curtisy

maybe he thought it was an insult to his abilities. who knows. could he have wanted you to wait till he couldn't complete the turn and laid on his horn first?
you really can't know what people are thinking. some take offense to kindness as to think you are being condescending (for lack of a better word)

 

Yea that's bazaar, maybe he thought you were his girlfriend or sleeping with his girl. Did you flip him back?

 

I'm guessing he wasn't a profesional driver.

 

not giving the "you're number one" sign he wasn't

 

well maybe he did indeed give you "the bird".

maybe he thought you crossed the stop line, and wasn't paying attention.

maybe he thought you took too long to decide to put it into reverse.

maybe he actually didn't give you "the bird", maybe he raised his fingers in a "peace sign" that was so common a thing to do back in the 1960's.

we won't really know.

but i'll tell you what, whenever someone backs up for me at an intersection, i usually "toot" the air horn, or i wave "thank you" at them.

so take it in stride what you saw, or didn't see.

and when you start driving, then you too can show "thanks" anyway you choose to do so.

 

:smt017 Maybe the driver thought you were insulting his skills by backing up. However, any trucker with that type of attitude probably can't
be figured out anyway! So don't worry 'bout it.

 

If that driver gave you the finger he is not a professional driver but more like a professional loser.
