Parisian Drivers Are Stupid

I think I've just had enough of Parisian drivers. Not that they weren't bothering me at all before. Not at all! But there's only so much honking one can stand everyday before wanting to yell "Fuck you!" out of the window or start throwing rocks, or chairs.

Here's a typical situation: a truck stops in the street for a delivery. Because Parisians park wherever, the parking spot dedicated to this is already taken by a car. So the street is blocked.

Rapidly, cars are stuck behind the truck, and very rapidly, one starts honking. Because one driver honks, others think "yeah, right! I'm going to honk too". And then everybody honks every 10 to 30 seconds, for between 1 and 5 seconds.

It could be 2pm, 7am, 11pm. You could be out of your house, or watching TV on your sofa, or sleeping soundly (well, not anymore). Who cares? Let's honk.

And if a car manages to pass the truck while the driver is still around, the car will furiously honk, just in case the truck driver hadn't understood that he was blocking the street and hadn't heard the previous lound mouning.

Parisian drivers are studid, and obnoxious. Here, I said it. I'm feeling somewhat better. And now the truck is gone, the cars too, and it's much quieter.
