I realized today that I love making left turns. When there is someone in the opposing lane of traffic who is also turning left, an entire conversation takes place.
First, you make eye contact with this complete stranger, looking for the sign in their eyes that they are indeed making a left turn as well and not just playing with you or being annoyingly forgetful. Then, you realize they are doing the same thing to you. Finally, in less than 30 seconds, you make a nonverbal agreement with Stranger Lefty, and rely on each other to proceed and turn your respective lefts safely.
