I took an uber to a friend's house, try to talk to the driver about whether its ok to bring lunch for friend, find out he's deaf. I know some ASL so I can sort of communicate but I havent had practice for 5 to 10 years so I am rusty. Anyway the signs for "thank you" and "fuck you" are about 2 inches of vertical distance apart. Guess which one I accidentally signed at the end of the ride.
So thats what has been haunting me for the last week.
Oof! If it's any consolation, a lot of ASL's interpretation also comes from body language and facial expression, so he probably knew what you meant lol.
