i8hibsh Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have a theory............the vast majority of motorists that use theirs are women and wee men. Seriously everytime I see soemone flexing their horn muslces in a car it is some menstruating bint who hates men or some wee bloke who has a serious case of wee man syndrome. Am I right in my observations or is it just me? I reckon I have actually only ever once tooted my car horn and even then I can't actually remember what for.

Therapist Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Am I right in my observations or is it just me? You're right 8 - as usual. I am the most manly of men and I can't remember ever using the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrahim Tall Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 My theory is that the vast majority of people that use their horns are women and wee men. It's not that much of a theory when the majority of drivers probably fall into those categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seats Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It's interesting, having spent considerable time abroad, that people here have a much more relaxed attitude to using their horn. In the UK, if someone "toots" at you it is generally felt that you must have done something quite major and someone is angry. Here, it is used as a gentle reminder and is a much less aggressive experience than in the UK. In which case, your theory does not apply here.

Everyone seems so horn happy. Throw in that incessant moped engine noise and it makes your ears bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest King Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I used mine yesterday to put the wind up a drunk, kilt wearing rugby fan for wandering of the pavement and out infront of me. He needed a fright. Cocky pedestrians thinking that they have the right to stop traffic bothers me. People that use horns on a daily basis are quite gay though.

The Brow Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Generally if im in a car, im getting a lift. I like to beep the horn at young school girls before ducking down. Leaving the driver to take the filthy looks flung their way...works especially well if the driver is your dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Spackler Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I thought this was going to be a Derek and Clive thread. Sadly not. I'm not going to put a direct link up because the video has quite a lot of swearing in it. But if you haven't heard of Derek and Clive go to youtube and search for "Derek and Clive Get the Horn". Watch the other Derek and Clive sketches too. Funny as anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you give them ten seconds that is a fine use. I hate drivers who as soon as it turns green and the driver (usually five behind) toots the horn after 3 milliseconds of it turning green.
