Yesterday I got cut off by someone in a Dodge Neon with a loud muffler. No signal, no courtesy "thank-you wave" in the rear view mirror. That's fine, Gretta the Jetta and I are polite. We understand our lane is where the cool kids roll and he wanted to join us.
Neon Leon then slammed on the brakes and pulled in to a parking spot along the curb. Again, no blinking light to indicate the upcoming transition in direction of travel....
I pulled up beside Neon Leon and rolled down my window. "Excuse me, your signal light is broken..."
Neon Leon "Pardon?"
Me: "Your signal light - it's burnt out. You changed lanes and cut me off, and your signal light wasn't on. It must not be working properly"
Neon Leon "Uh......... thanks.........."
I drive away smiling, knowing I had done my part for the better of mankind. hee hee hee.

That's brilliant! Its not even passive-aggressive. How wonderfully polite. Pure genius.
I normally just toot them, then wave madly as if I know them, or make the 'phone me sign', but I am totally gonna add this to my non-road-rage annoyance signs.
You are so much nicer than my baseball bat and I are.
Love it! Not using the turn signal is one of my biggest pet peeves.
You handled the situation much better than I would have.
Well done! I often wonder how much money those people save by not purchasing turn signals (surely if the vehicle had it, they'd use it, right? I wish!)
You're awesome!
Ha!
I love your passive aggressiveness
Lol, that's awesome!! It is amazing how many people assume everyone else on the road just intuitively knows what direction they're going to turn.
