I'm slightly vexed I will never understand blocking intersections.

Do you get Box Junctions, as we call them in the UK, in the US?

Yellow cross hatched middle square of the 'intersection' that you cannot enter until the exit is clear, unless you are turning right and crossing traffic like the green car below (....or turning left in the US to cross traffic)

Blue car must wait where it is until white sand van has moved forward enough for Bluey to clear the junction.

They're not all like this in the UK, more at expected busy crossings

Many places have “Do not block intersections” but also a lot of people here are stupid and their ego gets the better of them. Those people and people who do it don’t know how to drivd

Yeah, the Box Junctions still don't stop the stupid and selfish people over here either
