You and your friend are idiots, as you have evidenced in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=634742). More than that, you are probably both sociopaths. The thread starts out decently, with you recognizing (rightly), that when your friend is blasting his horn early in the morning on your route, it _might_, just _might_ be breaking the law. So you at least have a few brain cells working. Of course, at the same time you say… > [@Is this against the law?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-this-against-the-law/606048/1): > > I find this funny as hell… So maybe your brain cells are only operating at about 0.001% efficiency. Really? Funny as hell? How about I come drive around your neighborhood and blast my horn a few hours before you’re ready to wake up. And I do this EVERY FUCKING MORNING for weeks on end. You think you’d find that funny? [QUOTE=Diamonds02] Why? Immature, yeah. But, what he’s doing seems annoying, but pretty benign. [/QUOTE] So you think that driving around blasting your horn, waking people up, disturbing dogs and possibly babies is benign? You must have The Royal Assholes Dictionary, 3rd Edition or something because I’m pretty sure you and your friend are the only two people in your situation who think you are doing something “benign.” [QUOTE=Diamonds02] He doesn’t find this an issue because HE’S up early in the morning. And working too. He thinks if he can tough it out, others can too. And he thinks people should be up by then cooking breakfast…it’s like an alarm clock. [/QUOTE] I pray to Og that you don’t agree with him on this point. But the fact that you find his honking the horn so innocuous makes me think you probably agree. Guess what? PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN ALARM CLOCKS, HAVE THEIR OWN LIVES, THEIR OWN SCHEDULES, AND DON’T NEED YOU AND YOUR FRIEND FUCKING WITH THEIR LIVES. I know this is kind of a lame pitting because 1) it’s just so fucking easy, no one is going to come to your defense and 2) you seem to at least WANT your friend to stop doing what he’s doing, even if it means a few less laughs for you. But damn. You just rub me the wrong way. So, Diamonds02, come on down and explain to us all why you think it’s so goddamn funny what you and your friend are doing. And also, for fuck’s sake, of course it’s illegal. Nearly all cities have noise ordinances that you would be violating. As well as the fact that horns are supposed to be used in emergencies ONLY, and there are almost always laws to that fact. ---

My standard assumption in these cases is that there is no “friend” or early morning honking going on. Somebody just wanted to get a rise out of strangers on the internet. ---

I seem to recall that she has said she’s on the autism spectrum, if that explains any of her unusual behavior or posting style. Or else she was raised by a wire-mesh mother. ---

Wow… Thank you for sharing this. If Diamonds02 really is autistic, I’m sorry for pitting an autistic person. I am not a psychologist, or specialist in determining autism, but these posts, along with the driving while honking, have got to be some pretty strong evidence. ---
