Honking Horn

So we're on the way to church today and I was patiently waiting for a car in front of me to turn but he just sat there on green so I tried to give him a polite "the light is green" tap on the horn.  I hit the horn and I couldn't get it off.  Poor guy in front me!  So much for a friendly tap on the horn.
 
So our horn is blaring and I'm trying to drive while getting our horn to stop.  So I turn into a gas station, horn blaring, and everybody is looking at us like "what's your problem."  I finally got the horn to stop and we got on the highway and it started again.  We're like these raging lunatics on the road.  "Hey, get out of my lane."  "Hey, get off the highway."  "Hey, this road belongs to me."  The horn just kept coming on inadvertantly and I'd pound my fist on it.  I can only imagine what people thought of us.    
 
I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank thrifty car rental for an unforgettable ride!

I myself had a great experience with Thrifty in Costa Rica. We rented a car there for a week, and only paid $120! The little 4-cylinder Toyota "Yaris" was all the car we needed to take us over the continental divide. We even drove from the Pacific to the Atlantic in a single day.

in most other places, the polite "the light is green" horn tap is usually taken as being impolite. hey, but DC is a different story.
