Can you explain to me what it means to try to get the traffic light to change on Bush street? I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything.
replyIt was a not-particularly-amusing joke that people honk because doing so helps the light change. It doesn’t, of course, but I used to work at a building at the intersection of Bush and Sansome (I think), the Standard Oil Building, and every day at 5 PM the honking would put Bombay to shame.
