Passerby Wavers?
Howdy,
We've camped around USA, Canada and a little in Mexico for years and everytime a passing auto(car, truck, trailer or RV) people just gawk at every site they pass. We do the same, a quick glance, though. But folks also have a tendency to stick out an arm and move it to wave at you and they don't even know me! What's up with all that? That's another reason for dispersed camping. Where in the rule book does it say I have to wave back? Once my bride did wave at a passing motorist and low and behold these folks stopped there car, right then and there in the street and came over to talk, like we were old friends. That's why we never wave at anyone!
Do these people think that they are in a parade?....
Maybe they should throw plastic beads?.....
Once out of the campground no one waves at one another unless it is to show you how many friends they have! Or how many times they've been camping! They don't move it around either like waving it at you! Some are bent arm or bent wrist upwards. One digit protruding...what kind of wave is that? And then these happy motorists frown at you and move their pie holes like their trying to sing-along with the music in my vehicle! I have a concealed weapons permit and have never, ever used my piece in anger, never will, that's not my nature. It just boggles the sawdust between my ears, why people just want you to think they're being friendly. Friendly, walk over to another's site and bring something to share like food, or beverage, even a beer will do. Then I'll be more friendly at campgrounds. Most of the time when someone comes over to our site it is to try and borrow something, like I'm a camping library! When I first started camping with my pops a long time ago he loaned out a bunch of wood. No one ever repaid him for it. Then another time he loaned a Coleman Lantern but when it was returned the gas was gone and the mantles dis-mantled. I learned then not to loan anything! When a smokie or a ranger approach your vehicle or camp they never wave? So what's your opinion? Wave or not to wave that is the question, sorry I got off-track. Thanks for looking. Happy Holidays just the same!
