Absolutely.
And the converse of this is when motorists don't take the right of way when it's theirs to take, which I also hate. The upshot is, if you have the ROW, take it. If someone else has it, yield it. If everyone follows these simple rules, we'll all get along better.
Occasionally, a right turning vehicle will put their turn signal on a good distance before they actually make their turn, which I appreciate. (A lot of people put on their signal
as they're turning, which entirely defeats the point.) But then they'll stop and wait for me to pass on their right, which I just will not do. I'll either go around on the left, or stop, put a foot down, cross my arms and make a big show about how I'm waiting for them to turn. I've had people exasperatedly shoo me forward with their hand, like I'm causing them an inconvenience by waiting for them to turn.
