A friendly message to all those unfortunate people that do not have a cell phone or lack any patience or consideration for others. If you are still the person that drives to a house and honks the horn to let someone know you are there, that is fine.
Now, one honk seems fine, or a bit longer honk followed by a quick second honk should be plenty to alert a person, because i know it alerts me several houses down.
This is the important part, WAIT at least one to two minutes before honking again, I know being patient when you are in a hurry is very hard, just keep looking at the door as if to speed them up. Now, after a couple minutes has passed, feel free to remind them you are there and in a hurry by pressing the horn with 2 quick short bursts. That should get your point across and not piss off everyone around you. Failure to follow steps could result in bad behavior.
lets analyze what extended noisy honking does, just to the person you are waiting for, not counting the people you see coming to yell at you or flatten your tires.
the two main scenarios i see are as follows: while you are so rudely honking your horn like a jackass, the person inside is going to get nervous, frustrated, and try to rush even more to accommodate your impatient soul and while they rush more, they forget more and actually take longer to leave.
Second scenario is that you are really trying to be an ass with the person inside and keep honking, the person gets pissed and takes even longer just to piss you off, and those situations you lose the power because you may have the car, but chances are, you care more about the person going then they do.
I know there are many different disabilities that you think may require you to honk so much, but if thats the case, you should probably be nicer and go knock on the damn door and help them to the car.
Anyways, quit fricken honking your damn horn and pissing me off!!
