I ran a red light today. I stopped for a minute, then realized that it was one of those incredibly long lights that isn't worth waiting at.
you should definitely ride with me sometime... my first car didn't have a horn, so i got into the habit of using other methods of retaliation, particularly shouting, the middle finger, and excessive tailgating. my current vehicle does have a horn, but i rarely remember to use it. when i do, i almost always lay on it for a long time.
Hehe, when I honk at people i give em the finger too.. and since I'm on a motorbike people see it They also think 'oh shit, biker, he's gonna pull alongside and shoot me'...
I've honked a few times that I can think of. Once when I was getting onto the interstate and it was a merging lane, and the car in front of me stopped to wait for traffic (instead of moving and merging). Another time was when someone was just going into my lane as if I weren't there. Another one was when someone was in the emergency lane, or whatever for when people break down. They were passing all this traffic that was during rush hour and tried to get in front of me and I honked and pulled up closer so they couldn't get it. I've learned since elementary school not to cut in line. =)
I use the horn when it decides to work. Otherwise I just yell at the person, give them the finger and then make their drive a living hell. haha I had one old man pull out in front of me, hit his breaks and then drive down the middle of the road so I couldn't pass. Old man didn't know me...I drove through the median (in the grass) got in front of him and slammed on my breaks. He barely missed me. He was then the one cussing and giving me the finger.
I honked at another person about thirty minutes ago. Another non-signal-er. Boo on you. This is madness.
it definitely is lookin that way! now I'm not sure how I ever got by not letting the people around me know when they are engaging in some form of foolery.
Wait until you are behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound truck with really loud air horns and a huge grill. Its hard to fight the urge to ram that big old front grill right through there car while your blowing the horn. So instead you radio ahead to another set of trucks, have them run side by side and slow the little fucker down, pull up and hit the horns giving them the finger. Good for you! The horn is there to attract attention, this gives you a greater chance to get them to look at you so you can let them know how you feel. Next try the atomic horn. This is when you press the horn and do not let up, follow the person with the horn blasting the whole time for atleast 4 blocks.
Thats the funniest move or when people drive with it on for a half hour and don't notice it. I have done that before.
I don't think I've ever heard my parents blow the horn on the car before. Well, anytime that wasn't an accident.
thats why i rarely mess with truckers. not that i never do, its just a rare occasion where i know i won't be screwed when by trucks in front of me
I'm usually the ass that is getting the honk ....and I give it right back I've had a few people follow me to where I was going...but they change their mind about getting out of the car once they see me
I'm about as un-intimidating as you can get -- so if somebody decided to follow me, it would probably be bad news. and I've always kinda wanted to be a truck driver.
Tip - If anyone starts to follow you in your vehicle, go directly to the closest police station. Do not stop anywhere else, or return to your home, etc. Go to the police station, and honk your horn, or call 911 until someone comes to your assistance. I mainly use my horn when I get home with a van full of groceries. I honk it until hubby/kids come outside to help carry them in. LOL
I get the idea that I'd love it, at least for a while. I occasionally just go driving for hours alone, just for the hell of it. Turn on my music and sing and then suddenly I realize I should probably head home. Also, it would be a cool thing to do and then write like a memoir of my experiences and whatnot. honestly there are many things I could see myself happy doing, just as long as I don't have to choose one of them forever.
