I was waiting with bated breath for something to become apparent that the driver was being a typical arrogant driver... was not disappointed.

Its a classic through that tunnel throughout the decades . But after regularly walking through as a teenager back in the day, the horns are painful as much as obnoxious and I never do it myself if driving. People do seem to do less of it saying that these days. I’d doubt as well that someone could target a car because it beeped with the speed they move through and the height of the walkway. Is the journo connecting the dots ? Unless she had the horn on the whole way through and the thrower lined them up as they came . Who knows.

"it amuses my spawn"

It really annoys me that nobody ever gets a ticket for that, it's so obnoxious.
