The finger

[blas]

Big surprise ya'll, but not that one.

Yes, I was bad, and went to McDonalds. Hey, I went all last weekend without it, give me props. I'm trying.

Anyway, the car ahead of me was at the second window, where you get your food.

I saw a hand extend out the window and a pointer finger point and shake up and down. Point and shake. Then a middle finger wiggle alongside the pointer finger.

The girl poking out the window had a look on her face.

Not even sure what it was about, but something about people pointing and shaking their hand at others has always just bugged me.

i agree; it's like correcting a dog's behavior. very insulting and demeaning.

Kinda reminds me when I worked for 'the Mouse;' we were taught when gesturing to something / pointing in a direction to motion with our whole hand or the first 2-fingers, so as not to accidentally insult someone from another culture. The habit's still with me today.

At some point as a child, I was taught "It's rude to point!" I tend to gesture with my entire hand instead, and I don't really know where I picked up that habit or when.
