OK, So you approach a stop sign. Normal.
But WAIT! There are 3 other cars there! All at the same time! What do you do?! You all stop.
Nervous glances are exchanged across the intersection as 4 cars sit, unmoving. The rule is "the guy on your right goes first." Who goes?! Everyone's on someone's right! How do you know what to do?!
I hate this predicament. Fortunately for me, there are those A-type personality-having selfish people who will take charge and go first.
Oh, and another driving woe. Have you ever noticed that every time there is something slow moving on your side of the road--be it a walker or a biker or just a big slow-moving vehicle with its flashers on--there will inevitably be a car coming toward you just as you want to pass him/her/it. Always. Without fail. And in the case of walkers and bikers, that is incredibly obnoxious. There is enough room to go, and there will almost always be someone behind you, so stopping to let the oncoming car pass is silly. There is just enough room to make it between the biker/walker and the oncoming car. But it's scary and nerve-wracking.
You probably don't understand what I'm describing, so here's an impossible-to-decipher psuedo-3-d drawing to clarify... or make it harder to understand.

TRUE. This ALWAYS happens. Whenever I try to swerve out to pass a parked car, a biker, dog walker, anything, there's always something else coming! It is the most frustrating thing ever.
When all the cars are there at the same time, you execute the "run and gun". Just floor it. If someone hits you, it's their fault because you were CLEARLY there first.
