Driving Me Crazy

I'm sitting in the left lane waiting to take a U-turn on Kirkwood Highway (3 lanes each way). Finally there's an opening, although they're moving slow in the far right hand oncoming lane. I'm just about to turn when the guy sitting behind me (a 20 something loser all alone in a 10-14 seat HUGE SUV with temporary tags) lays on his horn. Folks, there are still cars blocking my way -- even if I was to take a left hand turn. Naturally, I take my time making my U-turn 'cause of the obnoxious horn. Of course, he curses me for it and then lays on the horn again.

No doubt he was late for his volunteer community work with the handicapped or elderly...
