The ‘Go-Ahead’ Wave

When you’re driving and you make the kind decision to let somebody in front of you or you let them go first at a four-way stop, how do you signal to them: do you use the full-hand wave-on or do you do the slighty-snobby “I’m being so nice to you so you better appreciate it” two-finger “c’mon, go, hurry up” motion?

I intend to use the full-hand one, but I usually use the uppity two-finger motion instead. Fortunately, I’m the only one that obsesses over the stupid details of something like this, so whatever I choose, I still end up getting the friendly courtesy wave (or nod).

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
