A couple of people are in a vehicle, most often a car, and they're having an argument. Enraged one of them will get out of the car, slam the door, and start storming down the footpath while the other person drives slowly along while asking them to get back in.

Occasionally the argument will start before the couple gets into the car, and other times the "argument" will be closer to one person being silly and the other person trying to encourage them back into the car. However the main point is, traffic is going to slow.

The person in the car will be either very concerned, frustrated, or embarassed. Note that in romantic examples it is usually the female is the one walking but male examples do occur.
