If this has happened to you more than once you are the problem.

You forgot the 'grab a crowbar' part.
internet tough guy. Both of you . -
How often does this happen?
Sounds like you’re one of those idiots who’s on their phone during a red light and needs the car behind you to provide a wake up call.
I missed the change of the first traffic light I stopped at when I had just bought my first car, I had stopped so the light was hidden behind my rearview mirror, got a deserved honk
-
Put on the handbrake, get out of the car, and calmly ask them what the problem is.
Or just drive off. If you rise to every barb, you’re almost definitely going to end up with a severely painful, chronic erection. Getting shot or run over is also on the table.

Today one idiot honked me because I actually stopped at a red semaphore.

It's natural to take a second before taking off, either unintentionally or intentionally due to safety. Maybe leave on time to account for those extra few seconds that they are holding you up.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's not only natural, it's a good idea. Especially if you are crossing a large road.
I ride a motorcycle more often than not (see user name) and it's vital to ensure that the cross traffic is actually stopping when their light is red. You aren't "protected" because your light is green, and there's nothing physically stopping any asshole blowing the light and ramming into the side of you, probably without slowing down in the slightest first. That's because they're also staring at their phone. I can't even go a week anymore without watching some moron sail straight through a red light right in front of me such that if I hadn't spotted them first they would have run me over. And it's happening more and more often as drivers are more distracted than ever before. A couple of years ago I'd only see this sort of thing once every few months.

The last time I had to do this I pulled a rapier, actually. Although in my defense, the guy behind me jumped out with a tire iron first. It was purest happenstance that I had the thing in my back seat at the time but damned if the look on his face wasn't worth it.
I've recounted this tale before. I have to wonder how that guy tells people his side of that story...

If you get out of your car to confront everyone who honks at you, you’re eventually going to meet an even bigger asshole with a gun.

While it is rude to honk immediately when the light turns green, it is also true that taking too long to accelerate when the light changes severely reduces traffic flow and causes congestion. And this is commonly caused by distracted drivers. You are supposed to release your brake and begin moving at roughly the same time as the car in front of you, i.e. when the car in front of you turns off their brake lights or when the traffic signal turns green if you're in the front.
Edit: "Too long" realistically means anything more than half a second. If everyone's reaction time was one second it would reduce the number of cars per green light probably by half. That doesn't mean it's polite to honk after half a second but if your reaction time is that bad you should not be driving.

Do you not understand what, "the second the light turns green" means?
Do you not have yellow lights that tell that they are about to change?

Never happened to me before. Light goes green and I go. Why is driving so difficult for people

i will never understand why us traffic lights go immediately from red to green. you have a whole-ass third light to use for signaling that the light is about to change, so people don't have to floor it due to an unexpected change.

Motherfucker, if you're at the head of the line, its only common courtesy to shove your phone up your ass, and move! Do you think the light is gonna get greener? The fuck are you doing up there?

Lot of people in this thread thinking the split second the light turns green we need to gun it. Get fucked, I'm not on my phone and you're just an impatient asshole. No one owes you a jack rabbit start. Calm the fuck down and breath.

Do you want me to go the speed limit? Because that's how you get me to go the speed limit.
Same. I was in a hurry till you honked. Now all of a sudden I have all day and nowhere to be.

Do you see this little pedal under your right foot? Just fucking use it and nobody will be honking.

It is the drivers responsibility to ensure the intersection is clear of cars and pedestrians before proceeding. The green light doesn't immediately mean go, they may be waiting for a pedestrian to finish crossing or a car to clear after running a red.

Have you stopped on the rail tracks by any chance?
