-Why are you stopping? you have the right of way.
-Are you letting me go?
-Should I go, is that a hand signal? If I wait too long, will you drive on and broadside me?
-Are you going to move if someone behind you honks?
-I can't see in your tinted windows, are you waving at me or chasing a bee in the cab?

Don't do me any favors. When you have the right of way...GO. That's the kindest thing you can do for me. We all know our place and you doing what you are supposed to be doing means everything works as it should.
Absolutely!
