Learn the Rules!

I just experienced another incident at the 4 way stop that makes me crazy. If you understand who has the right of way at such an intersection, then you know what I mean. It's that guy who is so gracious and patient, that he always waves you through the intersection. But he's not really being gracious or polite at all. He waves you through because he hasn't got a clue as to who actually should be going first and this is the solution to his ignorance. On occasion, I've stubbornly out waited them and then yelled, "LEARN THE RULES!!!" when they pass by. I didn't do that today, but the idiot did have that look on his face that annoys the hell out of me. It's sort of like he's going to let you go first, but he wishes you'd hurry up about it as he waves you through. And the wave has a certain impatience to it as well as a hint of command behind it. Of course, he was waiting at a full stop when I got to the intersection so it makes me wonder WTF he thinks the rules actually are.
