Wave in Traffic

[DancingHeretik]

Driving back from New Braunfels to San Antonio on I35 around 10:30 this morning, a guy in a big black vehicle waved. At first, I thought he was letting me know I was clear to change lanes because he wasn't going to take the spot.

Then, he got next to me again and waved again. I was wondering if he was trying to tell me something was wrong with my car. The confusion must have shown on my face. He gave me a thumbs up.

Oh! Must be my vape. I can't think of anything else it could be. I was using a P2.5 and carto-tank (so not anything dainty that could be mistaken for just a cig).

If you see this, whoever you are, send me a PM and say Hi! I'm the lady in the big red/maroon van.

Nice to run across people showing approval.

Once, me and another car were both halfway out in the intersection waiting to turn left at a red light. The dude in the other car kept staring at me, leaning forward blowing clouds at his windshield and making gestures that kind of said..look at me! roar! what you doing to do about it?! I laughed at him, held up my mod, nodded, and made my turn.

Basically had the same thing happen on the 35 frontage road. At a light, was asked questions and was a very positive experience!!

I saw your name and for a second thought you were going to say it was you.

It was a very positive experience. We were moving at a bout 70 mph. So, we couldn't talk. But, he seemed so happy about it that it just made my day!

How cool! I've seen vapers while driving too. They just don't see me.

Not I this time. . Did have a blue truck do the same thing that happened to you early last year, honk and wave and thumbs up me on 410 though.

I've had that happen to me about 6 times in the past few years It took me a minute the first time to figure out why the guy was waving and smiling at me. All of them have always been young guys so i'm not sure if its simply because I'm vaping or because I'm an old grandma vaping

A young woman asked me if I was smoking while I was sitting in my car, parked in a lot yesterday. I said "No, it's an e-cig.", and held it up. She just said "Oh.", and drove off. Guess she wanted to bum a coffin nail. Lo siento chica, I'm no longer a slave of BT. If she'd stuck around, I'dve been glad to point her toward a B&M to get started vaping, but the pressing need for that next cancer stick must've been too strong to ignore. I remember that compulsion from my years as a smoker, and am very glad that it's merely a fading memory now.

I actually make it a point to say hi or wave my mod, or thumbs up or whatever whenever I see another vaper. Think it comes from riding a motorcycle, we all wave at each other too. Kind of a nonconformist solidarity support means.

While stopping at a Walmart, I had a guy ask if I had more "papers".. I had just took 2 drags off my system.. smoke screened the inside of my car.. Honest mistake on his part.. LOL

Hey! Us tootle puffers can still blow a decent sized cloud when we want to. I do Know How!

And yes, yes I did blow a decent cloud. Still didn't see me. *sigh*

It helps to have bumper stickers, "I Vape, I Vote" and "Vaping Saves Lives, No Butts About It" on both our vehicles. The ONLY stickers we've ever had on our cars. Hubby who's never been a smoker, but does "tootle" for flavor is mostly the one who's out and about. So, he gets the thumbs up on the road and has discussions when in for oil changes or repairs.

Once stopped at a Memphis 7-Eleven and was approached by a friendly vaper. While discussing mods, police car pulled up. Cop fella got out and approached grinning and holding his mod out. He was the cousin of the guy who first approached hubby. Whew! Hubby is way too old (74) to visit the "clinker".......especially one far away from home. Ha!
