One place I will honk, and I just tap the horn, is sitting at a red light and it turns green and the person in front of me doesn’t go and it’s obvious they aren’t paying attention because they’re looking at their phone. Really annoys me.

PSA:
Use Your Horn
Only when necessary, to avoid collisions.
To try to get “eye contact” with other drivers. You may tap your horn to alert another driver who might turn in front of you and cause a collision.
On narrow mountain roads, where you cannot see at least 200 feet ahead of your vehicle.
Don’t Use Your Horn
If a driver or bicyclist is going slowly, and you want him or her to drive faster or get out of your way. The driver or bicyclist may not be able to safely go faster, due to
illness, being lost, intoxication, or having mechanical problems with the vehicle.
To alert other drivers that they made a mistake. Your honking may cause them to make more mistakes or to become angry and retaliate.
Because you may be angry or upset.
To honk at pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists unless necessary to avoid a collision. Remember that your horn sounds much louder outside a vehicle.
NOTE: Honking your horn may startle other drivers. It is safer to slow down or stop instead of honking your horn.

It's biblical: Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the horn of fools.

I think most use it as an extension of their anger. That's why I 'tap'. It sounds more polite. :)
I have a sermon about “horn honkers”. One woman came to me several weeks later saying she thought I was meaning “dont be a whoremonger”. She has trouble with hearing.
