A very Roman situation

I was walking home from school the other day and ran into a situation that I felt was very typical.

I live on the edge of a piazza, and there is a large parking lot in the middle. It is a square and two sides are one ways, so there is an entrance on one side and an exit on the other. A car was blocking the exit, while another car was trying to get out and the woman trying to get out was honking like crazy. As I got closer to the cars I easily realized that the car blocking the exit was empty, and I'm sure the other woman could tell, but she was still honking. And I'm talking laying her hand on the horn for 30+ second intervals. This went on for as long as it took me to get into my building and walk up four flights of stairs and into my apartment and then some.

That's Rome for ya.
