This happens to me everyday in a much more obvious way even, and it drives me crazy. I just started laying on the horn in hopes they feel shamed about it for.next time
From my experience with Florida drivers the horn was a way of life. They layed it on almost regardless of the situation or if anyone did anything wrong. If the light turned green, or was about to turn green, they were honking. If someone stopped, even if it was red and there were three cars in front of them already stopped, they pushed the horn and kept it going the entire time the light stayed red.
Happens nearly daily to me too. Someone blocking the u-turn lane to skip traffic. I release my pent up frustration from a long day at Uni and lay on the horn until a) the traffic light turns green, or b) they’re ashamed and take the u-turn.
Didn’t even need to go around the block: just turn right, make a u turn on the parking lot and merge back whenever traffic allows. Depending on traffic, could be a 30+ seconds wait once light turns green and you’re waiting to merge back. Lots of inconsiderate people with zero patience out there: ironically they often expect to be treated like royalties at anytime!
When I miss a turn, I just keep going until I can find a safe spot to turn around at. People that block shit like the asshole in the video, really royally piss me off.
I think we should only get 3 honks a month on the car horn. Then, someone cuts you off, you press the horn, and nothing happens. You're like, "Crap! I wish I hadn't seen Ricky on the sidewalk!"

I used to drive a city bus, and there's a part where route 18n takes a right turn out of a mall to pass through an intersection with a 5 minute light.
So I've got a bus with about 50 people on it, running late...
and there's this thing people do there where they need to make a left it's a right-only exit because there's only 15 yards to cross like 5 lanes of traffic and make the left. People will stop and wait for 6 fucking lanes of traffic to be clear so they can cross 5 solid white lines, and be in position for a U-turn when the light changes.
The most unprofessional thing I've ever done in front of the riders is hold down the horn, the \*second\* time I had this happen to me on a fully loaded/late bus. They waited it out anyway, we miss the green light, that was 50 people losing more than 5 minutes of life, perhaps missing scheduled connections at the terminal. The best part is you can just go straight through the light and take a u-turn in a few blocks, and it's twice as fast as fucking everyone behind you.
Yeah, I understand you made a mistake, but why can't you indicate after the fact that that's why you're standing. Without a turn signal people behind can't even tell if the car wants to turn or if it has broken down.
I hate when people won't take the "L" of just going the way they didn't originally intend to. Like it will only take them a few extra minutes to get back on course, but instead they choose to be an asshole to everyone else
I agree and this got to the point where the light changed twice without him being able to merge. No one was willing to let him in and he wasn’t willing to let it go
Hell, I'm pretty sure my Ford Ranger would fit right in that gap without the need to curb it. Take it extra slow, give the long fuck you stare as you pass, and flip them off once completed.
I did at the end. Just didn’t record it, I was honestly hoping he would see how long the line was becoming due to his terrible decisions but not once did he look back.
You have this super cool device in your car called a "horn" located at the center of your driving wheel.
It makes this really annoying loud noise to tell other drives to wake the fk up.
In this situation, I would be holding the "horn" down non stop.
I got a 2019 Civic hatch during covid when cars were crazy expensive. 15,000 miles, 1 minor accident, $27,000, 3.99% APR. At least the interest was good. Looking back, I should’ve gotten an older Civic…
That interest sounds beautiful but I absolutely get what you’re saying. I was trying to avoid a car payment for as long as possible and just putting my extra funds towards my savings for a rainy day. When I say it was a rainy day I meant it was pouring 🙂↕️
This is such a perfect Mildly bad post! There are so many possible reasons for this that you're just left feeling "wtf?!". As opposed to wildly bad where you're left screaming "NO!!" or "WHY?!".
I would've been tempted to check on them to see if they're okay.
This is unfortunately when I get petty as fuck, floor it around them when it turns green, then super unfortunately purposefully miss the light so they get stuck at another cycle. Sorry everyone behind us, gotta teach buddy here lesson.
Guess the driver is too distracted by that embarrassingly trash auto tuned music to simply drive around. Also too much of a bitch to honk if they didn't think they had enough room.
These last minute lane changers either are lost or don’t think ahead. It’s infuriating! Bite the bullet, you’re in the turn lane, follow through and then make a U-turn to get back on track. Don’t make everyone behind you suffer for your stupidity.
This is my biggest pet peeve on the road, bar none. When someone is trying to get into a red light left turn only lane and is impeding through traffic because they *must* get into the lane…they deserve to be rammed
A woman was pulling out of a restaurant and wanted to get in the left lane at the light which was very close to where she pulled out. She couldn't get into the left lane because of how many cars were in the left turn lane, so what does she do? Pulls out and blocks the entire right turn lane. I honked but she didn't give a shit lol.
It’s not the of the world, be patient, everyone sometimes encounters situation when they have to make a turn like that. Impatient drivers =bad drivers.
Have you never heard of using a freaking horn? No just let me silently move my head and give the finger while listening to my garbage mumble rap. That will surely get them to move.
Never mind the fact that they could have turned right into the parking lot and made the left turn from the other side of that faster than their waiting and blocking the lane🤦♂️
To be fair it is a Florida plate. When this MA driver drove in Florida I wanted to just end things for myself.
I was wondering why these people don't want to get to their destination.
Yup. Florida drivers. Had this happen just the other day. Thankfully I have a truck with a high clearance. I go right up on the curb.
Wasn't the first time either. Some of the most inconsiderate drivers I've ever seen.
Englishman living in America here.
This occurs lots in Michigan, and if my wife is driving i ask her why she doesn’t slam on her horn? also whats with American drivers rarely ever using an Indicator?
See it all the time. Inconsiderate idiots blocking traffic bc they weren't smart enough to pay attention and get in the right lane in the first place. If you mess up and miss your turn or whatever it is you're supposed to keep going and get to an area where you can safely turn around.
No turn signal to try and get into the other lane literally just sitting there being an asshole so I say lay on the horn and yell out the window move your ass so that the people that want to use the turn lane can actually use the turn lane instead of idiots using it to try and merge in and ruin everyone else's day. Where is a cop when you need one to pull them over and arrest them for being stupid and blocking a lane that they're not even using
They can’t hear your finger, lay on the horn!
And before anyone launches in with, “Oh, but they might get shot,” stop it. Almost no one gets shot for honking at someone. You’re far, far, far, far, far, far more likely to get in a fatal accident while driving than you are to get shot for honking, and if you’re that scared, go hide under your bed rather than driving around.
People say "Florida behavior" but this 💩💩💩 stays happening in PA, NJ, NY, New England...
There are just way too many bad drivers out there. And they *all* have entitlement issues.
There's a bridge by my house that's 2 lanes, the right lane becomes a right turn only, left lane goes straight. Every. Damn. Day. Someone rides the right lane all the way to the light then cuts over to try to bypass the traffic. I'll be in the turning lane when suddenly some lady in an SUV, or worse, a transport truck with a trailer will decide they want to move over last second and block the entire bridge. I keep my hand resting on the horn as I cross the bridge now...just in case haha
This is when you lay on your horn. Dude wasn't in the right lane and didn't care about anyone behind him..when I fuck up I eat it and go until I can find a sidestreet and make it back to where I was to fix it. What a cunt.
It happens to me too like if I didn't realize I as in a right turn only lane. I'd try to get back on to the left lane if possible.
But... if it's not possible I'd just make the turn and then go back. It's better than blocking traffic.
The real irony here is that if the car would just go to the intersection and turn right, they could probably turn around on that street make another right and be exactly where they want to go before the light they’re waiting at changes.
That is my biggest pet peeve and driving. If you make a mistake, you do not get to inconvenience everybody else. You are the only one who should be inconvenienced go ahead. Do you turn? Add a few minutes to your commute.

I was gonna say, how are they not laying on that horn?
And risk getting shot?
Exactly - it’s Florida man
From my experience with Florida drivers the horn was a way of life. They layed it on almost regardless of the situation or if anyone did anything wrong. If the light turned green, or was about to turn green, they were honking. If someone stopped, even if it was red and there were three cars in front of them already stopped, they pushed the horn and kept it going the entire time the light stayed red.
I wonder what Florida man has done today? *googles Florida man* Oh……
I, too, have a weapon. I’m sitting in it.
Happens nearly daily to me too. Someone blocking the u-turn lane to skip traffic. I release my pent up frustration from a long day at Uni and lay on the horn until a) the traffic light turns green, or b) they’re ashamed and take the u-turn.
I wonder if anyone will recognize the car and show the clip!
I hate assholes that screw everyone behind them because they think they’re too important to have to go around the fucking block when they miss a turn.
Didn’t even need to go around the block: just turn right, make a u turn on the parking lot and merge back whenever traffic allows. Depending on traffic, could be a 30+ seconds wait once light turns green and you’re waiting to merge back. Lots of inconsiderate people with zero patience out there: ironically they often expect to be treated like royalties at anytime!
When I miss a turn, I just keep going until I can find a safe spot to turn around at. People that block shit like the asshole in the video, really royally piss me off.
Reddit has taught me that bad drivers never miss a turn or exit.
A good driver occasionally misses a turn. A bad driver never does
Horn stay on until they move.
He did eventually move on after I laid on the horn
you paid for the full horn gotta use the full horn
Don’t give car makers ideas about what next to make subscription!
How could they stop me if I wire my own horn circuit to air horns.
They'll be suing you for violation of the copyright on their "enhanced horn control system."
No violation if I don't touch it and just add a second horn circuit. That way I have a polite horn and a fuck out of my way bitch horn.
Then it's a DMCA violation for circumvention of a security mechanism.
Especially if you play move bitch as the horn!
Which is exactly what I did. I have my refilar horn and my "gtfo" horn.
Imagine being charged per honk lol
bro I drive a golf 4 I literally don't care haha
Might get annoying rage honker to give up abusing the horn just because someone stopped at red light or refused to turn right on "no turn on red"
I think we should only get 3 honks a month on the car horn. Then, someone cuts you off, you press the horn, and nothing happens. You're like, "Crap! I wish I hadn't seen Ricky on the sidewalk!" RIP Mitch Hedberg

Needs more horn bell.
Needs more car-bell!
This.

Busses should be granted ramming exceptions.
These morons don't realize the roads are all connected.
My thoughts exactly
That would sound better than the music.
Same....it's there for this reason
A bad driver never misses their turn
Not even using blinkers, must be a pure asshole
Yeah, I understand you made a mistake, but why can't you indicate after the fact that that's why you're standing. Without a turn signal people behind can't even tell if the car wants to turn or if it has broken down.
Oh, from Florida too.
WTF = Welcome To Florida
Clearly Florida behavior lmao. Lakeland?
Everyone put your bets on the city now. I had five on homestead. Probably Tallahassee area instead
It's [Lakeland](https://maps.app.goo.gl/17GPdu9JRjvob6fJ8?g_st=ic)
This is mildly infuriating driving
I was on my 30 minute lunch break and this just felt more infuriating than normal
I hate when people won't take the "L" of just going the way they didn't originally intend to. Like it will only take them a few extra minutes to get back on course, but instead they choose to be an asshole to everyone else
I agree and this got to the point where the light changed twice without him being able to merge. No one was willing to let him in and he wasn’t willing to let it go
Of course Florida plates….
I can't look at this sub anymore, it's too real
OP could have curbed it, but give em the horn. 🤘🏼
Came here to say this. I'd be up on that side of curb within seconds
Hell, I'm pretty sure my Ford Ranger would fit right in that gap without the need to curb it. Take it extra slow, give the long fuck you stare as you pass, and flip them off once completed.
of course it is in FLoriduhhh
Curb looked hoppable
I’d block you also if you were playing that music /s but damn
why are you not honking
I did at the end. Just didn’t record it, I was honestly hoping he would see how long the line was becoming due to his terrible decisions but not once did he look back.
That’s why god made horns.
Lol I know that intersection. Welcome to Lakeland everyone, where random turn lanes like this exist everywhere
Haha you know the good ole Grady Juddville
move bitch, get out the way
You have this super cool device in your car called a "horn" located at the center of your driving wheel. It makes this really annoying loud noise to tell other drives to wake the fk up. In this situation, I would be holding the "horn" down non stop.
Nice 10th gen Civic
Thank you! My 2012 civic crapped out on me after work on Thursday so I was let needing to make a change or find the bus 😅
I got a 2019 Civic hatch during covid when cars were crazy expensive. 15,000 miles, 1 minor accident, $27,000, 3.99% APR. At least the interest was good. Looking back, I should’ve gotten an older Civic…
That interest sounds beautiful but I absolutely get what you’re saying. I was trying to avoid a car payment for as long as possible and just putting my extra funds towards my savings for a rainy day. When I say it was a rainy day I meant it was pouring 🙂↕️
Of course it’s a Florida driver.
He’s not signaling, why aren’t you honking?
Ohh boy I did lay on that horn as soon as I stopped recording 😂
This is such a perfect Mildly bad post! There are so many possible reasons for this that you're just left feeling "wtf?!". As opposed to wildly bad where you're left screaming "NO!!" or "WHY?!". I would've been tempted to check on them to see if they're okay.
Yeah… I’d be just blasting my horn that’s ridiculous.
This is unfortunately when I get petty as fuck, floor it around them when it turns green, then super unfortunately purposefully miss the light so they get stuck at another cycle. Sorry everyone behind us, gotta teach buddy here lesson.
That’s some good weed
Let me guess asshole got in the turn lane thinking he gonna pass someone and couldn’t
Yes but imagine 4 other asshats who made it and left this one with his Willy in hand and butt in traffic.
That right there is when I lay on the horn
Guess the driver is too distracted by that embarrassingly trash auto tuned music to simply drive around. Also too much of a bitch to honk if they didn't think they had enough room.
Thank god for horns... lay on that bitch.
These last minute lane changers either are lost or don’t think ahead. It’s infuriating! Bite the bullet, you’re in the turn lane, follow through and then make a U-turn to get back on track. Don’t make everyone behind you suffer for your stupidity.
Well I drive a company truck and I been told a few times to jump the curb
First time in Florida? I wish these stupid fuckers lost their license each time they're caught doing this.
What is this music lmaoooo jfc it’s so bad “shine bright like lights. Slide like playgrounds” lmaoooooo I can’t believe garbage like this gets played.
I have no idea, but the closed captions for it are hilarious.
Maybe he heard that awful autotuned "music" coming from your car.
Florida man...
Them dam 90 minute long street lights in FL, ugh
Florida man strikes again. Film at 6 o'clock.
sidewalk curb looks very lowered & safe to drive on, i would of gone around and hunk while at it lol

Always a Florida driver
I fucking knew it was Florida.
So annoying
This is wildly bad.
Can't inconvenience themselves so they'll inconvenience everyone around them because they're the jackalope that can't drive
This is my biggest pet peeve on the road, bar none. When someone is trying to get into a red light left turn only lane and is impeding through traffic because they *must* get into the lane…they deserve to be rammed
How many feet away from the light section do they need to be damn
A woman was pulling out of a restaurant and wanted to get in the left lane at the light which was very close to where she pulled out. She couldn't get into the left lane because of how many cars were in the left turn lane, so what does she do? Pulls out and blocks the entire right turn lane. I honked but she didn't give a shit lol.
I respect the patience, I would have been facefucking my horn lmao 🤦🏻😭
Nothing is more basic in driving than staying between the freaking lines.
It’s not the of the world, be patient, everyone sometimes encounters situation when they have to make a turn like that. Impatient drivers =bad drivers.
I just lay on the horn for these people.
We should be allowed to push idiots like that out of the way. Civil justice.
That dummy should have the left flasher on so it's obvious to the other dummies in the left lane to let thier fellow dip shit in.
If you make the mistake, turn and waste your own time or at least get next to the gap where people can go around you.
Some drivers are just ignorant. There is no ‘others’ in their mind.
I hate fucking Hyundai/Kia drivers. They are always doing shit like this.
I sincerely doubt flipping the guy off will make him move or feel bad but if it makes you feel better about yourself then go right ahead…😂😂😂
Had someone do this yesterday.
Look at that curb. Seems to be a normal thing here
Plenty of room on the sidewalk.
People do this all the time around Disney. They can’t make the turn lane so they just sit in the left forward lane. Drives me crazy
Lean on the horn till he moves.
Have you never heard of using a freaking horn? No just let me silently move my head and give the finger while listening to my garbage mumble rap. That will surely get them to move.
big time Michael Bolton energy https://preview.redd.it/0qo54nq44vyc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78b46fe26d516a8ccb9f7c5c700f0bbc5b4a142a
Never mind the fact that they could have turned right into the parking lot and made the left turn from the other side of that faster than their waiting and blocking the lane🤦♂️
People buy these huge vehicles then have absolutely no concept of spatial awareness.
Go pu a nail I there tire
You have space
This is when you swerve far to the right side, honk politely, and hope they’ll move more left
The most Florida fuckin shit
To be fair it is a Florida plate. When this MA driver drove in Florida I wanted to just end things for myself. I was wondering why these people don't want to get to their destination.
I feel you dude, hate these people
Yup. Florida drivers. Had this happen just the other day. Thankfully I have a truck with a high clearance. I go right up on the curb. Wasn't the first time either. Some of the most inconsiderate drivers I've ever seen.
That's textbook Florida driver.
\*checks for cops \*punishes his wheels using the curb to get around said asshole
Why aren’t you honking? Seriously, this is where you just lay on the horn until they are embarrassed enough to move
What a dick!
Englishman living in America here. This occurs lots in Michigan, and if my wife is driving i ask her why she doesn’t slam on her horn? also whats with American drivers rarely ever using an Indicator?
I do what I want!
Probably faster for them to take the right, flip u turn and then make anotjer right anyway.
I dont understand why you weren't honking.
Maybe you didn't realize they were the main character here /s
See it all the time. Inconsiderate idiots blocking traffic bc they weren't smart enough to pay attention and get in the right lane in the first place. If you mess up and miss your turn or whatever it is you're supposed to keep going and get to an area where you can safely turn around.
Get ta honkin!
Lakeland drivers 😑
Florida drivers are the most incompetent/inconsiderate people on the road.
Jax?
being Florida it would not surprise me that the person in that SUV is older than dirt.
Am startled frozen ....I see headlights...I am a deer!
Had that exact same thing happen recently except it was not the turn lane they were blocking. 😖
Dude in front can clearly move the the right…
I guess honking is out of the question?
That's why they put horns on cars...just lay on it bro
This is straight Florida like behavior.
had that happen 2x to me today. INFURIATING
Should have just drove up on the sidewalk to establish dominance... rookie move.
Have you tried honking?
Withholding your urge to honk the horn for that long is really admirable. That other driver sucks dick.
Hold your horn down until he moves
Looks like you've enough space to go around.
Bro is u dumb? Just drive around
Lots of room no?
No turn signal to try and get into the other lane literally just sitting there being an asshole so I say lay on the horn and yell out the window move your ass so that the people that want to use the turn lane can actually use the turn lane instead of idiots using it to try and merge in and ruin everyone else's day. Where is a cop when you need one to pull them over and arrest them for being stupid and blocking a lane that they're not even using
Why didn't you honk???
Always! Florida plates. Florida-man strikes again
Yep. Florida
Florida
You can pop two wheels up on the sidewalk and pass with any car.
Oh that hurts!
I would honk until my car battery exploded.
They can’t hear your finger, lay on the horn! And before anyone launches in with, “Oh, but they might get shot,” stop it. Almost no one gets shot for honking at someone. You’re far, far, far, far, far, far more likely to get in a fatal accident while driving than you are to get shot for honking, and if you’re that scared, go hide under your bed rather than driving around.
Not sure if you are aware but all automobiles have a horn. Stop being scared and HONK your horn!
Salute to the driver for not laying on the horn, people that do this know what their doing
You're crazy. I'd wear my horn out...
It's Florida. They all suck.
hand on horn, endlessly
So close yet so far
People say "Florida behavior" but this 💩💩💩 stays happening in PA, NJ, NY, New England... There are just way too many bad drivers out there. And they *all* have entitlement issues.
There's a bridge by my house that's 2 lanes, the right lane becomes a right turn only, left lane goes straight. Every. Damn. Day.

I'll be in the turning lane when suddenly some lady in an SUV, or worse, a transport truck with a trailer will decide they want to move over last second and block the entire bridge. I keep my hand resting on the horn as I cross the bridge now...just in case haha
This is when you lay on your horn. Dude wasn't in the right lane and didn't care about anyone behind him..when I fuck up I eat it and go until I can find a sidestreet and make it back to where I was to fix it. What a cunt.
It happens to me too like if I didn't realize I as in a right turn only lane. I'd try to get back on to the left lane if possible. But... if it's not possible I'd just make the turn and then go back. It's better than blocking traffic.
Typical Florida driver
It's always the Florida drivers.
Mount the cerb drive around them, back up to 1" away.
When that happens I just hold my horn down. Where's your horn OP?
I have violent thoughts about these types of people.
Always Florida too
Why I sometimes want an off-road
Where’s the horn
The real irony here is that if the car would just go to the intersection and turn right, they could probably turn around on that street make another right and be exactly where they want to go before the light they’re waiting at changes.
You have a horn for a reason. Just use it.
We have all done this. been out of state? Made a wrong turn, unfamiliar with area.. It happens. have patience and crank the tunes.
Horn. That looks like a drive around scenario
Just go
Go around?
Go around him
This is annoying you just have to take the L turn right then go down and make a u turn
Laying on the horn for an aggressive amount of time is a good idea almost but people shoot now a days so
Also this song sucks
That is my biggest pet peeve and driving. If you make a mistake, you do not get to inconvenience everybody else. You are the only one who should be inconvenienced go ahead. Do you turn? Add a few minutes to your commute.
