every time I head head out to the car and my wife says, just a moment, I’ll be right out. It’s never just one moment and she doesn’t come right out. I’m assuming this is the principal reason horns are standard issue on cars and trains (trains board female passengers, too).

Speaking of honking (no, not a goose story)
Vanderbilt University's stadium has a big ship horn that they blow when the football team scores a touchdown. Our house in Nashville was walking distance from campus (my wife worked there), and so we could hear it really clearly - it was VERY loud. I assume you could easily hear it downtown, and in a lot of the burbs. After we moved to DC, we remember watching a night game on TV, and Vandy's team scored, and they blew the horn in the stadium - and it got stuck and kept blowing!! It probably kept blowing for at least 10 minutes. Probably a lot of annoyed folks in Nashville that evening.

Several times a week probably.
I’m pretty conservative in using it, only as a last result. However IF YOURE SWERVING INTO MY LANE ABOUT TO HIT ME yes I will lay on that fucker for about 15 seconds straight. How some of you get by with never using it is beyond me unless you live somewhere with zero traffic. I’d be hit several times a month if I didn’t use it. Also—most places in Texas you can turn right on a red light unless there is a sign saying you can’t. If you have your right turn blinker on, there is no oncoming traffic, and you refuse to turn right, I’ll tap my horn. If you flip me off and continue to sit there like a moron, I will lay on the horn for as long as it takes for you to move your ass. |

Usually I'm beeping at folks I know. It doesn't make any sense to use the horn as a warning device because the kind of driver that needs a heads up around here is so loaded up on opiates they wouldn't recognize the sound anyway. I'm going to go with a full 1/3 of the population of Southern Ohio is totally zonked out on any given day.
A quick "beep beep" around these parts is like saying "howdy neighbor". Except for that asshole I know who works for the railroad who delights in blasting the living shit out of his horn every time he runs past my house. You know who you are. I'd ask you to stop but that would only acknowledge that his bad behavior is getting noticed. Some day I will have my revenge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Too often. Mainly people sitting at green lights in front of me, glued to their God damn phone. The other thing is, to get to work, I have to make a right turn going west and turning north, at a continuous flow intersection. East West traffic gets ONE green light. North south traffic is heavy as hell at that time of the morning, so turning right on a red light is almost impossible. Left and right turners are supposed to turn at the same time on green. A thing happens so regularly at this intersection that I have to use my horn constantly. Sometimes I lay on it, if the fucker in front of me just won't go. What happens is, a lot of people sit at the green light and DONT turn, because they're afraid of the left turners swinging wide. Some of them do. You have to time your right turn, so that the left turner into the middle lane can clearly see you, and would be on your rear quarter panel once you both turn. Anyway, it drives me nucking futs having these ignorant drivers who don't know what a damn green light means wasting my time.

Rarely. If you're trying to back into my car in a parking lot, I'll use it. If you sit through a whole traffic light cycle on your phone, I might use it then. Would rather use a "love tap", but it's frowned upon these days.

Now that I'm in Miami, several times a day. It's unreal. I HAVE learned to immediately honk at NY,NJ and Canadian plates. ETA also honk at cars with Miami Heat plates or "I am MDC" stickers |

I use it more during "season" down here is SFL. Damn snowbirds... if they can't figure out which way they want to go, they just stop in the middle of the road.
And the red light phone people 
Sometimes if someone around us honks their horn we will too. Sometimes it starts multiple people honking. The people not honking look confused.

Horn goes off on remote start and when I lock it up.
Other than that it doesn't get used much, I've learned that dumb shits continue being what they are with or without the use of the horn. Don't need the stress, live and let live. I try to stay vigilant when in a vehicle because you're enclosed in it. |

Horns really should be a trigger button not at the center of the wheel, or maybe a foot button on automatic cars.
Generally I use a quick beep if someone is not moving at a light or something but rarely a long blast if they are doing asshole/dangerous stuff. The thing is, the LAST FUCKING PLACE I want a hand is on the horn if my airbag goes off so for evasive maneuvers it's often a "fuck you buddy" after the event rather than to prevent the event. That is the one thing my old Mercury Tracer had right, a little thumb button for it that kept the hands on and in full control of the wheel. |

I am generally amazed at how little people in DC and NoVA use their horns. I think it's because the traffic is SO terrible, that everyone's will has been broken, and they have resigned themselves to the "oh well, I'll get there when I get there" mindset . People honk a LOT more in all of the other places I have lived and regularly drive. (Which include St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville and Orlando/Space Coast). |
