I give people a thumbs up all the time! Are you saying I should stop? Damn. I feel a little embarrassed when I do it with my ESL students, though. Body language is very important when people don't speak the language, but if they don't use thumbs-up in the same way we do, I could be responsible for some serious international incident :-)
thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteI always seem to respond to the movie ticket seller's "Enjoy the movie" with "Thanks, you too!"
I'm such a dork sometimes.
At least you didn't attempt to "fist bump" them. "Thumbs Up" is serious enough to start worrying a little bit though.
ReplyDeleteLet's work on that, shall we??

ReplyDeleteHaha, Anonymous, I say "same to you!" all the time, sometimes in totally inappropriate situations. And then I cringe.
ReplyDeleteRob, you know what's the dorkiest thing in the world? When dudes chest bump each other! That's just ... wrong.
And Kate, yeah, let's not go starting any trouble, okay? :)
