No, it happened this morning when I was parked in my truck in a nice shaded area of a parking lot listening to a classical music station out of D.C. I had the windows down enjoying a cool breeze when a huge new black SUV with tinted windows pulls up besides me. The driver gets out and when he is about 10 meters away I heard this loud HONK. Are these people hard of hearing or what? Too lazy to lock the car as they exit? Too stupid to know that they can program their remote? Or perhaps they are merely bragging about their new status symbol and want to draw attention to themselves.

I couldn't tell. The guy came back to his SUV in about 10 minutes and drove off.

It's hot here today, 100F and the heat index is cooking. Definitely need some of that danagerous global cooling.

A lot of newer vehicles are starting to make it where you can't lock the doors as your getting out and can't turn off the horn feature for locking them.

But plenty of them still lock silently the first time you push the button and only honk when you push it again for confirmation. This is what bugs me about it. Most of the time you only have to push the button once to lock the doors. It's only mildly annoying in a parking lot. When it's right outside the window of your sleeping baby. . .

Unfortunately, my wife's new car honks when you press it the first time. Not a loud honk, but a honk nonetheless.

Peeve of the day: When eating those individually packed crackers at a restaurant, everytime I try and put the plastic wrapper down it sticks to my hand through the joy of static electricity. Then I'm sitting there waving my hand around like a weirdo trying to get this wrapper off my hand. And if you try and pull it off with the other hand it sticks to the opposite hand.

You do know that people on the other side of the restaurant think your trying to get a bugger off your finger don't you? :shocked2:
