The people that drive up to my neighbor across the street to pick someone up. Instead of calling or going to the door and ringing the doorbell, they honk their horn. Repeatedly. And they keep doing it until the person comes out.
What makes this worse is that they'll do this late at night. It's 11pm, dark, and I'm trying to get everyone settled for the night. Suddenly: HONK! HONK HONK! HOOOOOOONNNNNKKKKK! HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK! HONK! HOOOOOOONNNNNKKKKK!
Just get out of your car and go to the door already. You don't need to wake up the entire neighborhood just to tell one person in one house that you're there.
Where I live it's only legal to use the horn to prevent serious situations, so someone doing this could (and would) be fined by police/eventually lose their license.
Even in places where this isn't directly illegal, is it illegal to make loud noises after certain hours? If so, that could be a reason to call the police or make some kind of official complaint against the driver.
Also, have you tried talking to this person? Maybe they don't realize that its disrupting literally everyone (a lot of people forget that other people are not just NPCs).
