Hit the horn or rev the engine?
Poll - duh. 
Basically, if you're waiting at the light behind another car, and they don't see the green light, do you hit the horn or rev the engine?
This also applies to any other time you need to get one's attention.

I hate when impatient drivers blare their horn at me after 2 milliseconds of green. So if I'm behind someone I like to give them a few seconds before I give them a light multi tap of the horn. That way they hear the honk but it's more of a "Polite" honk.

Ya, I don't get impatient after only 2sec. Sometimes, it takes awhile to get in gear so I understand. But after 5+ sec I rev it up a bit.

Sadly enough, I've had this happen to me. Then the guy raced ahead of me, cut me off, then slammed on his brakes to a complete stop. Idiot coulda
ing killed someone.

I usually wait a few seconds..
Yesterday I was waiting at a light and I was the first one there. As soon as the light turned green the ass behind me honked! What a jerk, I swear, not even a second passed by.
