Default Beeping when turning car off.

I am not sure if this is the expected behavior, or not, but today (and at other times) I noticed that if you turn the car on when the door is open and turn the car off while the door is still opened, the car will beep and continue beeping when you close the door. The work around is to close the door while the car is on, then turn it off and then open the door (if you want to get out).
I don't do this regularly, but sometimes you want to move the car by a few feet.
Is this normal beeping?

Slightly off topic, why don't they use that nice lady (the one who talks to you when you press the phone off hook button) to tell you what you did wrong, instead of the beeping. Instead of hearing "beep...beep" she would say "close the door" or "buckle the seat belts". I know that there probably will be a lawsuit from a non-English speaking consumer if they did that, however.
