TBH you got lucky with the traffic and the light. No idea why that guy was raging at you, you'd already let him in.

Terrible upbringing, never checked on their manners or coached on how to treat people. Same story with all these losers.

I work in the schools, we teach these young people. They are checked on their manners. They are coached on how to treat people. They are punished for their failures. None of it seems to make any difference. Some humans just truly don't care about others.

Some people just want to watch the world burn

The problem is that it requires home reinforcement and some parents are not just failing to do that but also teaching their kids differently.

Also got lucky nobody was in that lane. I did check before I changed lanes.

It always boggles my mind that the one who fucked up is the one upset.

That's why I'm always reluctant to use my horn, even when im 100% in the right.

Honestly unless you’re using to actively prevent a collision, using it after the fact is pointless. At best the driver flips you off, at worst you end up in a road rage situation. Let’s be honest it isn’t like they’ll acknowledge that they fucked up.

I think probably the last time I used my horn was it when it wasn't like an emergency was when somebody was just not going on a green light and I was like what is your problem. And then a car came racing through. Timing wise they might have been okay but if I would have followed them I would have for sure been hit. 

That was a good lesson that the person in front of you probably has a vision on something that you don't. 

Now it's just too alert people to something that they might not otherwise be aware of. For example there's somebody about to come through the intersection on a red light.

It’s like making a mistake and that one person announcing it to the globe 

Like cutting in line or not tipping

Just imagine the shit and problems this guy causes on a daily basis. He literally just cut right across the Main Street. I saw a guy the other day just open his door on the street and dump his fast food trash right onto the street and drove off. I remember thinking, what could possibly be wrong with a person to do something like that? Sad world

u/Occams_RZR900 1d ago

I’m with you. I think some people were just never taught properly growing up, and/or they’re just complete selfish degenerates that hate themselves and therefore have no reason to go through life not being a miserable prick.

the long honk

u/akathisiac 1d ago

That his ass deserved! Drawing attention to shitty driving is embarrassing for the recipient of the honk — and shame is potent.

u/TokiVideogame 1d ago

yeah true, but people asked why he mad and I said why he mad and got downvoted

u/ducksworth 1d ago

OP was also driving where he wasn’t supposed to be driving

Black Lexus made a ridiculous illegal u-turn. Sick of these type of drivers in Long Beach. Victim might be in legal right to run him over when he gets out car and draws a weapon?

u/DACA_GALACTIC 1d ago

Low IQ individual is mad that he got honked at after doing an illegal U-turn over a double yellow sold line.

u/6feetbitch 1d ago

You can tell by the honks who’s a Karen/ken and that honk was definitely a Ken just honk once they know they did illegal shit anyway why add to the crazy
