> [@jayjay](#): > > As someone very wise once said about self-diagnosed “Asperger’s sufferers”, “It’s a social disability, not an asshole license.” Haha, I like it 🙂 So far we know that Diamonds02 is racist, likes to make other people smell farts (even though she thinks her own farts don’t smell very bad), and thinks it’s hilarious when her friend blasts his horn early in the morning. I’m thinking that Diamonds02 must believe she has a special secret-agent level “license to be an asshole” privilege, and not just your average everyday class C asshole license that most assholes have. ---

While I think the “friend” is an asshole for his behavior, and said as much in the original thread (actually, “a dick” was the term I used), this pitting is meh. Diamonds said she thought the behavior was funny, explained herself about as well as one can expect under the circumstances, and then this pitting appeared. Asked and answered. How much more explanation is really necessary? ---

Wow, I was not expected to be pitted for such an innocuous comment. Really, I just said “I find it funny as hell” as something in the passing, you know? Yeah, it’s kind of jerkish to get a laugh out of someone’s expense, but who doesn’t? Don’t we all laugh at guys getting kicked in the crotch? It’s not me doing the honking, first and foremost. It’s my friend and he’s responsible for any consequences that may occur. Especially that we warned him. I find the idea of what he did funny, I’m just a bystander. I will not reap any consequences whatsover. > [@drewtwo99](#): > > You and your friend are idiots, as you have evidenced in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=634742).

But the fact that you find his honking the horn so innocuous makes me think you probably agree. Guess what?

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. Wow, that’s a really robust reaction! Chill dude 🙂 I must admit though, I’ll sleep through anything. I’ve slept through 1. earthquakes 2. NYE gunshots fired by meth-necks. 3. Friends having loud BDSM in the next room in a lodge during a camping trip. etc. etc. etc. I doubt some car horn going off would wake me.

I have to admit, I _might_ find the activity mildly amusing if it was done by a fictional character who was already over-the-top in assholery, but if I actually knew someone who did this for real, I’d have no problem disassociating myself from him, as life is too short to hang out with such people. ---

Don’t we all laugh at guys getting kicked in the crotch? It wasn’t innocuous. Being woken up by somebody as a recreational sport is incredibly destructive if you have small children, health problems, work the night shift or any number of things that sociopaths never think or care about. The thing that is amazing is that you seem to have the humor and social skills of a 12 year old boy and yet you find the need to post here regularly. There are lots of people like you out there unfortunately but you won’t find many here. Shoo, flee, go back to your tribe. I don’t laugh at farts or guys getting kicked in the crotch either. Fuck America’s Funniest Home Videos as well while we are at it. It is juvenile and cheap humor and should have no place among people in the First World. One involves a basic body function and the other involves extreme pain and the potential for having a man’s reproductive hopes dashed. There is nothing there that anyone but an imbecile would find funny about that. How would you like it if someone slipped you a tampon filled with Drano? Hilarious right? People here do have a well developed sense of humor but it just isn’t compatible with yours. I know your grandmother just told you to agree with negative things that people say so that they just roll right off of you. Bad advise. You really should listen to some of the criticism sometimes because you really are that screwed up and will have to address it at some point. ---

not that I want to come to Diamonds02’s defense, but somebody evidently just farted and all the guys around the room erupted with laughter as if it was the funniest thing in the world. Fart humor is pretty universal, though I can’t think of a time when I actually laughed at a fart in real life, or had the urge to fart in a public place. Fart jokes on TV can be funny if executed well.
