I always make sure that I wave to thank the person who's driving when they let me cross the road. I sometimes let them go first, but when it's my turn to cross the road, I go as fast as I can, so I don't make them wait. I usually expect the same thing from pedestrians when I'm driving, but I rarely get a wave, and they usually cross the road very slowly. I start to expect this disrespect from pedestrians, and when one is polite, I'm always pleasantly surprised, even though I think this should be the norm. Yes, pedestrians have the right of way, but it's still nice to get a thank you. I'm just curious what these people expect when they're driving. It's sad that I'm so pleased when someone is polite. I hope when I wave, it makes someone happy, and they'll pass on the kindness.
