-When driving, and I get to an intersection, that has stop signs every way, at approximately the same time as another driver on the cross street, sometimes after I wave them through, the car right behind them just goes right on through without stopping (WTF?).

[/ QUOTE ]

I hate it when I get to a stop sign at the same time as another car and b/c I am not in any big hurry I decide to wave the guy through. The guy is looking right at me like an idiot and doesn't move even though I am motioning for him to drive. Well, since he won't go I figure someone needs to so I step on the gas and it never fails, as soon as I go it is like something triggers in their pea brain in which they too have to go. We both stop again, rinse repeat, wtf!

Maybe if you just went when it was your turn none of this would happen. FWIW, if someone at a four-way stop clearly has the right-of-way, I will usually ignore their offer to go first. I think this has to do with my driver ed training from twenty-five years ago.

Bad reading comprehension, or an assumption that people know who has the right of way in this case?

Tie always goes to the right at a 4 way, since they have the "right" of way.

When two cars get to a 4-way intersection at the same time, the car on the right has the right-of-way. I assume that most people know basic traffic rules.

t and others,

Another point re: apps, if it was really good and other people want some more too, it's easy to order more. Smart orderers can recognize this situation in advance and handle proactively!

Why do you always so eloquently point out the social retardation that plagues 2+2ers (including myself)?

I'll second people who don't make an effort to move out of the way in a confined area when its obvious I am try to make my way through politely.

Normally I just grumble to myself and try to squeeze by because I am a timid puss but today I was at the airport and late for a flight and I completely plowed into an [censored] who didn't move out of the way. It felt great. This guy was standing in a doorway facing me as I was trying to get through with two large boxes under my arms. I said "excuse me" as I got near but he didn't move and my right arm with the box underneath it shoved into him and I didn't look back.

I don't know why that type of thing gets me so much except for that when I notice someone coming my way that need to fit through I make an effort to get out of the way. Its common courtesy in my opinion.
