As soon as I signal to chane lanes, that entire lane speeds up to fill the gaps and prevent me. Signaling late and catching them off guard seems to be the only way to change lanes these days.
I would love to signal earlier, but the sad reality is that drivers in the city have no courtesy and use your signals against you.
and then right before I get home, this bozo runs the 3-way stop without even slowing down a touch.
This arrogance of people in the city is rubbing off on the driving, and my middle finger is almost perminently outstretched.

I very rarely have this problem, to be honest. Thought I know exactly what you mean. Basically, I'll signal well ahead and begin moving into the lane. I have no problem cutting those people off, and their angry stares only enhance my happiness.
What urks me are the people who do the random traffic weaving, jerking from lane to lane with little warning and no signal. That is how accidents occur. If people are informed about what is going on, the chances of an accident are reduced greatly. And that makes me argue for people to stop being childish on the road and actually use their signal lights properly.
