My favorite drivers are the ones that give just a single pulse of their turn signal while they're already in the process of switching lanes. It's so useless of a gesture that I have to think they're doing it on purpose just to make people mad.

Either that or they think it will give them plausible deniability if they get in a wreck. Who fucking knows? Maybe they think turn signals are some weird social tradition passed down for generations and the original meaning is lost.

On one hand, if you signal to change lanes, the fucker in the other lane will speed up to try to prevent you from changing lanes, but on the other hand, not signaling makes you an asshole. Signaling whilst you are changing lanes or already in the fucking turn lane or hit the brakes is also asshole territory.

So many options to being an asshole. Not being an asshole seems like it would be so much simpler for people. Lots of tough guys with a vendetta against the world when they get behind the wheel. They could let you fill that empty space in front of them, but they're gonna speed up because fuck the world, they don't let anyone lead them.

On a related traffic tangent, it's not frequent, but I'm seeing more and more people casually blow solid red lights than ever before. The same day I saw on/off turn signal guy, I saw someone slow down to "allow" a car on the cross street to go, and then he just casually continued. He was actually driving under the speed limit the entire time. I'm not sure he is even aware that there are any traffic laws.
