10. Wave you through a stop sign even though they were there first.

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.

Nuts. Just follow the rules.

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.

A little courtesy never killed anyone. Maybe I have the right to make my turn, but it's easier to negotiate the turn if I wave someone else out of the way first.

When I'm out riding my bicycle, my view is that they are hoping I'll go in front of them so that they can have a better chance at hitting me. ;-)

I just sit there and shake my head at them and refuse to go. They always give in and go ahead of me. lol In my mind, those types are the kind that might wait for you to go and then run into you and say you ignored the right of way.
