if the inside lane wants to go straight while the outside is turning BAM! Accident. Everyone outside the circle yields. NOT THAT HARD.

Yet everyone is like DAAAHH! These assholes are IN the circle, I'm outside waiting to get in, and they just stop. And stare. And I wave them on like FUCKING GOOOOO!!!! and they wave at me. THAT'S when the wave pisses me off. I WAS NOT DOING YOU A FAVOR, IT'S COMMON SENSE THAT I HAVE TO YIELD TO YOU!

Cough.

[skra75]

and what's up with those guys that pull out in front of you trying to cross the medium? Do they really think you're gonna slam on your breaks to let them weasle in?

*canned laughter*

but, seriously folks. It's nice to be here. Be sure to tip your waitress. She's working hard out there. She's the one with the dirty expression on her face right now. Don't say you don't sweetheart I can see you from here!

*canned laughter*

Anyways...

[ET]

All of the non waving is going to leave you with a potato in your tailpipe from an Anti-abortion/PRO-LYFE soccer mom. BE CAREFUL!

Anytime I get cut off by someone that doesn't use their turn signal I feel the need to blow out all of their tires with a sawed off 1887 Winchester shotgun (http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/trailer/10000888/Terminator2JudgmentDay-trailer_24.jpg) T2 style.

[Dr Deaf]

i wave twice. once to acknowledge the courtesy and once again when the manoeuvre is complete.

:cool:

anyone ever go by a speed trap and flash the oncoming traffic to warn them?

i do.

i <3 cops so much.

[voltanapricot]

I nearly wet myself when somebody did this during my driving test because you're told not to signal your lights to give people right of way. I just went anyway because I figured it was safe enough if they were waiting.

Sometimes whenever there are several cars letting me go I never know who direct the wave at, and so I do this Red-Indian styled wave like HOW. * hand circulates air*

[The Notorious LOL]

sometimes the wave is unjustified. People wave at me and shit when I just happen to not be following the other car so close that they dont have room to squeeze in. If I knew they were trying to get in I would speed up as I naturally do.

[voltanapricot]

Maybe they thought you were somebody they knew then realised and had to carry on waving to make it appear as though they're still trying to get that-person-they-thought-you-were's attention as not to look stupid in front of their home eez on the road.

[The Notorious LOL]

no

[steve-onpoint]

nail on the head, i think.

One time this redneck cut me off and I guess he must have thought I had been speeding up to not let him in, so he flipped me the bird. Mind you, he was driving a truck and it had that little middle window in the back windshield slid open so I could fully see his "fuck you". And the back windshield had an elaborate design of the American flag, with an eagle. He had no rearview mirror.

That to me, is America.

[The Notorious LOL]

I hate when people do something wrong while driving, then have the nerve to flip me off.
