What you described is definitely worse, but one of my pet-peeves is when drivers put their turn signal on AFTER slowing way down for their turn. It makes it seem like they're just braking for no reason and might do something crazy like swerve across lanes.

The turn signal is meant to inform other drivers of your intentions before you make a move, not after.

Yes, exactly!

Taking it to another level, my pet-peeve recently is drivers signaling the opposite direction they’re turning. I see it all the time (at least in the past few years) and I can’t figure out where the logic comes from.

I think part of that is caused by stupid turn signal designs that don't stay in place, so to cancel a signal you have to push it in the opposite direction. And people can't figure out how to get them to work properly.
