It annoys the crap out of me when OTHER drivers honk their horns but I feel like I have complete license to honk my horn whenever I damn well please and for however long I like. I'm into double standards clearly.Sarah Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130247223287762814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526258348124329445.post-20036083883894906312010-08-27T21:03:19.763-07:002010-08-27T21:03:19.763-07:00Horn honkers drive me nuts too, but not as much as...Horn honkers drive me nuts too, but not as much as Glenn Beck's voice. That man makes me want to do some damage whenever I hear him talk.

I don't think I've come near using my allotted time per month. Can I save it and use it when incredibly necessary? :)Ms Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140140906016226800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526258348124329445.post-50134993174899240572010-08-24T07:47:27.416-07:002010-08-24T07:47:27.416-07:00There must be a lot of honkers in New Yawk! I thin...There must be a lot of honkers in New Yawk! I think my husband is embarrassed by the size of his, er, horn. He drives a big ass truck - 1 1/2 tons, to pull our fifth wheel, but it has a wimpy horn. eee-eee. We're thinking of replacing it with a honking air horn to blast when stupid people pull in front of us when we're tooling down the road pulling our trailer. Hello, stupid! We've got a LOT of weight behind us - do you think we can stop on a DIME? <br /><br />Okay, thanks, I feel better for venting.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756564685282866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526258348124329445.post-36548472001133811252010-08-23T23:17:20.255-07:002010-08-23T23:17:20.255-07:00I used to live in Athens where use of the horn was...I used to live in Athens where use of the horn was mandatory....seemed like it anyway! I'd love to have the chance to use my car horn emphatically but my current one sounds like Officer Hooks from Police Academy...'um...er, excuse me, please'...

The noise that drives me bat shit crazy, though, is the noise of people eating. I understand that some foods just make sounds that we can't help, but if I hear lip smacking, tongue whipping, spit flying noises I will think of killing a puppy. I actually always suggest dinners for first dates to see how the guy eats because that would be such a huge problem!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526258348124329445.post-9994740605546833942010-08-23T14:36:28.986-07:002010-08-23T14:36:28.986-07:00I HATE the horn.

Unfortunately for me I live right in the Bermuda Triangle of asshole drivers (the part of western KY that is bordered by IN and IL and also close to TN). It's scary how often people decide to just hop into your lane without looking to see if there's a little white car there first.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357887822077293787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526258348124329445.post-12877680661336157572010-08-23T13:34:40.210-07:002010-08-23T13:34:40.210-07:00I lived in Italy for a year, and in my experience ...I lived in Italy for a year, and in my experience Italians are very fond of car horn's. My flat looked out over a bus stop, cars would honk every time time a bus stopped to let people off. It drove me mad. I had to learn to put up with it though, when in Rome and all that. <br /><br />One of my biggest irritations is people who don't stand aside to let people off the train before trying to board. It's the only time I feel that violence is perhaps the answer.TbRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217928195910589154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526258348124329445.post-28198238229674008892010-08-23T12:26:58.425-07:002010-08-23T12:26:58.425-07:00I meant QUARTER of a second.

My favorite line? "If you know you ...Bwa ha! <br /><br />My favorite line? "If you know you only have so much horn to honk, perhaps you would ration it better and not go honking willy nilly."<br /><br />Or else this one: "The sound of the horn, no matter how quickly it is pressed can be quite abrasive, and you might not want to use it if you are a kind and decent human being that doesn’t suck."<br /><br />Yes, this was a good post...<br /><br />The thing that makes me bonkers above all else is another sound: loud eaters. I seriously have to close my eyes and make myself NOT bitch-slap the person sitting next to me who slurps/gobbles/smacks. <br /><br />I have a very dear friend who is a loud eater. Cereal's the worst. <br /><br />How did so many people not learn to eat silently?<br /><br />Just sayin'...the ginabeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237796696115756778noreply@blogger.com
