One finger? Two fingers? Whole hand?!

[Mysterian]

I go with the whole hand. I'd like to be a 2 finger person but I worry about not getting it right and looking weird. You have to keep your fingers together if you're using 2.

Just thought about it this morning as I was at it non stop down the 15 mile one lane road to Loch Etive.

So how do you thank other drivers? Anybody do the grin and 2 thumbs up "fandabidozy" style?

whole hand and smile

I can't believe what I first thought you were talking about

Probably same as me 🤣

Same here!!

"I can't believe what I first thought you were talking about "

Yup me three 😂

My finger was about to hit "report" until I read the whole post. 😁
In answer to your question, thumb curved under steering wheel, 4 fingers raised.

One finger is sufficient for me

I do it how I like my kitkats...four fingers

I also use the 4 finger technique!

I also have a gutter mind 😳

It's one of those 'cool' things that are hard to think about. The more you think the more awkward it feels.

And some of you have smutty minds. Tut tut.

Whole hand and a smile

I acknowledge a thank you with a finger or maybe 2

4 fingers and thumb under wheel and smile.
To acknowledge a thank you one finger and smile

I mostly recieved 4 fingers this morning. 70% maybe. 20% 2 fingers, 10% 1 finger. NEVER 3 FINGERS.

I'm obviously far too naive to wonder what the confusion was with your post.
One finger.

Whole hand and a big smile

My sister has proved that if you give someone the thumbs up they will respond with a thumbs up even if they started out with a wave or multiples of fingers. It's brilliant.

Yep, 4 fingers, thumb under the wheel.

DP, if turning right and is let out, sticks his whole arm as far across me as he can to put his hand up to the side window.

The temptation to yank his arm off and hit him with the soggy end is strong.

4 fingers raised from wheel and a nod of the head. If the driver is fit, he gets a smile.
(Smutty mind here too - great title.)

Entire fist

Depends what kind of mood I'm in, if I'm in a bad mood, just a finger, if a good mood, my whole hand off the wheel with a smile

Sorry, wrong thread

I nearly didn’t open this haha. I put my hand up and mouth thanks if I can

@thedancingbear

Sorry, wrong thread

Whole hand here, though I did the thumbs up this morning and then felt a bit of a twat.

@Tashface

Me too. Patronizing all-hand wave from me, though, together with nodding and mouthing "thank you" like a loon.

As long as you do it simultaneously to actually shifting out the way, I don't mind if you use your whole body! "Enough waving, just drive" is one of our frequent car phrases

I think my fingerness is proportionate to how nice you've been. If I'm just being nice because you should gave stopped anyway, then one index finger. Up to stopping to let me reverse out in the road at a whole hand plus a tinkly wave once I'm out and moving!
