Rude
Some old dude was scooting past on an electric scooter for the elderly, he looked as I sipped my coffee on the porch. I waved - it's a small town. He just looked at me and drove on by.
WTF? That's great, leave me hanging you old codger. I dunno, old people today..

Awww shame, I'm sure he was just a particularly grumpy old dude... or maybe his reflexes were slow or he had bad arthritis?
Just the other day Gam and I were riding to uni and passed some nice old guy on one of those gopher-thingies, and he gave us a wave- I was so surprised I almost didn't remember to wave back, because that never usually happens here. Maybe those of us who regularly have near-death experiences with car drivers feel a certain bond of solidarity...
Like most old people he was probably a fascist liberal voter. Do you really want that sort of person to wave at you?
In the country, the done thing to do is lift your index finger in greeting from off the steering wheel as you pass each other.
And if they don't lift back, well, that's rude too.
He probably though Mr Watermelon was a hippy and was worried he'd be seduced and hooked on the weed.
