My Real-Life Seinfeld Moment: I Expect A "Thank-You-Wave" Dammit!!

[arwalden]

Is it too much for me to expect someone to acknowledge the fact that I did them a FAVOR by letting them have the right of way?

I always wave a "thank you" whenever another driver is courteous to me and lets me pull into busy stop-and-go traffic from a side street, or slows down a bit so that I can merge.

I also wave a "sorry, my fault" and "sorry, I didn't see you" whenever I cut-off another driver or whenever I change lanes on short notice.

And whatever happened to turn signals? Are MINE the only ones in the universe that still work?

Would it make me feel better if I simply STOPPED giving "thank you waves" and "sorry waves"... and if I STOPPED using my turn signal? Maybe then I wouldn't feel entitled to receive the same. Maybe.

(Thanks. I feel better now.)
