We’ve all been there before, driving down the road and you’re trying to merge into the next lane. You’re slowing down and speeding up with your blinker on trying to get over. Car after car just keeps going passed you bumper to bumper, not caring that your blinker is on and you’re trying to get over. Suddenly, a car with some common courtesy slows down and gives you a quick motion with their hand for you to go ahead and come over. As you merge over you take a look back in the mirror and give a common courtesy wave to the nice citizen that let you in. You may not have know it but joy fills the car behind you because of the simple ‘courtesy wave,” that you gave in the mirror.
This is a common courtesy that has left our society of late. Such a simple gesture that gives both of you the feeling that you did some good for the day. So many times we find ourselves actually letting someone over into our lane and we don’t receive the courtesy wave. This absolutely drives me FUCKING INSANE. We could’ve been like all the other cars and bent you over like a cheap Vegas hooker, but we didn’t. We go out of our way to do you a courtesy and I feel like we should do the same and extend them the same courtesy that they just gave! It’s a simple gesture that goes a long way. It only takes a few muscles and the outcome is so rewarding, for both sides. So, I extend this challenge to you, the next time someone lets you over or let you pull in front of them, go ahead and extend the simple gesture, of a COURTESY WAVE.
