Daily Roundabout Frustrations

Council recently redid the lines on the roundabout, exactly the same. I've started using the right lane now as the majority of those in the middle lane tend to go to the left lane leaving space for those in the right lane to come into the middle.

Last week I went middle lane to middle lane, and a white van got very upset with me, window down and shouting. Such a nightmare, can't wait till we move and no longer have to do this roundabout twice per day.
 
The council in my town decided to put lights and yellow boxes all over one of the busiest roundabouts. It just seems to be even worse now. OFC the boxes are a waste of time if you have lights stopping people on them.

Traffic piles up just as far back, but now you can't just go when it's clear at quiet times (well I guess you can if no one is looking) :/

Somewhat anecdotal, but I find the frequency of people turning right (e.g. 2-4 o' clock position) at a roundabout from the left lane of a 2 lane approach is increasing rapidly, to the point that more seem to do it than not.

Plenty definitely seem to use the "if in doubt, use the left lane and your indicator, then do whatever the **** you want" approach
