And show them how to close a FUCKING DOOR WITHOUT SLAMMING IT?

Jesus Christ, they are not even attached to our house - our front doors face each other - but EVERY TIME they go out they slam the sodding door. Noisy bastards.

And their son is surgically attached to his car seat, so when he picks one of them up he sits in the car and beeps the fucking horn ten times, rather than getting out and going to the front door. So you get the beeping, then the slamming.

They're quite nice really. But it is doing my chump in.

It's one of those noises that eventually makes you just snap.

You get families that are like this. They don't realise. The children follow the habits of the parents.

A few years ago there was a similar horn blasting neighbour near me. One day I was actually out in the front garden so when he pulled up and starting beep-beeping I ran over with a concerned look on my face. "Are you alright?! Do you need some help?" I said. He looked confused and said yes I'm fine. "Oh" I said "I thought you were trying to get some attention, needed assistance, felt ill...." "No he said "I'm just picking up [neighbour]" "Don't they come if you knock on the door then?" I said. --- he never did it again.

If you get on well with this family you could mention it to them, but there is a chance they could do it all the more if they know it upsets you.
You could mention the car beeping to the PCSOs if they do the rounds near you.
