Today, I woke up at 6:00 am to the sound of somebody laying on their horn outside my apartment. I ran outside to yell at them only to find out it was my car. The horn was shortcircuting. All my neighbors stood on their porch laughing as I repeatedly punched my steering wheel to make it stop. FML
I agree, your life sucks (13867) - you totally deserved it (1652)

That would be really embarrassing. Sorry OP. I am wondering how effective punching the steering wheel was in remedying this.
very effective if your goal was to accomplish nothing.

Back in my day we either pulled the fuse or unhooked the battery.

god damn I would have loved to have seen you driving to the mechanics with your horn going off
"omg, wtf is that guy behind me beeping for, its a red light you dickhead!"
Aha. Hey man, try not to think too much FML. It's a funny story. Laugh with your neighbors and it'll be much better.

oh man same thing happened to my roommate a couple years ago. We spent the entire day listening to someone laying on the horn off and on again, finally went outside to yell at them only to find it was his car. Totally hilarious.

The same thing happened to me I was at my girlfriends house it was in the afternoon and heard somebody leaning on the horn a was getting pissed my girlfriends mom came home and asked my why my car was honking at her. My problem was water had gotten into the relay under the dash and shorted it out to stop it I had to pull the relay out to stop it and when i got a new relay my horn sounded like crap it got burnt out for honking so much. lol

why would you disconnect the battery? just disconnect the horn.

You think the OP would know where to even look to disconnect the horn? At least the battery is out in the open staring her in the face.
No, actually this does suck for most modern cars. Disconnect the battery and you lock out the stereo system and now you have to figure out the code to get it to work again (same goes for other some electronics). Usually the horn fuse is in an auxiliary fuse panel that you have to remove a kickboard to access. your best bet it to beat on the steering column until it stops and then get the steering wheel puller out (if you have one) to get at the little spring loaded contact that is causing this. Sucks, had to take care of this one before. FYL.
At least they just laughed at you. This could have been worse if a neighbour came out with your intentions, or to kick your ass. Take it as a story you'll ALL laugh about later.
That's hilarious. You should've just popped the fuse out. But at least they all laughed rather than yelled, like you did. :P
Either you're joking, or you're an ass.
There're a lot of things I know how to do, but fixing a car horn isn't one of them...
remove the fuse from the fuse box. in the car guide it will show you were it is.
