As every male learned in high-school and Uni/College, an upward nod for people you know; downward nod for people you don't.

This is totally news to me.

Ok, TAC.

You are literally the first person I've ever heard reference this, Chad! Don't swing the TAC hammer around so carelessly!

Lethean, your ideas are exclusionary towards people who can't speak. And don't say 'good to see you' to a blind person. (I'M JOKING! )

Not really sure why you think that's funny.

It was just a joke... easy. No maliciousness in there.

Still not really sure why you think that's funny.

I have never heard of that up/down nod either, but am intrigued. The less I have to communicate and interact with others the happier I am. But I suppose there is still enough humanity left in me to least acknowledge the mere existence of other individuals should I encounter them.

That about sums it up.

Yeah, I'm with Mike and Chris.  Never heard of this.

Probably because...it's funny?

Let's not derail the discussion just because we disagree over humor, ok?  Not that big a deal.

[jingle.boy]

But if you think about how you silently greet people, is the ‘man-nod’ not the way you do it?  See a familiar face from across the room, what do you do?  Pass a stranger in the hallway at work, what do you do?

[Indiscipline]

Smile and wink is my go-to, but I'm no stranger to the nod.

I got to say I never heard of the different ways to nod and their reasonings.

Clearly, none of you are men

[King Postwhore]

I always hated the upwards nod because punks do that to look tough. 

Old man rant over.

[lonestar]

I gotta side with the other 'non men' here, you be smoking too much of that shitty canadian weed bro.

[King Postwhore]

American - Brah.
Canadian  - Breh.

[PetFish]

Not really sure why you think that's funny.

Because it *is* funny.

Not sure why you're coming across as being upset about it.  There was nothing malicious about it at all and saying "good to see you" is a ubiquitous greeting these days and, at worst, something that people say to be polite without even giving it a second thought.  I'd be more upset if I were blind and someone didn't greet me at all.

It's like saying "Merry Christmas" and getting upset by that instead of being happy and feeling good that someone is being nice in the first place.

Take it easy.

WUT?



So I have never heard of an official Nod Protocol, but I think what Chad says might be it just actually how it works.

I don't really see anything funny about it.

I can't say for sure, but I probably would too.  I'm not sure if you think I think saying "good to see you" is some kind of insult to anyone, but I certainly don't.

A little sense of humor goes a long way. Jeeze... "Lighten up, Francis."

How many guys are you trying to get to quit the forum?

[KevShmev]

How many guys are you trying to get to quit the forum?

One per week in July seems to be the goal.

[The Walrus]

I mean ideally the count is still at 0 but preferably no greater than single digits

[King Postwhore]

Come at me brah.

See, I'm from America brah!

[TAC]

See, I'm an America brah!

[King Postwhore]

Tim, see the Canadian/American joke on saying bros.

[TAC]

Not really, no.

*nods down*

[King Postwhore]

 

[jingle.boy]

Not really, no.

*nods down*

You're doing it wrong already.

*nods up and then down*

Second day of high fever and dry cough (not too alarming so far) for a member of my household. House not big enough for him to fully self-isolate so uh keep your fingers crossed for me. If it's not the rony, I'm still going to kill him as soon as he's well because he was not careful enough and caught a bug, which means he could have easily caught the virus too. Yesterday a friend of a friend went to a covid center to get tested because she has a fever and has had contact with someone who tested positive, they turned her away because there aren't enough tests and told her to come back if her condition gets worse. Why aren't there enough tests? Because the state govt got pissed at the public health institute in my city for publishing the real numbers of positive tests and now they're only sending 100 tests per day, for a city of 200 000 people. Just another day of being stuck in Serbia.

Well this was a gut-punch for a Sunday morning.  Hope your household-mates issue is not COVID.  Fingers and toes are crossed.

Wow, I do this but never realized I do it differently for people I know or don't

That’s kind of where I’m parked.

Yup me too.  Never knew of a protocol, but when I played the scenarios in my head, they worked perfectly.  I will now spread the gospel of the head nod protocol far and wide.
