hand gestures are still a mystery to the most seasoned (aged)
had a guy motioning me one day. He was standing at the base of a coconut tree waiving at me
I hesitated, and he kept waiving, so I continued. Just then a coconut fell from the tree and landed on the hood of my Volvo (vulva).
his dumbass friend was in tree above shaking coconuts down even though he could clearly see a car approaching...
the gesture I was seeing this fellow do would have indicated to go forward.
also the Baht Bus drivers in Pattaya have some strange ways of making gestures and making the other driver missunderstand.
A friend plowed into the back of a Baht Bus because of it. BMW implant up the arse of a full length Baht Bus. pretty hilarious for passersby, but not for he or the Baht Bus guy.
