I knew someone who didn't use a blinker and this was their justification, and I'm like my guy you're in Seattle now; people will drive dangerously in order to let you merge when they really shouldn't!
I'm glad I'm not crazy! Coming from Texas, the many times I've driven in and around Seattle, they are 100% like this.
