I thought about the horn while waiting for a big black SUV to move after the red light turned green.

Then, I noticed that the license plate was tax exempt ... suddenly, it crossed the intersection, then 4 lanes of traffic and turned on the next block. I checked the rearview mirror a couple of times as I continued. It seemed a little extreme if he/she was upset because I rolled up behind the bumper and had circled to come up behind me.

Everyone was soon 10mph above the speed limit and I poopsy doodled off the arterial on a shortcut.

ditto :yuckyuck Bee did you let him know ?

You bet I did. I also let him know about what I thought of his condescending attitude towards me, evidenced by stating, "Tell your husband you need new tires on this thing."

Now, I didn't have a husband, but if I did, I certainly don't need a man to tell me I need new tires! :smack Single mom raising three boys, no child support...let's see, if I had had money for new tires, I think I'd have put some on already. I told him that I would have had the money to do so if I hadn't had to pay that ticket. :rolleyes:

He apologized profusely for his attitude and his sexist statement. Something about a 16 gauge needle in the hands of an angry woman will humble a fella.

I didn't hurt him, as I take pride in doing a proper, painless stick, but I sure made him suffer awhile THINKING I would hurt him. :D

Well... I did beep my horn at a police car once. I had just been following an apparently impaired driver, and had to stop at a light. The cruiser was on the other side of the intersection. He gave me a dirty look when I beeped; but I pantomimed tipping a drink, and pointed to the car which had just passed through. He looked back, turned on his lights, and turned around in pursuit. The vehicle was pulled over a couple blocks later.
