Rhode Island Shuffle 

When an impatient motorist inches out of a side street or parking lot, in an attempt to take a left onto a main road, and blocks off all traffic coming from his left until finally someone coming from his right feels bad enough for the blocked off lane to let this douchebag in.
"So I was driving down 1A in Pawtucket, and this asshole does the Rhode Island Shuffle right in front of me to try to get out of Papa Johns!"
