That's a quick way to tick me off, so I gave it a little boost and forced my way into the lane. Of course, the guy flips out and starts giving me the bird...

I've given up getting mad in merge lanes, and have actually started looking forward to these exchanges with a-holes when I try to keep the flow of traffic moving. I drive a rather large diesel truck, so I employ the "head fake", or the "drift". Start moving into their lane regardless of their position, (sometimes employing a subtle swerve) and so far I've been 100% successful in forcing the guy beside me to make space.
I wouldn't recommend doing it at high speeds though. It's mainly used when pulling the slow moving a-hole at the end of merge lanes, or when a road merges from two lanes to one
