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

I agree with this bitch.
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.
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.
I agree with this Bitch as well–drives me effing nuts…
Yeah those car horns are almost as bad as the same 10 bubblegum pop songs they repeat all day.
I find great comfort in knowing that I am not the only one who gets startled by this. Thanks OP.
Bubblegum pop songs with sirens or repeating notes that sound like sirens do me in too, OB.
Does Z103 have traffic reports?
