Lost Tradition?

[tiasman]

Old tradition that is no more:

Saturday night “visiting” between families. I used to love going to other peoples houses to “visit” on Saturday evenings.

Get to see other kids rooms, play in other peoples back yards, meet new kids, eat differently cooked food.

No more it seems.

Kind of like people used to blink their headlight at you if there was radar up ahead.

Quit doing that when I found the oncoming cars were unmarked patrol cars

I did that once when I was in high school.

We still see them honk for kids. I think you just got a couple of butthole drivers.

But, then we haven't seen pics of his kids, have we?????

Had that happen 2 days ago in CO. Sure enuff, radar trap just over the hill. I don't speed anymore (usually) but thanks.

Why? It isn't illegal.

Very few kids signal for a trucker to honk.
I always enjoyed seeing kids and giving them a honk, but it happens every little.

I flash my lights to signal a speed trap, also.
I flash my lights at the cops, too. It does pizz them off. I had one turn around and stop me. Told him, I flashed because he was just over a hill and stopped partially on the highway, creating a safety hazard. Did he wanted to view my dash cam?

He didn't. He left, mad. Had 2 more within 10 miles. Pulled radar on me and followed me for a couple miles. Uneventful, but there are azzholes out there.

Another tradition I see going away is waving or at least acknowledging oncoming drivers. I still wave but rarely get a response back.
