I, as well as the 50 cars behind me, were all annoyed, and it was a ridiculously dangerous thing to do when traffic has just started moving. I honked my horn to tell him to go.
He took grave insult at this and stayed stopped for 5-10 seconds longer than he needed to, presumably because he thought this would delay me longer that it delayed him somehow? Anyways, he finally started going. I switched lanes over to the left (I was going West on Glenmore) and he slowed down beside me and gave me the finger with a big grin on his face.
I'm not sure what victory he thought he got that day, but I wasn't about to tailgate him/get out of my truck and hit him with a baseball bat or anything like that.
I mean I hope he gets rear-ended next time he does that and his air bag jams his finger up his nose, but I'm not nearly stupid enough to get into a physical altercation over something so minor. I hope all of you are the same way, because the roads don't really need to get any more dangerous than they already are.

Phew, glad you used the amorphous blob instead of a gender, or else all the boldest text in that quote would be misleading!
