There is a car across from me also waiting.  The light turns green.  The car across from me has no blinkers on, so I assume he is going to go straight.  And, he does.  I am turning left, so I wait for him to clear the intersection.  <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, another car has approached the intersection from that same direction.  He also does not have a blinker on, so I slowly enter the intersection intent on waiting for him to go straight, then I will go.  But, no, wait, he wants to turn right.  Not a problem, I can still go after him.  <\/p>\n<p>But, instead of turning right and just going and getting out of my way, this car stops at the line, angled right, with his right blinker on.  I&#8217;m still waiting.  Then, he sticks his arm out of the window and waves me on.<\/p>\n<p>WTF?  He has right of way.  If he had just freaking gone, it would have taken up less of my time.
