why do some people think it's great to yell things out a car window and what's the reason behind it?

Question

at motorists? at pedestrians?

Answer 1

Because they want to be noticed or they are trying to start trouble or are just plain immature.

Answer 2

They're usually trying to show off & look cool to their friends. They don't seem to realise how retarded it makes them look.

Ohh, and I guess it's a bit like the internet. Y'know how people are often abusive and slag off others online? It's because of the anonomity, no-one will be able to find out who they are. It's probably similar in the car situation, it takes a few seconds to get away from the person they yelled at, so there is little chance the person will find out who they are or confront them in that brief time frame.

Answer 3

Ignorance and lack of respect for others. It makes them feel powerful, however if you put them in a crowd, I bet they wouldn't be acting the same way. Chickensh*t syndrome.

Answer 4

i like yelling at other motorists. it improves their driving, especially if they were driving like a moron before i yelled.

Answer 5

i'm totally agree with phoenixheat.. they usually do it when they have other friends in their car.. it seems like they're trying to show off in front of their friends.. when they're alone USUALLY they keep quite..
probably deep inside their heart they know it's just ridiculously stupid..

Answer 6

Some peoples children....their parents couldn't control them and neither can we.

Answer 7

People think that they are being funny, it's kind of juvenile though.

Answer 8

i guess people get amusement from yelling stuff at other people

Answer 9

I call it the "Hey, look at me!" syndrome.
