Scene 1: The signal is red. The digital counter says there are 96 seconds to go before the lights change. A taxi guy some three vehicles deep is honking.
My reaction: To go up to the obviously blind driver, shake him by the shoulder and scream "why why why???" Ummm... no, actually, I only think I should do that, don’t ever do it.
Scene 2: It’s a oneway. Traffic at snail’s pace. Everyone headed in the same direction. A moron in an SUV with horns blaring and lights flashing trying to nudge you out of the way. And you stuck with nowhere to move, no space to give way.
My reaction: To march up to the chap (the traffic is anyway nearly at a standstill), drag out the driver, point out the lack of space and scream "where the hell do you want to go???" Again, that is only what I should be doing, not what I do.
Someone please explain to me -- why do people honk like this? It can’t always be an emergency and a case of life and death. Also, can someone please invent a vehicle armour that will reflect all the sound waves produced by a horn back to the source? At least then the horn happy buggers will realise what they are doing.

This is something even I've never understood. But I have a take on this which will soon appear on my blog. Watch out.
And BTW welcome aboard :-)
