The places this happens are on four-lane roads with left-turn lanes at the intersections with lights (six lanes total at the intersections). The right lane is for straight and right-turning traffic. I stop far enough left that a "typical" vehicle can squeeze by me to the right; generally this is in or very near the left tire-track of the fairly narrow lane.

Sometimes I'm certain this is just impatience but other times it just seems like the person isn't sure how to act. I'm *trying* to indicate my intent with lane position, but it's just not working 100%. Is it my fault? Could be, I suppose. I welcome input from others.
