Do you wave to or otherwise acknowledge someone who allows you into traffic?

What kind of savages don’t show this appreciation?

Nobody allows me into traffic. I allow them behind me

A nod and a two finger blessing-esque hand gesture. Kind of like this:



Not sure why I picked that up, but it is what it is

It’s what separates us from the animals.

I always wave thanks. Most people are jerks but expect to be let in themselves even though they won’t let people in. Drives me crazy! I won’t do that....

Its automatic for me, but I don't lose my mind if someone doesn't wave to me if I let them in (which I rarely do because I drive with a "every man for himself" attitude).

A courtesy wave is what separates us from the rude Yankee shits up north.

I wave if someone lets me in or waves we ahead of them at an intersection.

If they drive like an arse I flip them off.

When I lived in Louisiana, I was the recipient and also allowed people ahead of me also. Probably 80% of the time, I got an appreciation wave. I always waved "thank you".

When I moved to Houston that percentage dropped substantially.
I got tired of letting people in ahead of me and then acting like it was their right.

So now, frick em. I go out of my way to block them.

I overly say thanks. Usually when they let me in I give them a wave and then when I’m in the lane, I give them another wave to make sure they saw me. If someone gets in front of me and doesn’t wave, they are getting a wave like gesture from me so they know I see them not showing thanks.

It's more than appreciation. I acknowledge them so that they know that I know. That way they don't change their mind and run into me.
