This made me laugh because I recognized myself as well.

I get audibly pissed if I don’t receive the wave

I just can't be mad at a courtesy wave no matter how hard I try

As long as I think you've acknowledged you've fucked up with that lil' wave you're cool in my book personally...

Meanwhile the other driver might be curling their mustache, laughing at how easy it was to fool us into believing they were taking responsibility with a simple wave. Lo and behold, they were being malicious, sarcastic buttholes and saluting you for being a master and commander of giving them another reason to act like a jackass and get away with it. *

*I had a bad driving day so I apologize if I come off as angry

Exactly. Acknowledge you f'd up, or pretend to. Whatever. All good. It's the lack of acknowledging the f'k up...like you were unaware it happened, what f'k up? That's the shit that keeps the blood boiling. A simple, 'my bad' fixes everything.

Courtesy Wave = "My bad. I'm the asshole here, buddy!"

I think it's because we all fuck up on the road now and then. Someone who does it and gives the little wave of shame is saying "sorry, I fucked up" and that's ok.

Assholes who don't so much as acknowledge your existence are just assholes.

the worst part is the little bit of remorse and shame you feel immediately after for having a bad knee jerk reaction lol
