Well, they lose, because I don't look. Loud radios, squealing tires, honking horns, high RPM, or loud mufflers.
I too old to be impressed by that stuff. - SkiingSixPackExplorerMy guess is that he was giving a toot on the horn to some kid doing that motion with his arm... I did that all the time as a kid. Fun times! Remember to not take life so seriously and have fun...
Although ... maybe he WAS doing it to piss you off. - bluwtr49Explorer IIWhy not, late morning...eary afternoon, kind of a nice touch when someone is saying they enjoyed the stay and company.
After all, what's a 0.25 second horn toot really mean in the grand scheme of things. Better that than yapping dogs and/or screaming kids. - rvtenExplorerAir horns. Just another toy on a DP. They have to play with.
Hear it a lot. - BB_TXNomadHave only seen (heard) that at one RV park we go to in Colorado. Many people stay for days/weeks and have made many friends there. There is a climb up a long grade on the highway above the park when leaving. And it is common for people to honk their horns going up the grade to say goodbye. Doesn't bother me in the least. If that is my worst worry I am doing pretty good. :B
- Executive45Explorer IIIWho CARES...:h:h...maybe he was saying goodbye to the dunce that left his campfire smouldering all night...:B:B..or goodbye to the nitwit that pulled in around 11:30PM.....that's the beauty of retirement..we learn what's important in life and what isn't...oh! I still honk in tunnels for good luck....:B....Dennis
- 2oldmanExplorer IIHere we go....
- JRS___BExplorerI will take a wild guess. It is a carry over to days gone by.
When I as 10 or 11 years old,(1954/1955) people used to "stop by for visit". And when they departed from your home they tooted their horns very, very briefly, and waved goodbyes.
It was a common practice at the time. And I have no idea how it started.
But I just think it is mostly a lingering tradition from the olden days. - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIMaybe, just maybe he was saying goodbye to some camping friends/family
Maybe, just maybe he was tooting cause the little kid standing there was giving the 'toot your horn' gesture
Maybe, just maybe he was giving a 'thank-you' to someone that helped him
Maybe, just maybe it didn't have anything to do with you - PapPappyExplorerHey, I toot my horn when I leave home for work, and my Grandson is outside waving to me!:B
But, then again, that is in a residential neighborhood, not at a campground....and it's about 3:00PM in the afternoon, so I'm not waking anyone up either.....and finally, it's not an airhorn!!
I guess we know why there is that saying "Toot your own horn!":B
