Another nuisance in aviation in which a horn would be handy is
refueling.
One is waiting in line for fuel and you see a guy refuel and walk away
to pay instead of pushing his plane aside for the next one.


I can recall a few occasion where a horn would have come in very
handy. Of course, in the case of the guy who walks in to pay the
bill, it's unlikely a horn would make a difference. It's pretty
obvious that you're sitting there with your engine running. Some
people just don't care.

Worst case I had was a guy who parked his Baron at the self-serve
pump in Fairbanks. He left the plane blocking the pumps while he went
into the lounge to take a shower!
