np So laying on your horn did nothing. Why did you continue to do something that wasn't working?


Seriously. I was in this type of situation on Tuesday and the a-hat laying on the horn was more annoying than the confused driver who made us miss a light cycle. You get one flash of your headlights and one light toot on your horn, then stop. Just chill until they move on.


No. We “get” to lay on the horn if you selfishly block traffic. Cope.


But it doesn't occur to you how rude and selfish you are being by laying on your horn and forcing everyone in your vicinity to have to hear that. Just flash your headlights.


Oh no! The sound of horns!

And I’m laughing at whoever suggested these are foreigners driving around. Having driven in many foreign countries I can tell you they’re not staying in the left lane to turn right. They’re either going to take it and cut everybody off, or they’re making that left..


Is the problem that your headlights are broken or that flashing your headlights isn't as offensive as leaning on the horn? The one you're blowing the horn at isn't the only one who has to hear it. It's great that you have a horn set up in your living room and blow it 24/7 but I doubt your neighbors appreciate it.

Why do you keep mentioning head lights as a way to communicate with someone in front of you in broad daylight? That’s barely more effective than mental telepathy. What do you think horns are for?

You need to honk more, unless you rarely drive. If you're honked at, more than you honk at, then you're probably a terrible driver.

I like you.

That was a good laugh .

Don’t come to a dead stop on a highway or try to cross three lanes to get to an exit. Just keep going and you’ll get where you’re going eventually.


This is what I do most of the time.

I never like to slow down other motorists because I know how annoying it is when it happens to me!

Thank you for this feel-good story. I really needed it.

He shouldn’t just lose his license for a while. He should be required to earn it back by completing a driver’s ed course and having to pass the written and driving exams again.

^^Definitely agree. I actually rolled my eyes at the first few posts who said they always lay on their horn in such situations. That is so damned annoying. I’ll even say it’s just as annoying as the idiot blocking the lane.

I figure horns were created for a-hats like you that think it's cool to annoy the crap out of everyone in the vicinity because you were inconvenienced. BTW, if you can see a headlight flash, consider getting your eyes checked. Even in broad daylight they can be seen but I understand, they just aren't offensive enough for folks like you.

For those of you so sensitive to the sound of horns... did you grow up in the country or a rural area? Horns are meant to be used to get the attention of other drivers, or pedestrians, or anyone - for a reason.

I suspect those of you who are so irritated, are probably the same people complaining about "plane noise."

Suspect whatever you want. Horns are obnoxious.

Sure, the first driver is in the wrong because they are plugging up the lane because they made a mistake. No argument there.
I question what you are achieving by laying on your horn? I suppose venting your rage is better than kicking the dog when you get home. Otherwise, you're just escalating the situation and generally making the world less nice.


Thanks for the lecture, Pollyanna.
