Blow It Out Your Ass

I love the car horn. I don't get road rage, but I am always on the horn so that stupid fucks talking on phones, watching dvds, applying makeup, and doing all the other shit they should not be doing don't hit into me. I also hold down the horn when it takes someone 15 minutes to make a right turn in front of me.

One morning back in 2001, I think it was November because it was cold outside, I was on my way to work. Along the way, some douche nozzle cuts me off, so I hold down the horn. When I let go of the horn, the fucker kept blowing. I was like oh shit, what do I do now? So I pull off on the shoulder and try to remedy the situation. Nothing I did worked except when I shut the car off. I had quite a dilemma, I was only about 3 miles from my house and I had another car to take to work, but how do I drive 3 miles in morning rush hour traffic with a wailing horn. Well, I did it, but I pissed off about 100 people.

The first light I get to, people are all waving their hands in the air, looking in their rear view mirrors thinking I am honking at them like I expect them to run a red light. I then pass a school bus where all the kids had their faces pressed against the window to see what the fuck my problem was. I then come to the residential area near my house. It's 7:15am and people hear a fuckin' madman coming up the street. Parents at bus stops waiting for school buses are waving their fists at me, people ar looking out their windows, it was humiliating. As I pull around the block to my house, I shut the ignition off and coast to my house, where I park it, switch cars, and race to work. Definitely a morning to remember. I am lucky nobody shot at me!

I only honk when it's warranted, when people act like jerk offs!!!

That was funny. I work on an AF base and coming in one day my horn decided to just go off by itself - I swear. No honking at anyone, it was a faulty fuse on my new car. Anyway, the line to get on base was it's usual long self and everyone was pissed 'cause they thought I was honking at 'em. When I got to the guard who was eye-balling me, I explained that there must be a short and then he lightened up. I pissed off alot of people that day by the time I got it to the shop and they fixed it.

I think Charlie and Blue are filming a porn while we all make comments about honking the horn...

Just teasing kids, you crack me up!

Charlie Mc said...

Blue is great! I'd make a porn with her anytime!! hahahaha

Heather you are too comical!!!!

rachwell, glad you get a chuckle from stopping here! Are you sure the horn in your case wasn't you just being a punk? I could see that! haha

Vixen said...

At least you know where your horn is ;-)

I've rented cars before, or driven someone else's car and not known where the hell their horn is...some have buttons, some are in the middle even with an airbag. I can't tell you how many times I just hit the damn steering wheel trying to find the freakin' horn! I'm sure you would love to honk at me driving to work, putting my makeup on, jamming to loud music, reading my emails on my blackberry...LOL

Charlie Mc said...

Diane, I'd let it slide with you! :) exceptions to every rule!

Lara said...

LOL "douche nozzle"????

What a crappy morning!

Charlie Mc said...

yeah AMG, douche bag is too nice and too common, the nozzle is dirtier and more fitting for some people!!!

Hillarious Charlie! It reminded me of a few funny stories. Since living in south FL, I now know to hit the horn before the gas. Hope it does not happen here, because these people will get me good for real.

Thank you so much for your sweet message this a.m. Big TIME!!

Molly said...

that is quite the conundrum! Nice that it was early in the morning so you could piss off the whole neighborhood. I am very anti-horns myself other than beeping them when friends walk in front of the car just to see them give a startled jump.

Marie said...

That's hilarious! Yes, you are lucky you did *not* get shot by some pissed off driver thinking "WTF?!"

Kristi said...

DOUCHE NOZZLE!!!!!

Thats damn funny! Hope you don't mind, but I'll need to use that!

I am a big horn user myself. Luckily I've never had such incident.

Haaa, I actually have a similar story. I was a "cart girl" for a big Golf Course. Ya know, I carried the food and beer. We have a small horn on the cart to let golfers know we are around. Well, I hit the horn and it got stuck. And you know how golfers are... I had to step on the gas and get out of there...I went across the green (where your not suppose to go) just to get back to the lot. Golfers were pissed as I skirted all the way back across the grass with the horn blaring. It was horrible. I even got a few golf balls thrown at me.

Steph, I cannot believe that happened to someone else! I was working a tourney and have never been so embarrassed! At least I was fairly close to the clubhouse and no one hurled golf balls at me.

C-Mac, I found your blog the other day and wanted to tell you that I've really enjoyed your thoughtful, and frequently hilarious posts.

Steph said...

kcterrilynn, hilarious!

ya, those guys were dicks throwing the balls. It's not like I did it on purpose. It was bad.
