I was getting something from the sliding rear door of my van a few weeks ago. Some driver, being courteous in their own mind, bipped the horn while going past startled me causing me to hit my head and fall back into the road being only a fraction of a second from him rolling over my head with his back wheel.

The courteous thing to do, if your not sure there is space, is to stop and wait until the moving obstacles have cleared out of the way.
Reading the story... it sucks for everyone involved. This is one reason I never honk at motorcycles or bicyclist.
Horns are a hell of a lot louder when you're not in a vehicle. There is really no such thing as a 'friendly' beep.
