I use it regularly.

seriously, I feel like im a kook when I wave!

i still do it but people are generally rude. i (a female) held the door open for a man last week, he didn't even give me a nod of thanks.
-
Not sure but I'm totally convinced that men wave far more often that women. I'm a man btw so please don't mod me down for what is an honest observation!

It got left behind along with the "smile for no reason", the "no, YOU take the parking space closer to the store", "can I help you with that", "please" and "thank you"...

I wave hopefully to keep people calm and not shoot me.
-
I still use it and always will but I think it has been overtaken by the one finger wave for "what took you so long to let me in?!"
-
I was surprised to see your profile said you live in Texas, I thought they still had common courtesy there. You still see that wave in California.

I wave whenever anyone lets me in or over or whatever, but i hear ya it doesn't happan often. Road rage is the in thing now I guess??

I do wave and also say I'm sorry if I make a mistake

I am from NC and for the most part we all let each other out in traffic, like you let one and then that person lets the next guy out. I always wave and mouth "thank you". I get it from most people (the "thanks" gesture). But I think most manners these days have flown out of the window. That is why I still model good manners and try to instill them in my four year old. I have had complete strangers come up to me and tell me how well behaved and well mannered my kid is and that is 98% of the time that he doesn't have to be reminded. I wasn't really made to be polite when I was young but thankfully I picked it up somehow. No matter how rude or impolite people are, it won't change how I do things.
