Deep Thoughts on Driving

I don't know how often some people use their horn on their car, but I use mine with regularity.  The only thing is I think there ought to be like 3 or 4 different types of horns on a car.  I honked at this lady this morning because the light turned green and she just sat there.  I'm pretty positive she wasn't texting or looking at her phone or anything, but I waited for a few seconds and when I was sure she wasn't noticing the light change I honked my horn.  It sounded sooo loud.  I wanted to just kindly toot-toot at her.  You know a nice light honk that says "hey-aay...just trying to help you out".  Not a "move your ass lady" honk!  This would also be a great honk for the little grandmas you don't want to honk at...I always think that could be my grandmother someone is honking at!  I would also like a mild honk for when you honk at someone you think is probably just lost and you feel like you shouldn't honked real angry at them.  But then I also would like a honk that is loud and sort of growly maybe that says, "I don't care if the light is about to change don't cut in front of me"!  Or an even louder honk for the interstate that says "It's called...I'm leaving a driving space you MO-RON, not a space for you to slide into so you can be 30 feet of where you were 2 seconds ago".  Am I right?    I hate it when I leave a good driving space between me and the person in front of me and someone takes it as an invitation to come on over!  Now I am not a perfect driver...I've been honked at once or twice (and given a #1 sign...who hasn't).  I know that I can get lulled into a drivers coma and begin following way too close to the person in front of me.  I know.  I know.  Major confession.  Seriously, I try to leave a space, but sometimes I just forget.  Then often times I get into a pretend competition with the person trying to get in my driving space and I'm like "not today sistah"!  Insane...I know! 
Well, gotta go start the car to run errands!  Gee...I hope I see you out on the road!  I'm probably the one tailgating you because I'm hollerin' at the kids or either the one honking at you because your're taking too long at the green light!
