Have you ever accidentally honked your car horn? I do this ALL the time, in fact I did it again this morning. I hate when I do this! Whenever I do it, I am usually stopped at a traffic light and as soon as I honk the horn, everyone else stopped at the light starts looking around. Now, usually I will immediately play it cool and start looking around just like everyone else, throwing the occasional “who the hell honked the horn” glance at the other drivers, while rolling my eyes and shrugging my shoulders. But on occasion, the honk cannot be played off.

Like when you and one other driver are the only two at the light and you honk and he immediately gets defensive and starts flicking you off and cursing at you like you can hear or understand a word he is saying. Doesn’t this guy know that he is only forcing me to tailgate him for as long as I can and egg him on even more, just to cut him off at the last minute and speed off into the sunset, cackling like a maniac the whole time?

Or, when you are at a light and you are behind the car that is first in line to go, and you accidentally honk the horn and that car thinks that you are telling them that the light is green and they dart out into traffic, causing a big traffic accident. Are you required to stick around for this, if you were not “technically” involved in the accident and it appears that no one actually died? I didn’t think so either!
