been able to figure out what the two fingers signal by a passing car means. they hold their index finger and thumb about an inch apart, signaling 'small'. but i dont know if it means 'not going far' or 'not enough room'. any help?
Never knew what that meant before but I know lots of folks feel guilty for not stopping, there were always quite a few folks over the years that would stop and say they were only going a short ways and then offer me money to relieve their guilt or try to buy me a Greyhound ticket. Also lots of folks who you can see the expression on their face and sometimes see them kind of mouthing the word "sorry", I never had trouble knowing what that meant.
I especially hate it when you get a peace sign or a wave or thumbs up. It's like, mother fucker, I'm not out here spreading cheer & good will. I want a fucking ride.
I get this sign numerous time a day!(I'm in Canada, so maybe it's more common here?) I would say between 10-20 cars. either that or they point to tell me they're turning soon. I actually appreciate this. It usually comes with a smile or a wave or the mouthing of "sorry" so I atleast know they're acknowledging me and not just driving past like I don't exist.
