to expect drivers to wave thanks when I stop to let them pass in other direction?

[DebitheScot]

On the way to work this morning (a school at the end of a narrow road with lots of parked cars on it) I had to stop in a big space to let 4 cars come past in the other direction. Not 1 of them waved as they went past me.
Is it just me or is that really rude?

this is why i hate this topic.

did you immediately think-"oh a aibu thread!!"

It's rude, but it might have been me. Roads here can be awful. Sometimes I am clutching the steering wheel in such terror that I can't let go to wave.

did it really upset oyu?

It's really rude, but sadly common. Many people don't have the manners they were born with

i think they need to be garotted in public
how truamatising.

It didn't really upset me but I was nearly late for work and would just like to see some manners. It the fact that all 4 of them didn't wave. When its only one I think well they might not have been paying attetion or were busy doing something else or whatever and that doesn't bother me too much.

I know there are bigger things to worry about in life but just felt like having a moan this morning. Surely thats allowed?

It's also rude to yawn on other peoples threads.

Don't post if it doesn't interest you.

Debit - this is a gripe of my dh's too, he hates inpolite drives who don't acknowledge.

dh flicks the finger at people who don't wave when he has let them past

not sure which is the most bad mannered tbh

people are bad for not being curteous her too

No , it really narks me aswell. And when pedestrians don't say thank you.

that sounds a bit bad

what I mean is that round our way drivers are not very courteous either

It annoys me when people don't wave thanks - it's not that hard to do *although I know there have been times when I haven't ).

If someone does something for you you should thank them , full stop.

I think its common courtesy to at least smile if you cant wave. I just mutter to myself in a facetious voice "oh no problem - thanks a lot"

and N0 in the scheme of things its not important but I find people who have to talk about important things all the time quite dull.

So it's rude to yawn but not rude to verbally mock or abuse? What a surprise!

was it their right of way? I don't always thank people if it's my right of way.

I find it strange when people crossing the road thank me for stopping at a zebra crossing or if the lights are on red.

It's a nice gesture though

Lol @ porcupine

powder i thank people for stopping at a zebra crossing! so many dont!
