I think that people are doing this because they think that they are being polite, but it is actually dangerous.
When two cars approach an intersection, the one that gets their first has the right of way. If they both arrive at the same time, the one on the right should go first.
If everyone follows these simple rules driving would be much safer and less frustrating.
Now, I do have a question that possibly someone here can answer.
If two cars are approaching and intersection in opposite directions both arriving at the same time and one of them is going to make a left hand turn, which has the right of way? I'm guessing that the one going straight ahead does because when the car making the left hand turn turns, the other car is on the right.

Then there the ones that don’t stop 🛑. You’re NOT in line till you stop preferable behind the stop sign. IMO 4 way stops are the worse, half don’t stop and roll through the other have stops and afraid to pull out due the AH who won’t stop at the stop sign and does the roll out into the intersections, then looks at people stopped like jerk.
