The same second? I agree. But even two seconds should be plenty to notice the light is green and begin accelerating. By second four, I'm giving you a gentle honk because I suspect you are either on your phone, or zoned out.
Every time I see one of these memes posted, I automatically assume it was some dill hole on his/her phone not paying attention and posts this to try to justify or feel better. I've never run into anyone that is that impatient at a light. People honk because you're not paying attention, and in this day and age it's usually peeps on their phone.
I've seen people like that super often, I've never measured but I've probably seen impatient honkers more than I've seen actual distracted people at a light. Your experience is not global.
You must live in Boston.
