Funny thing.. I see hand signals almost every time I drive... ;))))

THAT might not be a good thing.

Before electric turn signals on cars, hand signals were part of the driving
test and police would ticket people who didn't use them; even in freezing
cold weather when rolling down the window was unpopular.
I've read that "Birds" or "giving someone the finger", originated as a
variation on hand signals during that time. Someone got the bright idea of
rolling the window part way down in cold weather, sticking out the hand, and
pointing left, or up (right), with one finger. The finger pointing may have
morphed into "giving someone the finger".
Here's more than you probably want to know about the ancient "finger wave":
