and got someone angry?

I was buying ice at a gas station and was leaving the store when some guy walked in front of my car and tried to hurry up. I accidently honked the horn while reversing and he kind of got angry and flip me off.
 
Nope. For some crazy reason the people who owned my car before me disconnected the wires to the horn. That makes it kind of impossible to honk........ even when they deserve it.
 
One time I spit out the window....and hit MY window!

And another time, I had my window half-way up(or half-way down) and I threw an apple out of it, but the apple hit the window, and splattered everywhere. I'm not the brightest egg in the carton 🙂

<< No, but I have spit out the window and accidentally hit someone. >>

Hmm. Kinda funny story. When I was about ten years old I was driving in my grandfathers car with my brothers making faces and stuff at people driving next to us. I decided it would be funny to spit at a beautiful van that happened to be passing us, and as I did the guy happened to look directly at me while the clam was leaving my mouth. Well, he cut us off and got out and walked up to my grandfathers window and told him to get me out of the car so he could smack me. My grandfather wouldn't open his window, being he was 70 at the time and was not about to try and fight a man around 40 years younger than he was, so what does my grandfather do? He told the guy to go F@CK himself and ran over his leg/foot. We took the next left and the guy decided not to follow us. If he did I believe gramps may have shot him, as he had a gun in the trunk.

My grandfather wasn't even mad at me, he was laughing about it with me and patting me on the head saying that what I did was definitely wrong, but that the guy in the van was nuts and deserved for something like that to happen to him every day of his life.

I miss pop, he died 6 months ago. He was a cool grandfather, treated my brothers and myself like one of his equals and I always respected him for that, and never put him in a position like that one again, as that was wrong of me to do to him.
 
When I first got my current car the screws holding the turn signal, wiper lever assembly in the steering colum came loose and it would beep on its own when turning.

Actually, you're supposed to honk twice before going into reverse. Maybe the guy is just a dick

LMAO, what a cool grandfather! i hope my son gets similar guidance from his!
 
I do every couple of months when parking or whatever.

Speaking of spitting I used to get hangovers on family trips to england and i'd puke as we drove down the freeway. This was a common thing. I learn slowly 🙁 Anyway I had my head out one day doing 60-70 down the road in england and let lose onto a bmw that was following us and the guy had to turn on his windshield wiper. LOL! It was not so funny at the time becuase i felt sick.

Damn. that's just nasty. :disgust: Funny, but still nasty.
 
A friend and I had attended a big July 4th fireworks show and was leaving at the end, got stuck in the traffic jam. While we were sitting there, I wanted to adjust my tilt steering wheel, which had recently been repaired and was rather tight. I accidentally pushed the horn, two quick successive honks, and I saw several people around me look at me as if I were an idiot. I quickly motioned as if I were slapping my passenger's hand away from the steering wheel, hoping they would think it was him and not me. haha!
 
hehehe
We do a walk around our rigs before we start our shift to make sure all the lights, strobes, indicator lights, etc work. The person driving first sits in the cab and goes through turning them all on and off, every so often we accidentaly hit the sirens. That, is funny. Nothing like a full siren going off when you are standing 5' in front of it.

Should have gotten out and beaten his ass.
 
"...happens all the time, I just smile and wave at them like I know them!!!"

Happens all the time, I just give them the finger while I'm at it!!! 😛
 
The little town I live in put in a unnecessary honking ordnamce at the request of the police chief, what a joke, just another way to get your money.
Bleep
 
the horn is supposed to be used as a warning, for saftey purposes. but it is NEVER used for that. if you honk at someone where i live they honk right back, and flip ya the bird. you should never honk at someone unless your willing to fight, its basicly like screaming F*** you to someone. at least thats the way its seen where i live.
 
Yeah a couple of times. It's embarassing. 😱

I feel bad too, so I always wave and say sorry. Because sometimes its at a red light and it makes it seem like I'm telling them to go or something. =P

I very rarely honk even when they deserve it.
 
Yeah, but I honk my horn probably 1% of the time I am in my car everyday. I feel that the other drivers need to pay more attention.
 
Being an auto technician I have this happen a lot.. and some peeps have them wired in all kinds of ways. The worst case I had was an Ambulance that had the sirens wired to the horn. We have to honk to get in the shop, and when I did the sirens started wailing..believe me it is VERY LOUD inside a workshop with those sirens wailing. I flipped every damned switch on the blasted thing and they would not stop until I shut the vehicle down.
