I was entering the RB from 441 at Morse/Paige/El Camino Real. I slowed down to check for traffic coming around the RB to my left. I saw a car coming, and the driver put their turn signal on immediately after passing Paige, and they slowed down, in the outside lane. I thought - oh cool. They're exiting. So I sped up and entered the RB since they indicated they were exiting before they got to where I was.

I was wrong. They were just kidding. They had no intention of exiting at that exit. So they beeped and made nasty gestures to me - and tailgated me, beeping and gesturing and yelling at their windshield all the way to Banderas (which is where I turned to go to Publix).

All I could think about was - well - next time if they don't want to be inconvenienced by someone who is watching their movements to make sure it's safe to proceed, they should - be more accurate about the signals they're presenting.
