Get a public employee mad for doing a slow job and the cops get called.

Yeah and they called the cops on me, when I told them they were doing a bad job.

Actually the horn of your vehicle is to tell people look I am here.

I spent just over 2 years of Army life in Panama where the drivers there have one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the horn.......LOL!

Did the horn-blowing speed things up? Probably not.

I will gently tap the horn if someone has not noticed a light has changed. But blaring at them because they’re having a problem is just crude.

You ever been to San Francisco? Up there they issue you a gas peddle, a brake, and a horn. Steering wheel optional.

If they hit the brake more than the horn up there, I’ll be surprised.

Everyone honks, and honks, and honks, and honks...

Sounds like you had a rough day. Maybe this will make you laugh:

Pretty amazing they want to criminalize criticism of government at any level

You must not be native Texan. Honking down here get you in a heap of trouble.

Just returned from a 2 week trip to Kolkata (Calcutta). Anyone who is bothered by horns being honked in this country needs to spend 5 minutes in a speeding taxi in downtown Koltata!!

Feel free guys, to liberate my nick when the time is right for you.

I once had a date in Calcutta, but the gal waited in Kolkata. I could write a song about it!

I live/work in NYC and so I've got a pedestrian horn (my mouth). While pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way, the cars always try cutting around you while you are crossing, and once in a while some idiot will pull right up to you and honk - expecting that it will intimidate you into crossing the street faster so he can go.

When that happens, I stop in my tracks, turn toward him, spread my arms wide and yell "HOOOOONNNNK"!

And once (when I was younger, and happened to be wearing steel-toed shoes at the time) I kicked the back side panel of a car that had just cut me off while closing the street and came to close for comfort. To his credit, he did stop half a block away (maybe he thought he hit me), so I just looked back at his car and yelled "YEAH, I KICKED YOUR CAR" - at which point he drove off.

NYC traffic cops aren't much better - they seem more interested in moving traffic along then in the safety of the public. I frequently see traffic cops waive a line of cars waiting to make a left turn onto the Manhattan bridge while streams of people are still in the process of trying to get across. And when I was one of them, I used my pedestrian "HONK" at that idiot cop - like you said, it meant "Hey, I am here". I got a funny look from the cop - but I think she got the message.

gas peddle

Gas peddler.

Government employees stick together...Ya look at one of these animal control people the wrong way, and they’ll call the cops too...Cops will nearly always back their fellow government employee buddies.

Awesome. So they have horns instead of turn signals?

One of my EX’s parents went there about 20 years ago.
Said it was interesting but didn’t care for the dead
lying in the street.

You follow the rules of your employer. Even then, you will be wrong. My personnel file is full of those type of write ups. I still get paid. So, f’em.

I live just north of DFW and I truly understand the BS that goes along with the toll plaza. Incompetents and, I swear, most are not able to speak English. They are rude, too.

[redreno]

Did you find out, why they were so darn slow? Might have been following instructions from the boss.

[Average Al]

"I do not disagree with your complaint. I just pointed out that the reason to have a horn is to warn someone of impending danger not to complain that one is in a long slow line."

Yes, you start shooting if you want the line to move! ;-)

Go to DFWairport.com and search for Dean Ahmed.

He's a government guy making $200.00o a year, while making our lives hell.

[DoughtyOne]

There you go. And you’ve always got the horn with you.
