We don’t honk because we’re angry. We honk because the car in front of us is either a tourist doing 15 mph looking for the beach… or a retiree who forgot the light turned green five minutes ago.
If you can survive random afternoon thunderstorms that appear out of nowhere, traffic that doubles during tourist season, and an alligator casually crossing the road like it owns the neighborhood, you’re one of us.
And if you can handle someone starting an argument at a gas station about Florida vs Florida State while a guy in flip-flops is buying bait and a Monster energy drink?
Congratulations.
You’re officially a Floridian.

I grew up in Florida before New York, New Jersey, and the Satan worshipers from South of the Border infected the population with political correctness, and I can tell you, honking your horn back then could get you shot at unless you had a damn good reason.to do it. Not kidding.
ReplyDeleteYour list of excuses just makes me glad I no longer live in that shit hole.
Honking will get you killed in some places.
ReplyDeleteBack in my working days, I often went to Orlando on business. I saw a bumper sticker there that said, "When I get old, I'm going to move up North and drive slow."
ReplyDeleteThe sign left out bugs, lizards, and mandatory sun screen.
