My hand gesture for "Hey did you hear about the inverse Pascal Scam? It suggests that low-probability high-impact risks are easy to ignore, and I think that's what you're doing right now and that's not going to be good for your health, or mine for that matter, so maybe think about that a bit more in the future" is to raise my middle finger. Unfortunately it inevitably makes the situation worse somehow.

I’ve switched to a thumbs down in traffic and can’t recommend it enough. Let’s then know how they should feel without escalating like a middle finger.

I have switched to smiling at things people do well in traffic and trying to give positive reinforcement when I see people who care about others. Some even do it in ways that might seem stupid, e.g a guy in the wrong side of the street was actually just being very considerate.

Nice! I tried thumbs up (ie sarcasm) but that's snarky too, and somehow never realized that you could actually do the same thing non-sarcastically. Srsly wow :-) Gonna try, thanks
