text: Why do people here have a problem with honking while driving? I grew up here... I honk if people are sitting at a green light or stopping in the middle of the road because they are lost. (Pull over and figure out where you are going.) Every so often when I discover I was not paying attention and the light turned green and no one honked I wonder why, and would have appreciated a little notification... It happens. It's not a "fuck you," it's just to say "hey, earth to driver, let's get going."
