to wander a bit further from the topic... I'll wave to motorcyclists while riding bikes; especially if it is out on the rural roads where nobody else is near. Some wave back and some don't, but what intrigues me is that they are much more likely to wave back when I'm riding a recumbent. I'm not sure if 'bents are just weird and harmless, or if the body position is more similar to a motorcycle and therefore closer to being in their tribe.
.. of course, 'bents just get all sorts of weird reactions, so maybe I'm reading too much into it?

and on the topic of snobbery and "us vs. them", today's Pearls Before Swine comic was quite relatable ...
