Finally, somebody fighting Parisian drivers

A while back, I expressed in my scratchpad (what I used before a blog) what I thought of Parisian drivers. My view on Parisian drivers has not changed: they are just stupid. And they proved it again today, honking because my one-way street was blocked by the firemen rescuing somebody. How dare they!

But somebody did what I often thought of doing today: throw stuff at them. Well, not chairs like I thought, but balls. This guy is my new hero. I understand that throwing objects on cars is not very clever, but you have to understand after several years of being abused by Parisian honking, it must be a real relief.

So people were honking, and he was yelling at them from his appartment, and throwing balls on their cars. I’m not sure that he only got people who were honking, but eh, there’s always collateral damage in any kind of conflict.

People were honking, he was yelling, and throwing balls, insults were flowing back and forth.

Sadly, I don’t think that any of the drivers will have gotten any lesson out of it. And I don’t think that throwing stuff at car is a way to deal with the problem, but this whole episode really made me feel like I’m not the only one who’s had enough of all this honking.
