India or China, were it’s; conversation, warning, polite courtesy, informative passing information, announcement to passengers or the most common application, just for the fuck of it.
Huge difference from SoCal to SF! When I first moved, I kept getting left on the curb as my friends (and EVERYone else) just pranced across willy-nilly between cars. Meanwhile, I was glancing at the cop on the corner, sure he was about to write everyone tickets. Nope, too laid back a town, I guess.
And too laid back to do much honking either…
Well, my car’s a Toyota and it’s not Merkin, so apparently and per dropzone’s studies of horn-i-ness it’s already got a pussy horn. But I want one that meows. I’ll take a raincheck on the Hello Kitty pics.
So if I honk at a hot chick and she takes it as an insult even though I meant it as a compliment, does it make a sound? Rhetorically speaking of course.
I want my next car to have a rhetorical horn.
Yeah, but in the US we have lunatics who shoot up movie theaters and universities; we let corporations pick our presidents; some of our states have third world level health indicators; we jail more people than any place other than Russia and China; and we are really, really fat. So that’s a tossup too.
Hell yeah. Just happened to me yesterday. Some olddouchebaglady in a minivan started honking at me the moment the light turned green. Usually I’m pretty fast out of the gate when I’m the first at a light as I drive a sporting car…but the old douchey failed to realize that we were making a left on green without an arrow, and that there was a car going straight through the intersection coming the other way…and that, you know…I had to yield before turning. I guess she thought I was supposed to quickly bang a lefty in front of the car.
I’m all pointing at the car coming across the intersection as she’s laying on her horn as if to say “DO YOU NOT SEE THIS CAR YOU FUCKING IDIOT!?!?!”
Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I’m-My-Own-Grandpa!
I’d like an ironic horn.
beep
“WTF? Oh, you mean that ironically. Never mind.”
There are two possibilities here. I’ve experienced such a douchebag too, and they are very deserving of exploding in a huge ball of flame, Hollywood-style.
I’ve also been the second car. The first car pulls to the light and does NOT signal, so I do not pull around into the right lane. By the time the light turns, there is a line of cars on the right so I can’t get around and that is when the car in front decides to signal. Boy, that’s really helpful…here, I’ve got a missile just for you (driver of non-signaling car)!
That second scenario sucks too. But no, yesterday we both had our indicators on, signaling for a left turn. I’m really not sure why she was honking at me. She had to see the first car in line coming the other way through the intersection was going straight, and that I had to yield my left turn to it. Sure, I could have just mashed the gas and turned left in front of the car, but I hate people that pull that maneuver too. Its a dick move.
America, what a country! In America, you cross the street. In my country, street crosses you!
Which is America, right? 
I remember reading that in Reader’s Digest yonks ago. Thanks for the blast from the past.
On a different note, I’ve toyed with the idea of a secondary horn that sounds like screeching brakes. For assholes who get honked at so much that they don’t even hear the horns any more.
It would probably be illeagal, although I’m not sure which law it would be breakiing.
If you want to see (and hear) something really rude either go to the Hornblasters website or look them up on Youtube.
Jeeze, even THAT would be more butch than the horns they put in Toyotas.
As for the OP, one of the great things about being in the USA is that you can legally kill anybody who sounds his horn at you, unless he’s a cop.
Small Print: I am not a lawyer, nor all that masculine, so any advice I give regarding the law or car horns should be disregarded entirely.
How do I roll on my insurance company? With a credit card?
There was someone, not sure where, that wanted there to be consequences for honking your horn. Something inconvenient but not impacting your decision to use the horn if it is really needed. Something like your stereo/radio would lose power for 10 minutes.
Silly, but I liked it 
It’s been awhile since I was in Mexico City, but I recall that for such a large metropolis, there was surprisingly little horn honking. I was told it’s because the drivers are usually armed and generally quick to start blasting their rods.
You want to look into getting one of these.
Oh, also, the OP is a goddam moron. Anyone hugely insulting him is probably in the right.
