It infuriates me too, my mother sometimes forgets to do it, and when we told her, she said she did put them on, so I assume that a lot of people forget to turn them on.
Some other people simply don’t care, “why would I need to do it, it’s not their business” is one phrase I read somewhere.
Personally, I always put them, even in empty parking lots with no soul around, better to always have the habit even when it isn’t necessary, that forget to do something because you actively have to choose to do the task, when it should be automatic.

I was parking my car two days ago, at a nearly full car park. This 50-something guy double parked while parking, so I let him know that he’s double parked, and his response was “I know” and walked away. Why the fuck are people like this? He deserves to crash and break his legs so he’s in a wheelchair for a little while.
This is close to my personal take on the subject; “you don’t turn on your signal for the car you saw, you do it (especially) for the car you didn’t see”
Yea I signal even when I think no one is around. Because what if I just didn’t see someone? I don’t want to hit someone or get hit.
I’m kinda in between…I don’t signal in empty parking lots and rarely at 3am on the highway
But when I’m not totally alone and I intend to change lanes, my pinky flicks before I think about it or look to see if the land is open - I flick it back off if I realize I’d cut someone off regularly

I’m like you: I don’t care if no one is around. People act like it’s some force of nature to muster the strength to signal.
