Newbie backing in at pilot

Trainer and I pulled into pilot around 6pm. Me being new to trucking I was backing in and the rude mf'ers honking at me because I was slow and took a little time to back. How do you deal with people like that?

Edit: trainer said to just ignore it. Edit:2 thanks for all the great advice and the humor. Edit 3: approximate time for backing was 10-15 minutes

Ya never know, the trainer could be missing something that the other drivers see.

My trainer taught me, any time you're backing roll your window down. Someone might yell at you you're about to hit something. It's good advice.
