“I was in Paris for two weeks. I just got home. I ate so many croissants.” Where did the person eat the croissants? At home?

Dude insisted that’s what I said, I pointed out that it wasn’t, they dug in, and here we are. Technically right is still right, especially when someone’s calling you on technicalities.

Oh apologies, you aren’t the same guy.

Nowhere did I ever say that Iaid on the horn at the light. I reflected on how long I was on the horn, and the description of that came later as I was describing where I was at the light.

But to say “he pushed the horn when he was at the light” is reading something into the account that isn’t necessarily there.

(And indeed I did not do that, because that would be silly and counterproductive to what horns are for.)

Police don’t exist to improve quality of life or create an inclusive space. They exist to protect property and wealth. That isn’t being threatened by crazy drivers mowing down pedestrians.

If a wealthy, prominent business owner/donor got hit by a car the mayor would be out stopping red light runners that afternoon.

I mean to be fair, there is something wrong/something happening: there’s a maniac weaving through traffic at a high rate of speed with zero regard for anyone else. I want people to be aware of that. It’s extremely unsafe.

I’ve started laying on the horn whenever someone does insane shit near me on the road. Some idiot passed me on the right in a dual active construction/school zone doing like 45, then got two more lanes over, only to get stopped behind another car at a red, so I pulled up a car length’s ahead of him at the light. 🤔

Just pointlessly aggro driving. I horned that dude for like 5 solid seconds. It’s a small thing, but I feel like if more people shamed the reckless drivers, they might think twice about it.

And it makes me feel better.

I’ll probably get shot for it.

Same thing happened to me today. Red light, chilling, dude in a kitted out Mustang with paper MD plates honks, revs, then swerved around me to run and turn right on red… and I immediately ended up behind him at the next light.

It would be so laughable how absolutely meaningless their Mad Max high speed maneuvers were, if they didn’t kill/injure people on a very regular basis.
