So I am driving to the store. I get to a traffic light intersection where I am in a turn lane with a red light.
This car comes up two lanes to my right and starts honking his horn. I ignore it thinking he was honking at someone else. He keeps on honking and I look over and it is a driver in a sedan, no passengers so I roll down my passenger window. The guy says my left headlight is out, which is odd because I just pulled out of my driveway and down a dark road to where I could tell if my headlight bulb was out. I nod my head and roll my window up. The light turns green for me so I pull away. Anything like this ever happen to you? |

Had a guy honking to get my attention at a stop light one time when I was in the shop's rollback truck.
Rolled down the window and he yelled that one of my side toolbox doors had fallen open. Gave him a thumbs up and pulled into the next parking lot to close it. Not everyone on the road is a crazy asshole. |

One time, I was in the far left lane to go straight on a busy road. The ladies in the car next to me on the left were in a left turn lane. Out of state, and were about to take the wrong turn. They just asked if I would let them jump in front of me when the light turned green so traffic didn't get held up. I let them know at that intersection, left turns got the green first, so their light would have them long gone before I got my green.
I still wonder how pissed they were when they found out that wrong turn onto the highway sent them on a 15 mile stretch with no turnaround option. |

I'd try and let you know if one of your lights are out, beats seeing someone get a ticket.
Weirdest one was I was bogged in heavy traffic and I kept hearing this rhythmic clicking noise from behind me. I thought someone had a stone lodge in their thread. Nope. They gut finally goes by and it's a gigantic bolt head clacking along on the bottom of his tire. His lane slows down and I pull up alongside side and said he has a bolt through his tire. He seemed to have known as his only concern was if the tire was flat yet. It wasn't and I said so but was tempted to say only on the bottom. |

I nice helpful person talked to you? No, no nice poeple have ever talked to me. Everyone's an #######... None of my lights were out. I recently bought the car and checked all the lights a couple days ago. I checked my lights again afterwards, none of them are out. |

One time I had the Harbor Freight bull horn in my car. I passed this Santa looking dude and his lights were off and it was night. I guess he could still see because of the street lights, but anyways,... So I roll my window down and yelled at him through the bull horn to turn on his lights. Papa Clause FREAKS out, and nearly drives into the curb, and immediately puts on his hazards and pulls over to call the police I assume. Thats what happens when I try to help. |
|
In my first car, a kind person tagged alongside me for several miles, trying to get my attention.
My response was to not look over and turn the radio up. When it became obvious that this person wasn't going away, at all, I gave my attention. Turns out I had a flat tire. I felt like such an asshole! |

I had a guy do the same thing to me OP. Although instead of a horn it was some bright lights and a siren. Yeah, this wasn't a cop. Nothing was wrong with my lights. It was a mile away from my home so it is not like I was out of town and didn't know where I was going. |

Yeah, I had a guy get out of his car at a stop sign to tell me a headlight was out, it was. It wasn't quite dark so I hadn't noticed.
When I was in college, I was driving back to Baton Rouge from NO late one night. Some man pulled alongside of me and kept motioning like my trunk was open and trying to get me to pull over. May have been near a weigh station, I don't recall a rest stop along that area at that time. Anywho, I ignored him and kept going and he pulled away. Got to my destination and there was nothing wrong with my trunk. |
| Yeah. I was in a long line of traffic inching up to the left turn lane to get onto the highway. A car in the through lane to the right stopped right next to me. I looked over and it was two women in a hatchback sedan. The driver stuck her head out the window and asked if I'd let her in ahead of me. I turned and looked back at the long line of people waiting behind me, then shrugged my shoulders and said "why not." |

Well, then I guess he just wanted to suck your dick. Feel better? |

Maybe they were havin' a bit of a laugh. Or they were waiting for you to stop and check somewhere dark and secluded so they could beat you savagely and rob you. |

Mirrors, how do they work? Quoted:

Did you pass the guy? If not how would he know? Maybe I read something wrong if the answer is no. Mirrors, how do they work?  .... How would a mirror allow you to see if a headlight was out on a car ahead of you?
