Re: What pisses you off? - Chapter 7
what countenance, pray tell, is the kind that "looks not from here"?
if a driver blocks the intersection, clearly, s/he was the first to be impatient, self-centered, and of the thought that s/he is the only one on the road. if you look at my initial post and read it carefully and with comprehension, i name a particular location, where if you're blocking the intersection, you're doing so for more than one lane of traffic. additionally, maat this intersection, many people rush the light or run it to get on the other side of the line.
driving with aloha includes not inconveniencing other drivers. so, in effect, by honking, i am actually spreading aloha not only by reminding the intersection driver of his/her lack of aloha, but also by attempting to clear the way for the other inconvenienced drivers behind me, who have, as i said, in turn shared their own aloha with me by applauding (which i saw once when i happened to glance in my rearview mirror).
i'm not perfect--i, too, have suddenly found myself blocking an intersection. but i've gotten out of the way very quickly. if you find yourself "accidentally" blocking the intersection, it's very rare that you can't move into another lane of traffic going the same direction you are (just not in the lane you prefer to be in) so that you are no longer blocking the intersection. if if have time to drive up to you when you're blocking an intersection, then you've not taken the time to move out of the way, which is an option for you many more times than not.
honking has no place in hawaii? then how come horns are a requirement in order to get your hawaii safety check?
while it may be obnoxious, my honking is not wanton. my honking is not arbitrary. my honking is judicious. my honking is educational. and my honking is legal. blocking the intersection is not.
by the way, if you're blocking the intersection and i drive up to you, of course there is no way i can see your license plate.
think about that one for a minute.
take longer if you need.
i'll add here another pet peeve--people who want to correct me about my pet peeve. especially if my pet peeve is about something that is clearly wrong in the first place! wasn't this a thread about pet peeves, where we were invited to post our, duh, pet peeves?
i am of the belief that in a thread like this specific one, true aloha spirit allows someone to post their pet peeve without having to suffer being told to go back to CONUS for it.
so...aloha spit? right back atcha, babe. right back at cha.
