You just hit one of my hot buttons, especially people who stop before you do, and it is clearly their turn to go, and then motion you across with their hand when it is their time to go. "DON'T TELL ME HOW TO &*()ING DRIVE, YOU MORON!" is usually what is heard out of my car screaming at them.

O.k., I'll lay off the coffee a while. You would think it is people who go before their turn at a 4-way stop that aggravates me the most, but it is these people who really grate at me.

How about the idiots who don’t go straight through when the car across from them is going straight through? Or those who try to follow the car in front of them?

I never wave drivers on. It's a habit I picked up in the FD. If you wave a driver in, you assume responsibility for their safe passage, although it would be difficult for the other driver to prove you waved them on.

Friend of mine made a call on Interstate 35 where a driver had broken down on the inside lane. Some woman pulled over and waved for him to come over, as she had a cell phone. The guy stepped right in front of an eighteen wheeler. You know how far people get knocked in accidents sometimes? My buddy said this guy was stuck to the front grille like a bug.

I've seen several accidents where people waved someone through and they pulled out in front of another vehicle. In relation to your original post, a lot of people do not realize that just because they're willing to let another car through, that does NOT mean that everyone else who has the right of way is willing to give it up.
