Car Alarms Suck
Posted on | September 16, 2008 | No Comments
Who was the moron who designed the modern car alarm? If a blaring horn or some hideous screeching noise is going to chase away a car thief, then it is going to do it in the first five seconds, don’tcha think?
But no, car alarms have to grind on endlessly, while everyone in the neighborhood hopes the goddamn owner can find the goddamn remote. Usually, the idiot owner is thinking the same thing, until he musters enough neurons to fire at the same time and realize that it’s his own freakin’ car.
Can’t they configure them to make the infernal noise for just a few seconds and then switch off? If another incursion is detected, then go ahead and blast again, but let’s have some respect for others. Not only do they make everyone miserable but they create a “crying wolf” effect that makes people less likely to look out their windows to see if there really is a car thief out there.
And while I’m on the topic, what are people thinking when they park their car at 2:30am and then, instead of locking the doors manually, press the stupid little key, making the horn honk twice? How many neighbors now realize that you just got home from your night of drinking and that you lack the common decency to STFU about it.
Chirp chirp, you pricks.

My name is John. I have opinions about everything, especially about how to solve world problems. Most of my rants have to do with the runaway stupidity on this planet. If you don't agree with my views, that's OK - it's a free country (kinda). Just don't mistake this site for a democracy!
