Scenario: See this diagram.
Kia in front of me. Green arrow for both us and opposing directions, Kia didn’t move at all and cars across already started turning. I gave my horn a light tap, wasn’t even for a second, it wasn’t a blast or anything, like a nudge or tap on the shoulder.
Kia decides to give me the finger, and right after the turn brake check me. Luckily I was driving like a granny and just swerved into the other lane and there were no other cars.
What. The. Fuck.
Can’t wait to get my Sly and Mineral Gray back, I swear it’s the colour.

Maybe it’s a good thing my M3 is gray?

I wouldn’t mind that super-dark teal-ish blue they have on the regular cars either. Forgot what that colour is called, I just saw a Gran Coupe in that colour today.

Estoril Blue?

No, it’s teal-greenish, almost black.

It baffles me why people instantly think that horns directed at them were just for the sake of being rude and impatient. Does it never cross their minds that maybe it’s an appropriate response to something they did?

Actually it’s Midnight Blue, I think.

I was about to ask if it was this color, but then you said it looked almost black. So I knew it wasn’t this.
That midnight blue is a sharp color. BMW does some really nice blues, at times I wish one of mine was blue.

That’s why the world is going down the drain - people think that any nice reminder or differing opinion is a full-blown personal attack and react as if it really was.

Maybe when you lightly tap the horn they don’t respect you. Try a full on blast next time. No need for politeness with some douche not paying attention to driving

Well thinking back I had a feeling the brake check could’ve turned into road rage, but luckily they didn’t follow me into the mall or anything.
Last thing I need was get a key mark that I had to pay and fix, so de-escalation was the route to go.

Letting douches act douchey just makes more douches

Wow that would piss me off to no end. I would not have even been mad while waiting at the green light. I would have done the same with a light horn tap. Sometimes you just miss the light change, it happens. A gentle horn reminder is appropriate. But that guy getting pissed off about it is a total fucking retard. That would send my rage meter to 9000. Then the brake check would activate mad max mode where I dont care about anything other than the destruction of that guy and his family and generations to come. Of course thats all in my head and in reality I would have done exactly as you did and angrily stare the guy down in a passive agressive way.

I once tapped the horn for someone not moving in front of me on a green light.
They moved, but they must have laughed at the ridiculous sound of my Pajero’s horn. I need a train horn.
