I don't know about you, but I find the situation this lady was in quite stressful. You never really know what's the best way to deal with it, and the fact is no one way will work as good on all occasions.
So here you are, driving your car down a road, albeit inside a shopping center's carpark. You're looking for somewhere to park so you're going pretty slow, meaning the engine noise is at a minimum.

In front of you, a couple is walking in the middle of the two lanes. You're still at a distance, so you maintain speed and hope they will move to the side by the way you reach them. You notice there is no sidewalk so you can't be too hard on them for pretending to be vehicles.

But then you end up right behind them, and they still don't move. Instead, they keep walking at the same slow pace, and God knows how much they still have to go until they reach either their car or the mall's entrance. You don't really feel like waiting. Besides, they are on the road, after all.

So you're left with a few options. You can open the window, put your head out and try clearing your throat. If that doesn't work, you can say "excuse me," and hope to get some attention. If that still doesn't work, then it's time to yell something you've learned in high school that you haven't used in a while. That should get their attention.

Or, you could put the gearbox in neutral and rev the engine a little. However, you need to make sure you disengage the wheels, or you'll end up in prison (and probably in hell as well) for manslaughter.

Finally, you can honk your horn discreetly and hope you don't startle them too hard. That's what this lady chose to do, but it backfired severely. After the "little toot," as she puts it, the man turns around and gives her the finger.

Showing her ancestors were probably British at some point, she remains remarkably calm and polite while she explains the man he maybe shouldn't be walking down the middle of the driveway. Instead, he jumps in front of her car in an attempt to prove a point only he understands.

She appears to bump into him, which makes the man go berserk and start kicking the moving car. He does it once, and the recoil pushes him back, nearly knocking him over. The second time he isn't so lucky, so he ends up where he belongs: down on the ground. We doubt the driver took her chances and got out of the car after this incident, but at least she has it all on camera in case the idiot wants to press charges. It would be nice if he did, though. He would get humiliated for a second time. If only he had raised his hand to apologize instead of insulting the driver, none of this would have happened.
