Another reason why cars suck
I swear to God, I’m going to find the technology to silence and severely punish those who have car alarms and who use their horns in non-emergency situations. HATE THOSE TO DEATH.
It’s nice to be able to walk to everything, but living in the city has been grating on my nerves with all of the car horns. Car alarms go off so many times everyday and just drone oooooon. And apparently blowing your horn is the new sigh of displeasure. Why just roll your eyes or mutter a curse when you can HOOOOOONK and let an entire mile radius know that you’re mildly put out?
I Googled this shit, of course, and learned the following;
car alarms do not work
no one likes hearing car alarms
silent car alarms exist where the owner is “paged” instead
some cities are working on banning car alarms
there is no death ray yet for stopping car alarms and reaming the owners
This last point is what troubles me the most. Acting completely contrary to reason is something that I have finally come to expect of my fellow man. Not having a handheld device that extracts justice is not. There are itty bitty portable music machines, police sticks that make people vomit, convulse, or pass out, and ninja TV remotes. WHERE is my car alarm/horn killer? Where is my jerk-seeking missile of retribution? So lame.
I can feel it; someday soon I will be walking along when a driver selfishly plays the “honk at you continually to prove my moot point” game (which happens every. single. day. in my hood) and I will unleash the fury on them. Reach in the drivers window and POW! style. *twitch*
In conclusion, no one is trying to steal your damn car and everyone other than the driver of the car in front of you does not “deserve” to hear your horn. Ride a bike, ass.
And happy birthday, Sean. I hope you’re having fun. Miss you terribly.
