So Halloween has come and gone, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the spooky festival of Thanksgiving!!
When you cut some one off in a car you often give the apologetic 'half wave' that indicates that you did not intend to cut that person off/did not see them. This is fair and while it probably provokes more rage than it helps, I think that at least acknowledging that you realized you fucked up is good.
On the other hand I hate when I'm a pedestrian crossing a street or in front of a parking lot entrance and a car quickly zooms by me within what I would call striking distance and as that driver is doing this they do the quick wave/holding their hand up to indicate that they're sorry. The reason this is annoys me though is because it likely means they don't give a fuck and are basically just being dangerous. My reasoning is this. If you see a pedestrian crossing an intersection you don't go because you might hit them. If you didn't see them at all the time to do the wave is after you've passed them. If you're passing me dangerously close and waving it means you saw me, decided to just go anyways, and then just kind of waved in passing like its supposed to make it okay.
Actually now that I write that down it sounds a lot dumber but I like to complain.
