Are you a 'waver'?

[Yellow Shoes]

If you're from Small Town Texas you're a waver. Especially on two-lane country roads.

A full wave, or just a finger lifted off the steering wheel?

 

[PorterRedkey]

Only in the parks!

I'll wave at anyone.

 

[krb201]

I wave lots. Why not? Giving waves costs nothing.

Grew up in a small town - waving when you were driving in in the country was virtually mandatory. Now I live in Houston - I don't wave much. But I wave a "thanks" when folks let me into their lane, and I still expect an acknowledging wave when I let someone in front of me (and I wave back regardless - either in acknowledgment of their good manners for waiving at me or in a sarcastic "you're welcome" for the folks who aren't polite enough to acknowledge a nice gesture). And when I'm back home or otherwise driving in rural, sparsely populated areas, I wave and usually get waves in return.

I'm not a waver. However, I am also not rude, so I will always return a wave.

Hmm,, that's not totally true. Sometimes, depending on my mood, I will wave first at a child if they look like they would appreciate it.

I am also not a line chatter. I don't much care to talk to strangers while stuck in an attraction cue. Again, tho, an exception usually happens for kids. I am not gonna be the one that dampens a kids wonder.

That is too funny! I am originally from Houston, but now live in Austin. I am very familiar with that courtesy wave when people let you cut in and vice versa. I thought everyone did that! I have been in Austin about 25 years now so maybe people aren't as nice in Houston anymore??

I would say the finger tilt is perfectly acceptable as a wave. I guess it's more manly than a full hand wave.

Well I have to say this thread has really cheered me up today!

 

[Jedi Stitch]

Not only am I a waiver, but I most expertly do the princess wave. Wrist Wrist Elbow Elbow

 

[Lady_Gracey999]

I am 100% a waver lol. Just a part of who I am! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Being from south Louisiana I'm a waver at all times. At Disney and at home, driving or walking, standing in the yard at passing cars, just about everywhere. I am also a line and bus chatter when at Disney. I love to find out where people are from and how their vacation is going. I have met some wonderful and interesting people. Cheers!!!!!!!

 

[Bpmorley]

I wave from anything.

Four fingers up, thumb on the wheel or a full wave.

 

[Joebradley62]

I wave at Mark Twain and Ben Franklin at the end of the American Adventure.

Is that insane?

Yes.

 

[KimAnnFran]

No.

 

[NormC]

We are a family of wavers and if you are in line with my wife watch out. She is a chatter as well. She will chat with anyone.

 

[CoreNovawarAMM]

Yes, I am a waver at WDW.

 

[World_Showcase_Lover007]

Are there people that don’t wave??

I’m from the South so waving comes natural. Would want to be rude now.

 

[Patcheslee]

DD10 waves enough for both of us, she's a 2 handed waver when happy lol

 

[spock8113]

Oh, waver.
I thought you were talking about that special document signed by the President that says while on Slinky Dog Dash I can scream like a little girl. I probably don't need that waiver anyhoo.
