There is a long debated issue in our home on the correct usage of the car horn. My preference is to use the horn to get someone's attention. A quick "honk, honk" to say hi there, or the long "hoooonk" to say heellooo, I'm right here idiot. Either use is to say...here I am, notice me.
Scott on the other hand, uses the honk to show his displeasure. For example, we were driving down the road with Scott at the wheel. A car pulls out of the turn lane in front of us. I say puzzled, "that was the perfect situation for a honk and you didn't touch the horn?" Scott replies, "I gave him the stink eye, he just didn't see us. The horn is meant to show my displeasure. He didn't mean to cut us off."
I'm still scratching my head on this one.

all of the above. It's also good to get someones attention so you can then perform sign language to further display your displeasure. I find I have to use it more and more to get people moving at green lights, since in our society people have the attention span of a gnat with adhd. Heaven forbid you pay attention for 30 seconds on the light to turn green instead of texting tweeting or checking facebook. Here's a news flash, you aren't that interesting. No one is LOLing or cares that you just burped and sneezed at the same time and holding up traffic while you tweet about it should give me the right to drag you from your car and beat you with a sack of mashed potatoes. Why mashed potatoes, because then you'd actually have something interesting to share with all your electronic friends. Sorry can't make it to work today was beat unconsious with mashed potaoes LOL @#tatersack
