Come on old man

Suppose you're in a hurry, speeding down the streets, avoiding any sort of patrolman, when a car swerves out in front of you from out of nowhere. It's the oldsmobile, and you know whats coming. You groan as your cars speed decreases by twenty. 

It's the Grandma/Grandpa drivers. (you don't even have to be old, but, if you drive like this I will call you a grandma or grandpa)
We all know this feeling.

I'm pretty sure old people just sit around any corner or crevice they can while parked in their car until they see one of us speedy people heading down the streets. And then their plans are set into motion, engine starts and they pull out in front of you. 
So deceitful. 
You're already running late and you arrive even later than planned because of this situation, and all you can do is grumble that the car infront of you was going 15 in a 25 Anything under 20 in painfully slow though. 
How do you spot these people?
They come to complete and I mean COMPLETE stop... Sitting there for ten seconds.
When turning or stopping they slow down about 50 feet ahead of wherever they will be turning (or stopping) making their car come to a crawl.. As you tail gate them, maybe then they'll get the message.
Swerving usually comes, the driver is not sure of his destination so he creeps into the left turn lane and then realizes its a nada and drifts right back to where he was nearly hitting you. The unfortunate soul behind them.
I'm not saying its bad to drive safe, duh.
But it's almost not safe to drive too safe...If that makes sense.
