I've gotten quite used to the sound of traffic outside my window, but today a guy was trying to pull out of a parking place and his horn got stuck on. It just blared and blared for almost 10 minutes, which starts to make your neurons tremble after a while. The guy put his hood up and started tinkering around with things, clearly baffled. A guy pulled over and got out shouting "just hit it man!". So he hopped back into the car and started smacking the steering wheel which only caused a bit of staccato. By then, someone was waiting for him to pull out so as to take the parking space. He too hopped out of his car and started tinkering around. Traffic started to back up, and irritible drivers started honking their horns too. The caucauphany was mind-numbing. Then somehow, it stopped.

Naturally I googled some advice during this escapade. Here it is - memorize it in case this ever happens to you.
