Is honking becoming an obsolete way of saying, "I'm here!"?

Oh gosh .. I LOVE Lupin. I would like to have SEX with that character! Wow. I just smiled.

Yes. I was aggravated. And it was a favor and it was in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. I was hot and waiting in the car for her. So I honked. Again, I thought perhaps the rules of etiquette had changed some, hence the question.

BTW, do you look anything LIKE that guy?

He had such a sweet way about him. Sounds silly, I know. I'm guilty of reading all of the Harry Potter books when they came out one by one.

There is nothing rude about honking the horn -to let someone know you've arrived. The horn was put in the car for a reason. To get someones attention. If someone was nice enough to drive me to the airport (saving me ballpark $50-$75) I wouldn't be complaining about a horn.

To answer your question, my ex gf used to tell me I looked like professor Lupin. We are all potter fans, you know "pot heads" get it?

No, is that similar to the Jimmy Buffet thing of being parrotheads?

I had never heard of that with Potter fans.

Several women have told me that Lupin was their favorite character. I'm not sure if I have a favorite, but when I watched that movie several times, I had little dreamy thoughts of Lupin. And I'm not alone.

Cute. Very cute. And thanks for your response to my topic. I know that we all have opinions on this subject. And I try to be really polite. I have a bum knee and didn't feel like walking the distance to the door.

Shame on me. At any rate, again, thanks for the responses everyone!

Sincerely,
Elisabeth

I guess I'm way out of the loop I thought of this guy when you mentioned Lupin.
