People honking their car horn in anger...
A pet peeve and a confusion of mine - Drivers who honk at people in anger.

Why I'm confused – because I don't know what the honker expects to happen in those situations. It's pointless, but the driver obviously thinks that they are administering some sort of punishment on whoever they are directing it toward I guess.

Mind you – I'm not saying that bad drivers should be left alone and not abused – but a honk is pathetic.

It's the kind of distanced, dish-out of punishment where, the honker can remain anonymous, show a fit of fleeting anger, and fuck off as quickly as they came.

Someone driving down the road real slow, and holding up traffic behind them would probably receive a honk in say, 10 seconds of holding someone up, perhaps in an effort to hurry them along.

In the shops, I'd doubt if someone was taking their time to get through the cash register, the people would yell "for FUCKS sake, you FUCKING RETARD hurry the FUCK UP CUNT!" in the shops, perhaps in an effort to hurry them along.

Kinda like the anonymous freedom the Internet gives people, to abuse the shit out of others from the safety of their own home.

Like the guy who honks at someone while driving past:
Does whatever happened really put you out that much?
I'm gonna teach that guy a lesson and …….. honkity honky honk.

"oooohhhh shit he HONKED at me. Fuck – that's gonna take a while to get over"

I drive in a pretty relaxed way sometimes -
I don't indicate if noone's around.
I drive in the middle of the road a lot.
Even if people are around I don't indicate.
I've even driven 50 k/ph in all the way out to Elizabeth just for the fuck of it.
Sometimes, if someone looks like they're in a hurry behind me, I'll drive really slow, and speed up accordingly. Hopefully it was you.

Yeh – I get honked when I do shit like that. I don't care for it much, because I know I'm doing it, and I'm glad it's giving you the shits.

There have been times where I've nearly been smashed into 'cos of dickheads not being aware of what's going on around them – i.e. pulling out infront of me, changing lanes without looking, doing right turns from left lanes etc. I'm too busy trying to avoid these dicks to bother honking.

A friend I was with at such a time got so mad
"DID YOU SEE THAT!! HONK!! FUCK - - HONK AT THEM! WHY DIDN'T YOU HONK AT THEM??!! FUCK ME HONK, fuck – they're gone now. Why didn't you honk?"

I don't really care.
And I'll be fucked if it gets me that angry.

If I wanna get angry at dickheads I'll do it here from the safety of the internet...

You obviously have no respect for other road users
As such you should have your license removed and be smashed into a wall because of your extra stupidity. You actually can drive, apparently, and yet you actively go out of your way to be a shit twunt of a road user.

What a twat. Fail.

Well...
"Even if people are around I don't indicate." - You get honked for such a thing because you're not giving anyone indication (indicator... indication) of your intentions. As such they have to guess what you're doing. People are paying attention not only to you but also the road ahead. So if you just start slowing down for apparently fuck all reason, they're going to be a little peeved when you suddenly zip off without giving them a hint first.
A honk isn't just given in anger, but to let you know that you're doing something retarded and maybe you should stop.
I admit that I slow down if someone behind me is right up my arse, but that's what you're 'supposed' to do. It's good driving practice.
"I don't know what the honker expects to happen in those situations." - Expectation is that the offender will realise they're being an arse.

Of course, the above does not apply to people acting as though they own the road.

ps - what vix0r, with a little less swearing, anger and horn pipping.
