I was driving near a school today. A crowd of teenagers was walking by the side of the road. One of them was trying to make eye contact with me and started making a weird gesture with her hands.

It took me a second, but I realized she wanted me to honk the horn. There weren't any other cars around, so I gave her a quick beep beep.

The kids started squealing and laughing. It was awesome. I've been smiling about it ever since.

This feels like it might be more appropriate for !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world , but it's a change from the usual depressing news links.

I have a similar story from 5+ years ago. I was following an 18-wheeler through a small town in northern Ontario when a few kids and their parents did the airhorn gesture. The truck driver didn't do anything which was always a disappointment when I was a kid so I honked my pitiful car horn and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I feel like everyone has been having a hard time lately so it's nice to hear stories like this.
