Addicted to Obsession

It really stinks that people now assume that a car horn means "F-you!" I was driving today when someone cut across my lane and made me slam on my brakes to avoid hitting her. I honked the horn to let her know she needs to watch where she's driving, and lo and behold, the passenger turns and flips me the bird!

Now, taking into consideration the fact that if I were, say, drunk and slow to respond, I would have hit the passenger. Same for if my brakes failed or I just wasn't paying attention. I find it outrageous that the passenger would give me the finger for pretty much saving her life! I think she should have given her friend, the driver, the finger.

I honestly think that people in their cars need to CALM DOWN and really think about what's happening around them. I honked because it might give the driver a reminder to check next time before cutting across lanes, not to say, "F-You, [insert offensive term here]!" I was angry that I had to adjust my driving because she was stupid, but I wasn't honking out of anger.

...That being said, I really hope the passenger drives her own car into a tree.* Honk.

*Oh, calm down. A sapling, then. Geez.
