A blinker is a warning...

...NOT a request!!

I don't live in that large of a city. We don't have huge traffic congestion issues. Somehow despite the situation, I still occasionally encounter the odd jerk who decides that because I WARNED him that I was about to move to his lane in front of him by using my blinker, HE SPEEDS UP!!

Well, as the title indicates, a blinker is NOT a request.

On the few times that I've encountered such jerks, I've simply swerved within my lane to make it appear that I'm going to side-swipe them. They honk and slam on the brakes in their pretty new truck and leave a convenient gap in their lane. Which obviously I move into since I had my blinker on and intended on going there anyway.

It's awfully fun!

You know what's even better? Shocking the heck out of folks that have THEIR blinker on to move in front of you and actually SLOWING DOWN to let them in! Try it some time when the opportunity arises. It may actually release the tension in your trip and give you the good feeling that you helped someone else's journey home or to work be that much more pleasant!
