I have only honked twice. Once when I was in New York because it feels so standard there, and again when I was driving home and someone was going the wrong way on a one way highway straight at me.
There's a guy I drive the same route as for a bit in the morning who honks LITERALLY the second a light turns green. Without fail. Every day. Every light.
I complain when I'm really far away and someone holds the door but I thought this dude was holding the door for me this morning while I was looking down and I walked right into that MFer..hard. Payback for me complaining haha
I was ordering coffee today and the person behind me was using facetime on max volume while I ordered and also while I waited for my drink. I nearly lost it.
How you and @ChaseTx haven't felt the need to honk more in Dallas is beyond me. I try not to overuse my horn, but at least every week or two there's someone who would've run me off the road if I didn't use the horn and/or swerve to get out of their way.
There's much more effective ways of making someone feel terrible about their shitty driving rather than honking imo.
People you don't really know/like asking to borrow money. There's this dude that just started working with me and within a couple days he asked my other co-worked to share his PlayStation account with him, then asked me for my Netflix login, then asked both of us to borrow $20 the following day. Neither of us gave him anything, but have you no shame?
I don't honk to make someone feel bad about their driving, rather to avoid a collision... although suggestions for ways to shame them is more than welcome.
Pulling up beside them and inching slowly while staring. They can tell you're staring and become physically uncomfortable. If they meet your gaze give them a sarcastic wave. None of my suggestions prevent you from getting shot from your passive aggressiveness btw. It also doesn't prevent your significant other from yelling at you to stop it and it ruining date night .
Yeah, with open carry being a thing here in Texas, I usually have to let me road rage simmer down, but I've found that an air horn can be fun to have in the car.
Back packing off this I hate when people beg for stuff online. Like "someone bring me _____", asking for logins like that unless it's specifically a community of friends. There's a girl I know that literally begs for concert tickets, people to order her pizza's, etc but goes to concerts every night and spends any money she makes on concert tickets but then gets evicted because she didn't pay rent. It's absurd.
That's insane. I don't understand people like that. This guy sounds like a big moocher. Don't ever give him anything ever. Not even a ride somewhere. I worked with a guy (at an old job) who always asked for rides, and it was last second too. Annoyed the shit out of me. Like dude is there any reason to ask last second when you know you want one. Also at the time he had the money to buy a car and afford to keep it. But refused to buy one because "his parents won't let him" or whatever the fuck the reason was. If I'm not mistaken his parents paid for everything and he had a really good summer job making really good money.
That's ridiculous. I'm willing to help people that truly can't afford things, but people that blow their money and slack on responsibility and then want my help, can forget it. Dude asked for my Netflix login and I said, you got Hulu... HBO... and he just stood there with this blank look.
He may be moocher, but I more-so think he just lacks social skills and doesn't really know/care. He's definitely old enough to realize what he's doing and I could go on and on about this guy and give 1000 other examples as to how he doesn't know how to act in a work environment, but I almost feel bad for him because I think he may have some developmental issues or something.
People who complain about making rent money but don't want to work when they are scheduled to work or spend their money on nonsense
