Oh boy is that a sore spot with me. I HATE THAT. It’s actually an passive-aggressive power play. I have right of way but I grant you permission to go as a boon.
As a counter-argument, I will do this sometimes if I am unsure as to who has the right-of-way. I'd rather make sure both myself and the other driver are on the same page instead of assuming one way or the other.
My personal pet peeve are drivers who treat entrance/exit lanes as extra passing lanes on the highway. This might be particularly endemic to Northern Virginia, but it is extremely annoying.
Really? You mean the pass on the right in the entrance lane? I’ve never seen that myself. Pretty dangerous I’d say.

This and its many permutations is actually EXTREMELY dangerous activity. Whatever the reason, a person is attempting to change the written rules of the road between himself and one other driver, when there are more than likely others who would be impacted, (no pun intended), by the misguided effort. I have seen more close calls than I care to think about when people engage in this stupidity.
