For example, you let someone pull out in front of you and they just drive without looking to see if anything is coming from the other direction - that's their issue and not yours. I just think it's ridiculous that they expect you not to say thank you or something or the sort as for me that just makes my blood boil!

I guess they generalized that as it seemed very specific to me. When I went for lessons the next time the instructor told me that waving people on, saluting or other non standard hand signals can be confusing and have caused accidents in the past.
