Just friggin GO!
Case 1: When you get to the stop sign first (especially if I've slowed down enough that there's no argument over who arrived first)
Case 2: I'm already stopped at a junction where traffic entering does not stop, waiting for you to turn unabated into the lane
In either case - don't stop and then wave to me like an idiot thinking that I'm going to go. I'm not. If I enter the intersection and you suddenly change your mind (or get rear-ended), ya know what? "He waved at me" doesn't carry a whole lot of weight with the insurance companies or the judge.
If you want to impede the flow of traffic, that's your business. Try not to involve me in it.
