The only polite way is to lay on the horn non-stop while following them to their destination (so they know you’re there), when they stop, get out, approach them as quickly as possible (to be respectful of their time) to thank them for going
Yup. A quick tap of the horn or double tap is fine. Even a 1 second blast. Once we get into 2 seconds blast territory, it transitions to rude, with 3+ seconds going up linearly on the deranged jackass scale
I saw some video of an infuriatingly positive and giggly guy mod his horn this way. To add insult to injury iirc (which is about 50/50 after so many years) he used an arduino to do it. Video got a gazillion likes and many supporting comments. It unexpectadly became the last straw before deleting my facebook account.
Dependent on the length of the horn blast, however

If said this for years, cars need a secondary polite horn

I know… I’m no fun.
What about a third, really aggressive horn that’s just a train horn?
No, you just play thomas the tank engine theme
