I live in California now. From my experience people are quicker with the horn in bigger metro areas. There's always the one guy who has no patience - although I try to keep in mind that person might be justified in trying to get to a hospital or some other emergency.
But generally there is a progression to events which follows what one would expect when walking:
1- Polite "excuse me mis/sir/mam" - tap on the honk
2- Louder "EXCuse ME mis/sir/mam" - double tap/one a little louder
3- Very loud "EXCUSE ME PLEASE?" - loud honk
Inevitably, a significant percentage of the time I see this, the person that is being inconsiderate and blocking traffic/a doorway will be annoyed at the person trying to move around. I wonder if there is a study as to the percentage of the population that has this type of reaction.
