Regarding driving: no. I’ve just moved to the area. Never have I encountered so many people trying to let me into traffic when they actually have the right of way.

I wish people wouldn’t try to be “polite” about this stuff as I actually think it’s more dangerous. Pulling out of a parking lot the other day and traffic stopped in both directions to let me out. Stop stopping and just drive!

That’s true, it’s dangerous the way some stop. That merge in 37 in Cranston where they replaced the bridge has a stop sign now, it’s been about 4 times I’ve been stopped waiting for clear traffic and people will come to a stop to let me in. Coming to a stop there is crazy dangerous, not sure where that was taught in drivers Ed, but it is common to hold up a line of traffic to let one person go.
