Beeping Outside People's Houses
Discussion
Why do some people think it's ok to beep their horn outside other people's houses to announce their arrival or departure, to me this seem very inconsiderate. I understand why some people do it when trying to pick someone up, but it still seems rude to disturb everyone living near by because you don't want to get out and ring a door bell.
But i really struggle to understand why people need to beep when they are going, just why what are they trying to communicate? surely they just said bye to the person they are beeping at, do they really need to beep as they drive away? some times i see people do it while waving at each other.

My word, you have had a boring day.But i really struggle to understand why people need to beep when they are going, just why what are they trying to communicate? surely they just said bye to the person they are beeping at, do they really need to beep as they drive away? some times i see people do it while waving at each other.
i'm with the op. it's unnecessary and annoying.
slightly off topic, I would hazard a guess that they are the same sort of people who walk into a pub / restaurant en masse and proceed to take over the place, moving chairs and tables around etc, just to accommodate themselves.
in other words, they are inconsiderate and lacking self awareness.

How did you put your bin out while he was having a party the week before? Did you go back in time?da bit like a neighbour who complained when I put my recycling bin out at 7pm on a summers evening in the middle of August

OP: do you live in Somerset?
When we first moved here the first thing we noticed was how much people peep their horns as they drive round the village. It is of course de rigeur to peep on arrival at, and departure from any place where you are meeting others.
I'm fairly certain some of my neighbours peep their horn as a greeting when they drive past the houses of friends and families - it's bizarre.
When we enquired about this early on, the locals we asked said they'd never really noticed, but when we have visitors from outside the area, some have remarked on it too.
