WTF is up with you guys and your horns? Seriously. Its like a honking disease. I was staying at my sister's place downtown and this guy runs out of gas just before the intersection (dumbarse yes). Once you stop for more than a 1/10th of a second the horns start blaring. So the guy puts his hazards on and goes and gets gas. EVERYONE honks at the car with the flashers on weather its in their lane or not - its like some sort of sick sport. So the guy gets back while people honk at the empty car. There are three lanes and traffic is light and really he's not holding traffic up at all. He's filling his car up - you know fixing the problem and people are still honking. It gets to a point where honking doesn't mean anything. Its like writing every single sentance with an exclamation mark.

So... what's the deal? Am I missing something here? I've been to every major Canadian city multiple multiple times and there is no comparison anywhere - even the majority of the US citys are mild in comparision. Enlighten me.
