Not only this annoyance you mentioned, but my personal little saying is that turn signals aren't just for the benefit of who you see, but more importantly for anyone you don't see!
You should have already made sure you're clear of everyone before you think about leaving your current path. Using the indicator is a preventative measure for the sake of yourself and anyone in a blind spot or that you failed to notice.
I once had a passenger criticise me for indicating a turn when there were no others cars around. She said it showed I was driving without thinking, automatically signalling when it wasn't needed. I think I said something like "fuck you" or maybe "I'll drop you off here then if you don't like my driving". I'm signalling my intentions to the universe! Behold my blinking lights, for I am voyaging leftwards!
Stop, you're being too safe! ๐
The only times anyone is to be criticized for signally is if it is waaaay before where you're actually turning so that people think you just bumped the stalk or if you just leave it on and don't know it.
