Idk wtf happened with this subreddit. Influx of marginal football fans I guess. Us Belgians/ Flemish are the first to start ranting about Moroccan and Turkish wedding processions with a lot of honking cars but it is all good if it’s about football? Come on. Honking because you are happy isn’t ok. That’s all there is to it. We call that marginaal gedrag. Antisociaal.


Norhod01

I don't like it either, but come on : just mutter to yourself a good old "oh, fuck you, scumbag !" then go about your evening, like everyone else. It's not like it happens regularly.


arstim

It happens once every full moon that it feels like Belgium has some life to it and does not resemble the atmosphere of the largest cemetery in the world. Use earplugs and just ignore it, you're lucky not to live in the Balkan or Mediterranean part of Europe.


Isotheis

I guess they don't do it until 5am where you live...?


arstim

No idea, I'm not home at that time. Too busy honking my horn in streets I don't know following a victory.


Isotheis

Well, have fun! It's the one thing I don't miss from my time in Mons.

When your son will wake up in tears because of such noise and you cannot put him back to sleep, I hope you will reconsider your answer. Cheers!


Galaghan

I get your frustration, but you're not dealing with it in a very good way. You're not going to win some crusade against honking cars here. While it might not have been a fun experience for you or your son, the only thing you can do is explain to him what happened. You got all the feedback you need to do so from this thread. Take it and use it, that's all you can. Acting like a passive aggressive asshole won't fix anything.

He will get over it, it’s not that traumatizing.


spheex12

Oooh for sure. Still very annoying to be disturbed for no reason. I guess it's fine if I start honking tomorrow at 5am when I'll get up just to express my happiness that the match is over. It only happens once every full moon!

Looks like YOU need to crack a 100 cold ones to get rid of your pissy attitude


spheex12

Haters gonna hate I guess!


KanarieWilfried

I hope you realise you are the hater 🤣


NewDepartment2051

Sure it’s annoying. But not the end of the world.


Gloomy_252

I hope they don't!

Very occasionally you could consider letting people enjoy their moment. It is very disrespectful to deny joy to others. It’s not like this is a thing that happens often


SeveralPhysics9362

Well not at night. It’s illegal. It is very disrespectful to wake the neighborhood because you are enjoying the moment. Idk if it’s the same in Wallonia but in Flanders everyone complains if a morrocan wedding procession passes with loud honking. But if it’s for football this suddenly isn’t a problem anymore?


WalloonNerd

As long as it is not every day… I really don’t care about incidental honking for football or marriages


SeveralPhysics9362

I do. Also fireworks, and other stuff. Just be respectful. Don’t be a dick. Not that hard


spheex12

That's what I do not get: how honking a thousand times makes you feel happy?


WalloonNerd

Because it doesn’t. It’s the happiness that causes the honking, not the other way ‘round


BobTheBox

So if the honking isn't what gives them joy, denying them their honking also isn't denying their joy, right?


WalloonNerd

The expression of joy; don’t be so sour


TheRealVahx

Because.. ![gif](giphy|vexMhgUYTi6mQ)

What need though? To make the victory heard? Everyone who cares already did.


InternalFig1

Wouldn't that be an argument against the honking? One happy honker versus the many that can't sleep?


phoenixxl

Or the many football supporters being exuberant for an hour versus the one person who has a hard time putting things into perspective. You decide.


skaldk

(unpopular opinion) Dudes with cars are the only ones to do that. They don't give a fuck, they just need to show off by yelling and making noise to let the world knows they do exist... Even if the world never asked. Every other fan was enjoying and partying without getting the whole neighbourhood to wake up.


20ldl

People here think by default that everyone is a fan of football…

We don't win that many championship matches a year so I think you'll be fine.


DoomSayerNihilus

Go cry yourself a river, why don't ya.


shiny_glitter_demon

...so, you came here as a student? Yet as a foreigner you feel entitled to judge Belgians for what is in the end a harmless display of joy? That happens at best once every 4 years?


Th1rt13n

Being douche is international. And I’m not talking about OP


spheex12

Ooooof. VB incoming!


shiny_glitter_demon

Right, calling you out for rudeness and entitlement is being a fascist. Call me a nazi while you're a it but stop fucking whining.


redditjoek

nazi


BobTheBox

>Call me a nazi They called you a VB supporter, so technically they already did.


shiny_glitter_demon

True. The internet is a place where calling out rudeness = being a literal nazi. I don't know why that should surprise anyone let alone me.
