Road Rage

I’ve been told I get a little heated when I drive. I curse a lot, sometimes I slam my hand on the steering wheel, and other times I’ll just retaliate with my driving (if they tailgate me I slow down immediately, and speed up only to prevent them from getting overtaking me). What I rarely do though is honk.

It’s not something I’m used to. I’ve honked a woman once and that was because she made a right turn as I was midway through the intersection. Caused me to slam on my brakes and so I honked her.

Today, was my second honk ever. Same scenario too! Go figure. I just picked up Courey and was crossing Finch on Sandhurst when a driver made a right as I was midway through the intersection. It was raining too so I had to slow the fuck down quickly and so I let out a honk. A long honk. I must have pressed that thing down for a good 5 seconds. The first 3 was just pure animosity, but the next two seconds we started laughing pretty hard. It felt damn good.

Seriously, try it sometime. I should honk more often.
