Classic - though there are times when it is 100% warranted.

Default Absolutely. One day I'll tell you the story about honking at an unmarked police car :)

He was amused, let me tell you. But when you don't move for five seconds at a green light, you are asking for it.

Default I did that too...

Two lane road. Me behing the police car and the lady next to the police car, all waiting for the police car to go through the intersection after the light turned green. After a few seconds of no one moving I honken and the police car just took off, I tried to keep up but there was just no way.

Default What a whiney little bitch! His "Woe is me" story makes me want to kick his ***...

...sorry to hear about your personal problems pal, but if you cant pay attention to the task at hand then you shouldnt be on the f-ing road.

I love the part where he intreprets/translates honks - where the hell did he learn that skill?

The fact that he sat there long enough for the guy to honk on two separate occasions just confirms his stupidity.

People that are self righteous or predisposed to the victim syndrome make me nuts.

Default Absolutely. Maybe I read it wrong - but I thought he was poking fun at the guy honking...

...in stead of poking fun at his self righteous / victim / idiotic reaction.

Which is exactly where the humor lies... it's satire...
