Pedestrian Horn

Wouldn’t it be a good idea? Man-portable and deafeningly loud, the pedestrian horn can be used against clueless motorists and pedestrians alike. The slow-walker couple who were barricading the sidewalk? The dude that nearly ran me over in mid-crosswalk? They’d still be cleaning the blood out of their now-useless ears, right now.

Coming soon: the pedestrian siren.

    I used to want a cattle prod that would electrocute people who don’t get out of the elevator fast enough.

    perhaps you could include that as an attachment?

    Oh, good plan. As long as it’s still man-portable, I say we rebrand: PedestroProdHorn™.

    Hmmm… a little close to ‘pedo’, maybe. We don’t want to get into that market.

    maybe podia – of or relating to the feet? PodiaProdHorn?
    sounds like something I would use to poke your feet… not so good…

    maybe Personal Prod?
    ew. i’m unintentionally getting dirty…

    I’ll leave the naming genius to you, D. I’ll just buy one of the damn things.

    How about a personal attachment that resembles an old school train front, for pushing cows?

    Ah, the pedestrian SUV? With cattle-catcher?
