Honk if You’re Horny
Anyone who has been to China knows about the incessant honking, which is why it’s such a relief to be back home where honking is kept to a minimum. But some of that honking followed my wife from China. Whenever she goes out by herself, one or two guys will honk at her as they drive past.
The first time she told me this, my reaction was, “What a couple of douchebags!” It seriously embarrasses me that people still honk at girls. You have to wonder what the guy in the car hopes to accomplish, if he half expects the girl to flag him down so she can say, “That was so thoughtful of you!” and then show him her boobs.
For Sarah, though, the “see girl, honk horn” tactic comes across as amusing, one of those funny things American boys do to “compliment” a girl. Whether or not the end goal is really just to compliment someone is up for debate, but even when giving them the benefit of the doubt, I still want to shake these guys and say, “Stop making US men look like dumbasses!”

It’s more douche-y than complimentary but I think it’s nice that she’s not offended by it. It’s a bit juvenile but nothing more and certainly doesn’t warrant the huff of indignation and the middle finger. Unless it’s a long honk- that’s the equivalent of gawking. A brief *toot toot* is a nod of approval. Still, it is kinda douche-y.
I’m in favor of making a bumper sticker that reads: “Honk if You’ve Got a Hot Wife that Other Guys Honk at!”
