Have you ever been driving and sitting in traffic with no where to go, and the genius behind you starts honking his horn incessantly, as if his one horn is going to part traffic like Moses parted the Red Sea so he could just go through with ease.

As if that isn't bad enough, the bunch of followers behind him also start honking and now not only are you sitting in trafficm and annoyed at that, but you have to listen to the sounds of 12 car horns honking for no apparent reason, because it is not like it is going to do any good.
Do you get mad or bothered by this or do you join in and start honking along with everyone else.

Yeah, I wonder what is up with these people who do that? I remember this one guy behind me at a light who kept honking his horn so that I would move and he could get in a left turn lane. Well, I couldn't move up any more without hitting the car in front of me. I've hit someone like that before and it's not a fun thing to deal with. If I looked in a rear view mirror, the guy would be waving his hands at me as if I could move my car through matter to let him through. When the light finally turned green, I stuck my head out the window and laughed at him really loud. I guess he heard it because he seemed to get really infuriated and gave one really long honk. I hope he was so mad that he got a heart attack.

I don't know why idiots do that, it doesn't help to honk if the traffic isn't moving. I always wish a cop would come along and pull them over and give them a ticket. You are not supposed to honk your car horn unless it is an emergency, like your brakes have failed and you must warn others that you cannot stop.
People that honk just make me want to drive slower LOL


myLot reputation of 89/100. desertdarlene (5655)   ranked 55 out of 542 in driving  4 months ago

You're exactly right. You're only supposed to honk your horn for the very reasons you mentioned. I remember seeing a TV show where this guy honked at a cop who was blocking his way. The cop gave him a ticket for that, not to mention a good tongue lashing.

I'd love to see that happen in real life! LMAO

Hi risris. I hate it. It drive me crazy and if the person that is honking his horn is near to me I always say: try to fly over the cars fool! And some horns have a sound very irritant.

No, I have never been in traffic where folks start honking their horns! I can imagine that it would be very annoying though! It is bad enough when I am just walking down the street and folks beep their horns at each other to say hello, never mind being stuck with it all around me LOL.

I think honking is really annoying. I actually haven't driven in about a year, so I haven't been in a traffic jam for quite some time, but I see stuff like this all the time as a pedestrian in the city!

People will just lay on their horns when a small little beep would do (if it's needed at all). Not only is it annoying to the other drivers, but it drives my boyfriend and I crazy when we're just trying to have a nice walk or talk outside (or even inside our apartment) and someone is laying on the horn merely out of what seems to be impatience.

I get pretty mad, cause like you said, it's not going to part the traffic. It's just a good waste of energy. Just crank up the tunes and relax until traffic starts to move.

Yes, it does bother me when people beep as if doing so will make the traffic go away.:-)

I have a great horn honking tale - and a true one - about something that happened to me.

The light ahead of me was red, and I was waiting to make a right turn. Of course that meant that if traffic allowed, I could make a right turn on red. But there was a large truck sitting on my left and blocking my view of what might be coming from the left.

The guy in the car behind me started honking his horn. That triggered a rage like I've never known before.

I leapt from my car, surprised at my own reaction to the honking horn. I was mad! I remember silently praying to God to keep me from doing something stupid, even while I was rushing to the car behind me.

I tapped on the guy's window. Well, perhaps I banged on the window. He rolled the window down, and although he was much bigger than I was, he appeared to be afraid. I suppose I looked like a crazed woman. I probably was one.

Before he could say anything, I shouted, "Do you know my friend Jesus?"

Relief spread over his face, and he quietly answered, "Yes."

"Good," I said. "I guess that means you were honking for Jesus. But you know…I don't have a bumper sticker on my car asking you to do that."

The light had turned green, so I quickly jumped back into my car. As made my right turn, I waved and gave a short, "toot, toot" on my horn. The other Christ-follower responded with a wave and "toot, toot" of his own.

That's the way it happened. Thankfully, I've never experienced that kind of rage again. And, just as thankfully, I encounter very few folks who honk unnecessarily.:-)


Blessings,
Marilyn

I was in traffic light and it was red. There were three other cars in front of me. When the light turned to green, the stupid behind me honking although he knew the line had not move any inch yet.

It took about 1-2 seconds to release brake, kick the pedal and go. Can't he wait for about a few seconds? Each time I meet genius like him I always want to yell to him "be patience moron, do you think this is an F1 car?"

Some people do have problem with their attitude. Right now I just ignore them. It is not worth to spend your time and energy for people like that.

risris24,that's a nightmare.
I had such a similar experience last week,when I was driven with my sister in-law.
The terrible honking,just as if they were killing PIGs,hurt my ears.

But my sister in-law seemed quite graceful that time,she put on her lipstick in the car with a big smile.That was what really drove me crazy!

Well,as a non-Christian, trying to remember the story correctly- Moses struck the water with his staff, the waters of the Red Sea receded, and the Miracle happened. The genius behind you began blowing his Horn because he wanted a miracle to happen. And 'Bye Jiggers' the traffic receded, and you were able to drive on! Just as the Red Sea receded, a miracle happened. Moses was a Genious too!
