Slumpy

he downward nod*

in my mind: gently caress. i dont interact with people enough to muscle memory the downard nod toward people whom i dont know well. and they loving know it now. this is like the scene in inglorious basterds where the dude starts counting on his first finger where all nazis (those form germany) know you start counting with your thumb

he knows i dont loving leave my house that much now because of my mistaken upward head movement

Areola Grande: it's a free country u pervs

the upward nod is a known power play OP. it says "I've got street cred" or like "I almost stabbed u w/ my chin just now. alpha coming through"

If anything they probably fear u

Weka: That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.

Where do you live op? an upward nod is like a downward nod in Australia on account of it's upside down.

kinda real. I grew up like 10-18 around gang members and I only just recently realized the upwards nod is apparently more confrontational

Upward nod is like saying "sup", downward nod is like acknowledging someone without wanting to commit to "sup".

Heather Papps: hello friend

when i do a downward nod it's out of respect, an upward nod would be like if i saw a guy backflip off a roof into a pool or something - more of admiration

Twenty Four

A guy moves in with a smile to genuinely shake my hand in greeting, I panic and somehow accidentally flip him the bird right in his face.
