Are they that stupid they don't know the rules, or are they just inconsiderate or in la la land?

If you look at the arrows left laner can exit the roundabout at the second, third and 4th exit if they desire to to all way Around. If you was behind some one in the right lane and YOU didnt exit at the first exit. YOU have to yield cause the car to your left has the right away even if he's beside you. You hit him and you will get the ticket.
A friend was in almost same position as you except she was ahead of the left Lanier and at the second exit she got hit at the rear side and ticketed. If you look at the arrows RIGHT lanier must exit at the first exit to have the right away, other wise you half to yield cause you are exiting at the second exit or yield. ( which means you only have the right way at the first exit if cars beside you or slightly ahead of you.)
Even it you enter the round about with traffic in the round about you have to yield (which shouldn't be entering rouandabout when traffic in it and that means coming Around, if they don't have blinker light on that means they are coming around or the Are DSs that don't use blinkers lights.
That's what causes accidents, people can't follow the signs or arrow directed signs.
