When I was learning to drive, I am taking a right at an intersection with a sign "No Turn on Red 8am-6pm". It was 5:55pm and as someone with only a couple hours of driving under my belt, I wasn't going to push it and waited for the light to turn.
Guy behind me just laid on his horn non-stop. My uncle in the passenger seat just told me calmly "Ignore that jerk" it's almost 20 years later and that memory sticks with me, in particular, how calm my uncle was about it given what a gruff grumpy dude he is.

Somebody tried to bully me out of a parking spot I'd been waiting several minutes for, just today. When a jerk decides to jump out of their car because you ignore the horn... best to leave the window up.

- klyrs 3y agoAmusingly, there was space to go around until the aggro jerk decided to block both directions, honk and yell, trapping the car that I was waiting to depart. Rather than wait another 30 seconds, they turned the situation into a 10 minute confrontation.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoHere I am resisting the urge to use my car horn even when I probably should and there are assholes on the road using it because they aren’t allowed to do something illegal and need to wait a few seconds. I would love a world where being a dick on the road quickly escalated to license suspensions.
