I had a similar experience at a drive-up window the other day... the guy in the car just in front of me was on the cellphone. We'd been waiting in a long line, and as the guy pulled up to the order box, and the employee asks for his order, the guy says "just a minute" and rolls up his window. I was instantly pissed, but I didn't do anything until I'd sat there waiting about two full minutes, and he was still chatting. Finally I honked at him and revved the engine, at which time he apparently asked the other party to hold on, and he ordered.
Now I wish I'd done more, and sooner, but at the time I was already in a bad mood, and didn't want to blow it out of proportion... so I did the calm-blue-ocean thing before reacting. But I think immediately leaning on the horn so he couldn't talk at all would have been more appropriate.
