Omg. Minutes? Whole minutes?
What is this, Logan's Run?
Yeah that's incredibly rude to waste that much of someone's time because you're too selfish to just pay attention to the road. 'I want to look at my phone for 10 more seconds so I'm going to make a stranger lose 3 minutes of their day' is absurdly selfish.
I actually agree. It is selfish.
In the context of the OP though, laying on the horn as soon as the light goes green (and ignoring the possibility red light runners) is stupid.
Anecdotally, I decided one day to stop caring if I did get "stuck" at the lights for an extra sequence. I'm considerably more relaxed when driving now.
