I think I’m a pretty good, conscientious driver. I don’t cut people off; I look both ways; I check my mirrors, et cetera. So, whenever a stupid radio ad or traffic report comes on the radio, complete with honking horns and sirens, I shouldn’t get startled and assume someone’s beeping at me.

But I do.

It freaks me the eff out and I hate it. I wonder if any accidents/road rage incidents have been set off by honking horns on the radio… So please for the love of jeebus, knock it off—it’s unnecessary! —Touchy

  1. do like i do o.p., just don’t turn the fucking noise box on. every car i have had in the last 25 years or so, has never, ever had the stereo turned on once, by anyone. i hate the distraction, and lately the fucking noist that passes for music.

  2. Agreed! And also the F-ing losers on the button in the roundabout holding signs and whatnot trying to get peoples attention. There’s no obstructions on that button for a reason.

  3. I find great comfort in knowing that I am not the only one who gets startled by this. Thanks OP.
