A video of a man exiting his Jeep and dancing to troll a truck driver honking his horn in New York has gone viral. The man dances for a full minute to irritate the obnoxious truck driver.
Brian Cheung, a reporter for Yahoo Finance, captured the footage from his apartment window and posted it to Twitter. Cheung also posted a music version and later connected with the man, who gave the reporter permission to post their text messages.
The video shows the man sitting in his Jeep at a traffic light when the semi-truck driver behind him begins honking the massive horn. Cheung heard the honking horn and recorded the showdown with his cell phone.
“Call it news instincts or a NY mentality, but when someone is holding the horn for more than 30 seconds you know something’s about to go down,” wrote Cheung.

“He honked soon as the light turned green literally Lmfaoo so I waited and then went in and got sturdy.”
Cheung asked the dancing man if he was slow at the green light and noted that the traffic in the area was crazy. The man answered that he wasn’t slow, and the truck driver had begun honking as soon as the light changed.
The man verified his identity with a picture of his Jeep and Travis Scott Air Jordan 6 British Khakis. The dancing king said that the truck driver laid on the horn as the light turned green, prompting his impromptu performance.
