> Why aren't you laying on the horn to wake the clueless idiot up?
> Because that would be "road rage", and you could be ticketed for it. -Dave It's more because it usually doesn't do anything but waste the horn. To these idiots, the horn is used when: You are waiting in front of somebody's house or apartment with the engine idling, instead of turning off the vehicle and going inside to see if there is something delaying them. You see somebody driving faster than you. You're blocked by someone who wants to drive slower than you, after you've blocked traffic for the past five minutes. You're behind someone at a green light that doesn't move on green, after you've done the delayed start at the past five traffic lights. |

"Skip Elliott Bowman" > says: >It works great on timed lights Not too many of those here in LA, though. What's also infuriating here is how you'll leave one green light, and the light ahead goes red halfway to it (and trust me, these people move *slowly*). It's as if there's a plan in place to keep street traffic moving at a crawl. -Kenny -- Kenneth R. Crudup Sr. SW Engineer, Scott County Consulting, Los Angeles H: 3630 S.

Heh, someone blocked a parking lot with a Corrolla when an unnamed driver had a pickup about 2 years ago, and similarly said everyone else could wait until they were done, or find some other way out. Since the truck's towing capacity was about double the Toyota's weight, the driver slowly started pushing the Toyota (parking brakes be damned!) until it's owner realized the driver wasn't joking and decided it would be smart to get it out of the exit. The Toyota owner threatened to call the cops, but everyone else waiting (as well as an employee who came out to see what happened) were eager to be the driver's alabi. Nobody saw nothing, and everyone else was free to leave. (Names have been changed, but you get the idea.) Dave |

The only good >thing about it was that I was working, so at least I was paid for >waiting, but I was still ****ed. Walking through a parking lot this evening to a restaurant, a small car pulls into the aisle, stops right in the middle (despite a multitude of open spaces they could have easily pulled into). The driver and his passenger both get out, Chinese-firedrill-style, and proceed to swap drivers - despite the cars waiting behind to get through. The happy couple then proceeds to engage in a nice, deep kiss while still standing in the open driver's door. The woman then gets into the car, leisurely fastens her seat belt, and slowly drives away, leaving the man to walk into the restaurant and finally clearing the traffic aisle. Goddamn MFFYs... >And there's only so much you can do >when you have your company's logo on the doors... That doesn't stop some morons. |

The asshole should have found his car on its side when he came out. Or someone should have mugged him for his keys. |

If he had called the cops, first thing they'd do after hearing the story is probably write him a ticket for something... |
