Who Decides on Traffic Etiquette Anyways

If you were to ask me three words to describe myself, I would more often than not land on: gentle, fragile, and sensitive. However, in the context of driving those three adjectives no longer apply. This tranquil spirit turns more into some sort of rabid raccoon, at least emotionally....with only one antidote....the courtesy wave. Ever been on the road? Ever been cut off? Both dangerous driving maneuvers that normally instill fear in the hearts most inexperienced drivers, but the funny part of it, if given the courtesy wave its as if I was just given a small tickle by my best friend. I don't know why I feel that, but I do every time. As far as I'm concerned, you could rear end me going 60mph, but throw up that courtesy wave, I won't even hesitate. I'll immediately understand no harm was meant, and its all good in the hood. The power of the courtesy wave is highly underestimated by most drivers on the road. If implemented correctly, I suggest that all road rage could potentially be eliminated. No need for it. Because the few times I have experienced the worst of my driving incidents have occurred when I was waiting a stop sign and some jerko California rolled on me with no wave. Or when letting a mother cross the street holding a small child forcing me to stop on a yellow light like I normally don't, with no wave of appreciation from her or her child. This is a weird world we live in my friends a weird world. The wave is almost a secret sign saying "Hey, I'm on your team. We're on this road called life together. I get your back. I'll never leave you." That's all I want. Just someone whose got my back. The ultimate form of unconditional love. The courtesy wave. Stay thirsty my friends. Don't be afraid to throw it up.
