Adventures in Social Etiquette!

[Razgovory]

A few hours ago I had to drive to the store and pick up a few things.  Unfortunately there was a hitch.  When I came outside I found two people standing in the middle of the street and in front of the driveway chatting.  They apparently were walking dogs, as they both had a dog on a leash.  I suppose it's also possible they were dog thieves and had stolen the dogs or the dogs were the ones running show and they were walking the people.  It was dark and kinda hard to see, but it was my impression that they had been walking the dogs and decided to stop and talk.  I imagine they probably lived in the neighborhood but, I don't know any of the neighbors.  Anyway, the point is I was blocked in the drive way and couldn't leave.  I wasn't sure what to do in such a position, and of course didn't have time to ask Languish.  So I'll ask now and find out if my response was appropriate.

A light tap on the horn.

Start backing/driving out slowly until you are noticed...most people, if they're of decent character, will take note that they are being a impedance, and politely move out of the way.

[Ed Anger]

Pull out my 9 and open fire.

[Grey Fox]

Shotgun blast to the face of the furthest one away. Next move is either blasting the other or a dog, it's up to you.

Well I have been trying broaden my response patterns beyond "Fight or Flight".  My social worker told me that hiding from the mail man is not a productive use of my time.

[Josquius]

Give them a few seconds and try indicating them and the driveway with just your eyes. If they don't get the point that the car stopped right by them wants to park then open the window and say excuse me. No big deal.

Pull out my 9 and open fire.

Also known as "the American response".

The answer depends on what kind of car you have.  Not every car can effortlessly roll over a body.

[Sheilbh]

Hover by the car until they move. If they don't then say something like 'sorry, but do you mind if I just reverse out'. If that doesn't work: panic.

[PDH]

Get in the car and back slowly toward them.  If they refuse to move, use the horn.  If they still refuse to move try the "Star Spangled Banner" on the horn.

For some reason I keep thinking that Shelf's avatar is a chicken.

[CountDeMoney]

Well?  What did you do? Or are you still in the car, waiting for them?

[HVC]

They probably just moved as soon as they noticed he was preparing to leave. A confrontation of some type would be funnier though.
