It’s a little thing and maybe it means nothing but I think it’s interesting. When I was young and someone in a car let a pedestrian pass, the pedestrian would give a thank you wave and hustle across the street or into the store.
Today is different, drivers still let people pass giving them a sign to let them know to walk ahead safely, but the pedestrians don’t wave or hustle to their destination. They lumber . . . a slow lumber as if getting across the street or into the store must only be accomplished before daybreak.
I’d like to point out that there are still people that wave and hustle across the street or parking lot but their in the minority. It’s important to note that some people are old and unable to hustle or maybe they are actually hustling but we aren’t able to recognize it. Taking all that into consideration there are still a lot of capable people that lumber when given the safety wave.
I’m not an expert but it seems like there’s a message here that deserves some attention. What have you noticed? I’d like to know. “Just wondering . . . “
