I don't really wave to anyone. On a bike, or not. Hell, I don't even wave at other drivers for my company when I pass them. Who cares?
If you drive a Dodge 4x4, do you wave at other Dodge 4x4 owners? If you drive a Prius, do you wave at other Prius owners? I wouldn't, cuz that's pretty ghey.
If another rider waves, I will wave back. But I never initiate. Just cuz some other person is riding something remotely similar to what I riding, doesn't make us friends.
Besides, if someone found out I was being nice and courteous, my reputation would be ruined!
I don't talk to cashiers at convenience stores. I don't talk to people in line at the DMV or doctor's office. I don't even talk to people I work with, if I can avoid it. Too much energy wasted on people who have no significance in my life.
It's not that I'm a d!ck...I'm not. I just want to get my stuff done without interference. Cashiers who want to chat me up like I'm some regular customer who's been coming their for morning coffee for 25 years bug me the most. I've actually had these retards ask me to turn around so they can read what's on the back of my shirt. My response is: "I'm not a model, now ring up my sh!t so I can be on my way." Or the dumbazzes at Subway who stop making my sandwich to talk about their life. "STFU, and make my sammich, bish!"
My favorite is when people, like my supervisors, ask me why I am always in a bad mood. I ask them why they think I'm always in a bad mood. They tell me it's because I never smile, and because I wear my sunglasses indoors. I tell them, "I don't recall seeing in the company handbook that I have to walk in here like I'm walking on sunshine, pulling daisies out of my azz. The only time I am in a bad mood, is when people ask me why I am in a bad mood."
Just because I don't smile, doesn't mean I am unhappy. Just because I don't interact with you, doesn't mean I am a d!ck. Just because I don't wave at you, doesn't mean I'm an azzhole. I just don't
care, and that's not a crime.
