Waving - - I wave to most anybody I think is looking. Even if I think I might be getting negative attention; I still wave. What's the harm, and it is very disarming to most.
I was born/raised in Iowa (live far away now, for years) and that's very common. And nice.

True story. When we first moved out here from the city there was a guy who drove by and actually hollered out the window of his pick-up truck. Nothing profane, but definitely a we-don't-need-no-city-folk type insult.
Really? Good grief.

It happened twice, and both times I smiled and waved from the seat of my lawn tractor, pretending the shout I heard was a "hello neighbor."

That was at least 10 years ago, and it hasn't happened since.
Glad to know it.

The point of my original post was: Anyone silly enough can "find a reason" to "feel superior."

Who needs it?
