Now I wish green lights had strobes to wake up zombies looking at their phones. I'm going to wear out my horn at this point due to people treating a red light like phone time out and not paying attention.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoEnh, that's annoying, but easily fixed by a polite quick-tap on the horn. I've made a conscious decision not to let it stress me out when someone adds all of 5 seconds to my commute. I'm more annoyed by the people who lay on the horn like a New York cabbie if I'm half a second late off the line (sometimes because of an obstruction they can't see).
- lbsnake7 7y agoYou aren’t supposed to take that too seriously. The cabbies are usually doing it for dramatic effect for their passenger. It works for me when I’m in a cab and my cabbie honks at people. Feels like he’s trying to get somewhere on time. Probably if I paid attention, I would see him honking at people waiting for legitimate reasons.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoI'm talking about ordinary commuters who honk like they're furious cabbies.
- post_break 7y agoI have to honk more than a second to get them to realize I'm honking at them. And 9 times out of 10 unless I honk I won't make the light because I'm 2 cars back and the people in front are either not paying attention too, or are too scared to honk. The worst are left green arrow snoozers.
