I'm not annoyed, more entertained, because now instead of driving through the intersection she's just sitting at the green light.

Then I realize that I've been watching this gong-show for long enough that the light might not be green anymore. Nope. Solid red for me and green the other way as I'm sitting in the middle of the intersection pretending to wait for the left turn to clear. Then I'm worried some jack-a-nape in a red lumber-moving van is trying to pass my dumb self so I shoulder check everywhere before clearing the intersection to a chorus of honks.
