Let's see now: Our house is nicer, new windows/paint, and our yard is bigger. AND both our vehicles are nicer than his regular truck.
So I guess I'll quit waving at him? 
People...sheesh. |
I always try to believe people are basicly good.
So maybe you are simply the victim of a standard logical fallacy. Just because it happened / happens at the same time, does not mean it must be correlated.
Or there is a correlation ( the shift stick was mentioned above by Spock Jenkins) but not the one you think it is.
If you start ignoring him this only gives you a bad feeling and makes things worse.
Wave at him when he passes by the next time in his Corvette. If he doesn't wave back ask him next time you meet why. Usually I do that in a way so the other guy "does not loose his face", like "Oh I was waving at you when you passed by last time in the Corvette, but I think you haven'T seen me".
Playing it "Tit for Tat" doesn't lead you anywhere. You just will end up as a lonely, grumpy old woman/man.
