Default Waving, just dont get it.

No I'm not stuck up, Why wave to someone every 5 minutes,its dumb! Maybe 20 years ago when the bike population here was small? I even see people waving 6 lanes away coming towards me on the highway! I do like to wave to a fellow rider when its 36 degrees out!

The wave is getting ridiculous. Some guy waved at me today while I was in the process of completing a left turn. Did he honestly expect me to wave back?

There should be a way that new threads about waving cannot be posted.

If you want to, then wave. If you don't want to, then don't. Everyone has an opinion on why they do or why they don't, or who they wave to and who they don't, or what weather they wave in and what weather they don't, or on what kind of road they'll wave on and what road they won't.
