Part of this kind of thing, I believe, is a result of our self-esteem culture. Everyone is walking around with a chip on their shoulder because they have been taught from birth that they are “special” and “Don’t let anyone disrespect you!”
Now instead of a honk being taken in stride, people erupt in boiling rage.
“Now instead of a honk being taken in stride, people erupt in boiling rage.”
Which so fail to understand. Honking annoys me but never know who people are honking at, who did the honking only that the honking itself is annoying. It’s not enough to make me want to punch someone but just get away from the nerve wracking sound.
