Why I hate New York - part 1
On my way back from Pennslyvania today, I decided to take a different route than I did to get there. Instead of taking I-287 from I-80, I took I-80 to I-95, this way I could travel through New York City, which I haven't done since I lived on Long Island.
Yet, in the hour that I was stuck in traffic from the point in time I hit the city until Exit 8A, I realized how much I absolutely hated that area. And how many things about that place that I truly do not miss. Such as car horns.
Now I realize that the horn has a practical use. Maybe someone didn't notice that you were there because of a blind spot. Maybe you are trying to get an animal off the road. Maybe you are just saying hello to someone going the other way. But it's like people in New York have a mental condition that causes them to constantly hit the horn when behind the wheel.
I wonder if they realize that laying on the horn because of three car accidents (probably caused by some impatient bastard that was laying on the horn while trying to force his way through traffic) does not cause the cars to magically levitate and cause a path to appear. if no one can move, the cars can't move out of the way for your impatient ass.
There is no need to be on the horn every five seconds. It's like these people can't go a whole ten seconds without doing something obnoxious. Or to call attention to the fact that they are obnoxious. I think that if they were to ever rig the car horn to a bomb that would blow up the driver pressing the horn, NYC would be minus it's driving population in less than three hours. Actually, this doesn't sound like a bad idea....
I am hoping that whoever invented the car horn is stuck for the entirety of their afterlife in a traffic jam in NYC. It's enough to make one want to drive sharp objects into one's ear canal.
