...security guards? They always salute me and I sometimes can't stop a natural tendency to salute back and I've never been in the military and I feel so silly. What do you do when that happens? Just wondering.

you do not salute them back
just smile and say thank you, or have a good day
That sounds fine and well, but while you are in a car? I can wave, but that seems pretty silly too.Originally Posted by jk the sooner fan
I know, next time I'll try the Nixon salute.
if you are in a car, they arent saluting you specifically - just smile and drive on
And, not use my hands to wave or anything? I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma. We wave at everyone, whether we know them or not, just in case.
waving is fine!
This thread is hilarious...
and a little educational.
SoonerinabileneOh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.
I pass through a security checkpoint every morning. I have never had the security guards salute me. I do say; "Good morning" most of the time.

Are they checking you for IED's?
BTW - Security guards saluting? Isn't that a little like the aTm pretend soldiers doing anything military?
What does birth conrtrol have to do with anything?
No, they're just checking badges, and vehicle decals.

George,
The guys at the Harindhorn would salute and click their heels when I entered the lobby. I would nod back at them...
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.
Saluting by anyone not in the military is ghey.

Man, I must be going to the wrong mall.
Well, you would have to travel to Thailand.
But many Asian security people would salute me as I entered the building. I think it is an Asian thing.

And, it's a Thai thing to wai and security guards salute instead of wai. It's just that I can't help myself to wai back at waitresses at restaurants and salute back at security guards. It's an involuntary reaction that I can't seem to control.
When saluted by security guards in uniform, Miss Manners says that proper etiquette would be to nod at them, if you are in uniform as well. If you are not in uniform, you are just suppose to wink and wiggle your fingers back in a hello fashion.
