    iv been driving for just over 2 years now and AND.. and iv noticed if i do too little beeps at someone ON the footpath they will turn around and wave back

    now im doin this on purpose and i do it to see what sort of reaction i get
    and half the time people automatically wave back and then u get some funny stares and then u get nothing

    *stares at the nothingers*

    take this for example i was drivin down kilcoole road and i beeped 2 little beeps at this woman pushing a pram and she turned around real quick and waved and went back to her business i thought this was hilarious cuz A she didnt know me and B she didntk now me

    so
    why do people do this?

    Are you asking why people turn around, or why weirdos get their jollies from beeping at strangers?

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of car are you driving?? I've seen people in Seicentos doing this but I feel the waving is more out of sympathy than kindness.

    Why do you beep at people you don't know? What's the point? It's really not that funny

    It so is!! I always do it. Generally when I have company in the drivers seat. They try to do it on me when Im in the passenger seat, but I always stick my head out screaming help help. That gets some looks! :D

    Behavioural conditioning, innit?

    I've been the victim of many a phantom beep, though I rarely, if ever, wave at the beeper.
