My neighbour salutes me.

squod

Not in a ''howaye bud'' way either. Casual, but more like a '30s Germany kinda way. What to do? Should I talk to him about this, or should I just salute back?

What's the social norm for dealing with this kind of thing?

frozenfrozen

like a finger pushing away from his head kind of way? if it's not like a scene from nazi germany then it's fine

Schism

You salute him back in a more ''howaye bud' type of way as you say yourself and think no more about it.

Also, watch Apt Pupil.

John Doe1

Do a goosestep

Mance Rayder

Just give him the Black Panther salute back.

sweeney1971

Salute him back but your way. It is quite common in England the Nazi Salute. Nothing bad is intended, its saying to other's who are loyal to their Country 'Hello'

Is your driveway the same shape as a swastika?

Don't mention the war

I can't. There's no burds or car chases in it.

Higher up. Think it's all the fashion now in N.Korea

It's the farmers salute

Have you never seen a man drive a tractor past you?
Or a farmer [or someone from a farm] salute you?

Extend the right arm out and move the hand

What has you worried OP

How about extending the arm out and not waving the hand?

Aha! If you know that, you've seen it already. You can call me Schism, Super Sleuth from now on.

Come out dressed as a Rabbi one day and see if he still salutes you.

If he does, then he's not a Nazi and your just a paranoid guy dressed as an orthodox Jew.

If he doesnt then sue him for anti-faux-semitism.:pac:

Thinks he'd just phone the SPCA. I'm allergic to fur in anyways........

Mance Rayder

If his fist isn't closed then its probably just the farmers salute.

Don't worry about it, you should be ok. He's probably gonna invade the Polish house next door any day now, though.

I told you not to get your tache trimmed like that. Serves you right.

Is this your gate?

Larianne

Is there a house in Ranleigh/Rathmines when viewed from above looks like a swastika? (Sure I read about it in AH a few years back). Do you live beside there OP?

Shryke

If you're finding this tough to deal with I suggest you investigate the cavities of your heart with a screwdriver.

Jesus what a depressing picture... Evokes a lot of feelings, not least the thought of what the people coming through there must have felt.
Scary stuff. A friend of mine visited there and when he came back home and told me about it it was obvious he was shaken by the experience.
I know some people who should definitely go there, to get some perspective, it's real easy to be blasé about it.

Are you a magpie OP?

A non-committal nod I think would suffice.
Either that or 'go away you mentalist'.

Templeogue Road. It's not shaped like a swastika though. But was once owned by a German guy who may have been a Nazi sympathiser, or an art collector, I forget which.
