Pre-merging drives me nuts. But the gap-closure move is something I do, it's only done to drivers who are being selfish assholes, part of the "larger family of awful driving habits" as you say. 99% of drivers don't deserve or get this treatment. People doing this aren't saying "this is MY lane", they are saying "screw this asshole". Ha.

Guy in the next lane signals to get over I let him get over. Long line of traffic heading for a ramp and some guy comes racing up on the left with the idea of cutting into the line I might close the gap. It's still a jerk thing to do. Maybe he's an asshole trying to jump ahead in line; maybe he's someone who doesn't know the area and didn't realize they had to get over sooner--we've all been there. Anyway, someone else will let them in so my feeble attempts at enforcing courtesy go for naught.

Speaking of annoying merge behavior, sitting there not merging because you don't have a 2-semi-trucks-long length of space, while the car behind you waves you in... ugh just go you moron

I live in a small town in the narth its not the middle of nowhere but you can see nowhere from here, the people are chill cuz they can get anywhere in 5 minutes, most people will let you go ahead cuz they don't wana be thot of as impolite and they just have not much to worry about
In spite of the rules of the road at 4 ways stops nobody wants to go 1st and besides if they grew up here they don't know the rules. There arent any freeways to merge on so no probelm with that, In Food store lineups you probably know everybody in the line and/or the checker so you don't wana fuck that interaction up just chill and have a convo. Car wash has like 6 bays so how do you single lineup for that and besides its just not that busy
you folks otoh live down there in a seething mass of people in a hurryLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Ooh is it time to start bitching about bike/car interactions? My pet peeve is cars stopping for you when you're on a bike even though they have the right of way (and it's clear there is no risk of collision- like where you are stopped at a stop sign and the car doesn't have one). I used to try and wave them past to "teach them how to do it" but it's a lost cause, I usually just go now. But sometimes you can't because of other cars in other lanes etc- I wish they did a better job of teaching drivers not to do this in driver's ed and on license exams.

In a town I spend a lot of time in they often do this for cars. You'll be on a side road and pull up to a stop sign and a car on the main road, with no stop sign, will stop and wave you ahead. wtf? Fucking GO. Just follow the rules of the road and we'll all be fine.

That's exactly it. Somebody stupid or crazy enough to stop like that is probably gonna end up ramming you when you finally decide to go in front of them. No thanks.
