Driving in Seattle today in the middle lane, and someone in a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the right lane almost smashed into me, because they didn’t notice the parked cars in the right lane.

Parked cars on the street during certain times of the day is normal here, and drivers should be paying attention anyway.

In response to him trying to put 2 vehicles in the same place at the same time, I honked. For those of you not from the PNW, you should know that people almost never honk here. Apparently my honk set off this guy’s murder mode and he almost crashed into 3 other cars to make sure he could tailgate me for the next mile of dense traffic (Mercer street, for the locals).

I eventually put some space between us, but the guy was seriously aggressive. I wish him the worst.

It appears that this driver’s decision making skills were already compromised when he didn’t pay attention to the parked cars.

I hope that driver gets whatever he needs to put his skills back on track.

It helps a lot if you start taking satisfaction in the knowledge that anyone who freaks the fuck out like that has a miserable life.

He may already be suffering a nasty case of G on orrhe a, that’s why he’s so uppity.

He was expecting a typical PNW passive aggressive response and got an actual response.

Pretty sure the prescribed response is to brake check him and then flip the bird as you speed off.

This shit is why I will install a train horn hooked up to an air compressor in the trunk. Someone screws up this bad, he's getting put on literal full blast.

It really is amusing how the passive -aggressive soulless cloned drones around here lose their shit when honked at. It just eggs me on, and MBs typically have loud horns.

yeah - completely agree ... that whole “no honking” thing in Seattle is BS. It’s like we are polite until you break the unwritten no honking law. If you are pulling out into me I’m going to f’n honk at you to wake you up . People make mistakes, its human, fine - I’m still going to make you aware you aren’t f’n paying attention. I honk at both drivers and peds several times a week going down 2nd ave only because folks are not watching what they are doing. I had some lady looking at her phone with headphones in walk off the curb right infront of me last week - she flips me off as I honk and brake even though had I not been paying attention she’d be dead or worse.

Speeding off is not an option in Seattle traffic.

My Subaru has a hilariously weak horn, so I'm not sure why he was so riled up.

Tempting, but I'm afraid I would abuse my powers.

I can't remember honking at any pedestrians, but I did have someone who was crossing during the don't walk signal slap my car as I pulled out. I saw them coming and was in no way a danger to them, but the slap pissed me off and I broke one of my rules by lowering my window and politely informing them of what they should do to themselves since the sign clearly said DO NOT WALK.

Some people don’t like their idiocy pointed out.

The fintail has a louder horn than most or all new cars, it has irked people before.  But I’ll only honk if one is being dumb/distracted.

OMG if confronted you could claim the previous owner installed that button and you didn't know what it was! "I'm sorry officer, I didn't realize it was a super loud horn, I didn't hear anything!" Then proceed to just keep blasting away at it

Skills were likely never there to begin with.

If I lived there I would have angry mobs chasing me everywhere I go. I think I use my horn at least once per trip here in Chicago.

In NJ if you wait more than 2 blinks at green you will most certainly get at least one honk. Many times it’s not even the person behind you but 2-3 back. People also love to make lefts from opposing traffic as the lights turn orange then red. So you have to balance waiting long enough to make sure there isn’t someone turning left and moving forward enough not to be honked at.
