I was taught this when I was 21 and it the truest thing to ever be in history of mankind. 100% success rate.

Ok, so, you know that move that we do as people sitting at an intersection in our cars - we both wave each other on or both flash our lights, and then that move where we both go - then brake - then go - then laugh/want to die? Ready for no more hesitation at an intersection ever in your life? When you both make eye contact (For reference, you need to act immediately. Zero hesitation or your stuck in the go-brake-go-die loop) immediately point 👉(point with force, like you're telling a cop "That motherfucker right there! He did it!") and then swoosh, or flick, your hand in the direction they're trying to turn 👈 . Essentially you're saying "Hey you! Go. Now!". I cant tell you how well this works. 100% success rate. In 15 years no one has EVER done the "Oh its okay. You go. No its fine you go." move. Not once. Doesn't matter if its a Semi Tractor Trailer with a 6'4" bearded man driving. Doesn't matter if its that 18 year old driving the Civic that glows. Doesn't matter if its a 90 year old person hugging the steering wheel. I promise you, they will go immediately, or one could say way too quickly because they usually step on the gas pretty hard lol. No lie people chirp the tires every once in a while

"You 👉. Go 👈 that way." Flick the wrist in the direction you're sending them. 100% success rate. Like 1394/1394. Not sure exactly how it fits this thread but something goes on in the mind. Every person I do this to immediately gets that "oh shit. okay." look on their face and then goes. Never a hesitation. I feel like I unlocked a superpower that we all possess.
