Sometimes, you have no choice but to treat people how they deserve to be treated. Reason and kindness can work with sensible strangers, but this insensitive dude was anything but sensible. If anything, he was just insensitive.

Not only did he leave the door to his driver's seat open in such a way that blocked the Redditor's vehicle from leaving the parking garage, but also when the Redditor tried to signal to this guy to close his door, the guy refused to listen as he was on a so-called "important" phone call. This kind of superiority complex deserves to be called out no matter who you are. No one should have to put their day on hold for a complete stranger just so they can close their car door. 

So, the Redditor decided to get petty and leave his hand on the horn so as to make this dude's phone call impossible to continue. That's what you get for being self-absorbed, dude!

    Recently I parked in an underground carpark at a small shopping centre. I parked nose in, next to a large pole on my left.

    There was an empty car space beside me when I went into the centre.

    When I returned to my car with a full shopping trolley, a man had parked next to me, reverse in. He was on his phone,

    standing in between my car and his, with his drivers door open. The door almost touching my drivers door.

    I have him a nod, to say hello, unloaded groceries into my boot and returned my trolley.

    When I came back to my car, I said "Excuse me please." so I could enter my car, thinking he'd realise I wanted to leave.

    He gave me the biggest sideways stinkeye, still talking on his phone, but did move slightly and close his door so I could get in my car.

    As soon as I'm in, he opens his door again. Now, if I had reversed, my wing mirror would have clipped his door. And I can't swing my car the other way because of the pole.

    I lower my window, ask nicely, "Excuse me, can close your door? So I can leave?"

    He glares at me, holds up a finger in a 'Wait!' gesture, and turns away.

    Ok. I close my window, lock the doors, look at him directly, and lay my hand on the horn.

    He spins around and oh, if looks could kill. He's still on the phone. My hand is still on the horn.

    He glares at me even harder. My hand is still on the horn. I raise my eyebrows and keep looking directly at him.

    He gets in his car and slams his door. I take my hand off the horn. "Thank you." I mouth at him with a sweet smile, and reverse my car.
