    Hell yeah I do it when I see people do the arm pump too f*** it. I love doing it the f*** with golfers on the golf course though right off the highway when they're going to do the swing I just honk honk LOL. Thats being an azzhle i know. But shoe it's on our truck it shouldn't be illegal and when I'm in traffic I pull that s*** to and everybody should because when I started honking the s*** out of my horn everybody started moving and I was really surprised and I was like well I'm not going to stop now you were at a dead stop traffic I started pulling that s*** and guess what nobody wanted to get in front of me nobody was cutting me off everyone wanted to get away from me and I was just cruising through the traffic it was great was epic have nobody wanted to be in front of me they were moving all over the place letting me come right up I was honking their horn probably 60 times

    I never blow the horn to people in cars, only time i'll do it is if some kids are just walking down the street and i'm in slow moving traffic and they see you and do the horn signal. Or i'll blow the car horn in truck instead should see the reaction to that when their expecting the loud air horn.

    It doesn’t happen as much as it used too, but I honk when they do the arm pump gesture. Mostly when they drive by, but also sometimes when they are standing on the sidewalk. We’re not supposed to do it but, if it’s safe I do it.

    I’m saying, sometimes you gotta be loud. I don’t really care about being polite in rush hour traffic downtown. I go into obnoxious mode. Jakes on stage 3, horn when needed and shifting way up there.

    Suddenly the Lyft driver quits swerving into my lane and the bikers stay away. If everyone wants to drive like a savage I will too.

    I absolutely do. Every time and really don’t give a good #### if it bothers anyone else. I’m not here to cater to the feelings of a few morons.

    Had my first one this morning just after I left the terminal. Surprising because seems most kids have their faces in electronics the days.
