Riding home today I slowed waaay down coming to a pedestrian crossing, until I could see that the 2 teenage dudes in the beat-up old car approaching were going to let me over without me having to stop altogether (which I'm legally supposed to). I dipped my head at them to acknowledge the nicety, and then yelled "thanks!" as I crossed, since I noticed their windows were open.

Sure enough, the next minute I got two short toots, and I had to think of this thread

(Of course it MAY have been because I was wearing my shortest shorts and a tank top, plus hotshot sunglasses disguising the fact that I'm old enough to be their mom... One can always hope.)
