My cousin Sherol sends me these little funnies.


This is priceless!



The Light turned yellow

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up..

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally....I assumed you had stolen the car."

Priceless!

That's awesome!! I wish that would happen sometimes to these toolbags that tailgate on the freeway.

The one that really gets me are when you stop at a red, in preparation to turn right and some fool one or two cars back lays on the horn after 5 seconds because he can't see the kids or whomever in the crosswalk..makes me wish there was some sort of 'hey idiot response horn.'

I just don't get horns actually, I've probably hit mine more by accident than on purpose over the last 20 years. I can't think of once where it might have been useful to use the horn and I was able to get to it fast enough to make a difference. I guess I can see it in slow motion issues like a blind spot or inattentive driver in a parking lot but for the most part horns seem more used as a way for idiots to annoy people.

what drives me nuts are the idiots who honk the horn to get you to move at a light. i'd be okay with it if someone was sitting there not moving when the light turned green, but these idiots start laying into the horn as soon as they see the other side turn yellow. the light isn't even green yet and they are honking for people to start moving. it drives me nuts. when someone does that behind me i just sit at the light for about 10 seconds, just to annoy them. yes i know it's a dick move, but they really bother me.

Wow! A post that has no responses then 26 days later gets several at one time! FTW

I incorporated a time delay in the post Norm.

It's OK, I'm a bit passive-aggressive too.

[archenok]

Honking at intersections is just a dick move, unless there's an actual emergency or if the light turned GREEN and the guy in front is asleep.

I mean, honking at the left/right turners who are looking out for traffic and pedestrians and eventually venturing out across through traffic and stuff. If driver doesn't get clear vision or heck even if its an idiot behind the wheel, it's THAT driver's decision to make. - it's their car/lives on the line there so idiot honkers need to stfu and sit tight for a bit.

So the person sitting at the green visibly turned around talking to/yelling at their kids that may not have buckled in doesn't deserve a honking? How about the lady with the visor down doing makeup? What about the guy reading the newspaper?

I'm not being an idiot...this stuff is real here and yes, I will be a dick and honk at them.

completely justifiable honking.

i never understood how people read the newspaper and drive though, i see it all the time. it confuses me.
