This especially applies to people using a different mode of transportation than me.

My typical reaction to being passed is either "OK, bye" or "Where's the fire?"

Today there was somebody driving so close up behind me that I had to speed up to increase the space between us, but the motherfucker just kept catching up to me. They were right up my ass, probably only 1-2 meters behind me, super fucking dangerous. They didn't even seem to slow down behind me as I put on the turn signal, which I do pretty well ahead of time, and they stayed right up my ass when I slowed down for the turn, and just instantly sped off. That person shouldn't be driving.

People who drive the same speed as me annoy me. Get away from me, we're not friends
QuartzPoker
For me, it's about *how* they pass me. Slowly passing me like they're going 2mph faster? Have a good day sir. Blasting past at 30 over the speed limit? You are the reason the world is going to shit and I hope you crash and die. And those lights on the top of your car are tacky.
CyberHexx
Considering I habitually set the cruise control to the goddamn speed limit, I am forced to agree with the image, despite the feelings of other commenters.
jonnnney
I generally have a bout a 5mph range that I like to travel in and I will change my speed in that range to make my driving less stressful
milskiCatDiver
Assuming that you can pick the speed you drive at, it makes sense that you would consider any other speed "wrong".
powwerbottom
Well if I'm goin the speed limit then, kinda, yeah

Someone driving fast to get in front of me, then dropping down by 20mph..

I don't come here to be called out like this

I was on an expressway this past weekend after seeing a comedy show about 40 minutes away from my home. Posted speed limit was 70 mph (like 32 meters per second for people who use metric measurements). I was driving 75 in the right lane. On the expressway I saw two people driving 45 mph in front of me. I also was passed by a pair of cars going well over 100 mph. I think they qualify as "slow bitch" and "speed racer".

One of the great pleasures of driving an old beat up pickup is laughing at the people cussing at you from behind because you're not going as fast as they want.
Snooj
For me it's not how fast you're driving it's where you're doing it. Going the speed limit or under in the driving lane? You do you; drive what feels right. Matching the speed of the car in the driving lane while in the passing lane? Fuck you, your kids, and your existence. Melt into oblivion you worthless shitbag.

Guitar playing is like this. Slightly worse than me: meh, don't waste my time. Shortly better than me: what a legend!
Maverickaura
when the exact speed you drive is with your cruise control set to the speed limit, you are correct in that assertation.

Aleays be the fastest person on the road, problem solved
cheidiotou
Ya know, I truly appreciate those who are willing to be the fastest, so long as they're not tailgating, weaving, etc. Those people make a great sacrifice by offering themselves up as bait in the upcoming speed traps! That spares the rest of us lesser speeders. Their service is appreciated.
BelialDenial
Old George Carlin bit. Saw him do it on Carson.
Argusdubbs
one of my very favorite Carlin quotes and that's saying something
bobesser
Everyone faster than me is a maniac. Everyone slower than me is a moron
Shaodyn
Everyone driving exactly the same speed as me is highly suspicious. I'm gonna slow down and keep an eye on this weirdo.

[Seeing somebody worse than me at games] Wow noob

I just hate when somebody is passing me and then slows down to match my speed right as they get next to me like wtf man I'm using cruise control at 72 so goooooo.
Solkanarmy
I call that the wacky races style of overtaking... also, 72 cruise control = 70 actual speed, I do the same^^

I hate when I'm waiting for the guy in front of me to get out of the passing lane, and the guy behind me floors it and flips me off like I'm the one holding us up.
CyberHexx
Oh yeah, people who match speeds and sit in the blind spot are fucking assholes. If no one is behind me, I slam on the brakes and force them ahead of me, I then merge into their lane to prevent them from endangering me with their laziness.
Slickdoodle
I was going to post this. Many of the things that have been posted bug me, but THIS one makes me actually angry. Had a young woman do this last night. Caught up to me just to stick in my blind spot. She was on her phone and using my car as a way to keep hers in play (out of the corner of her eye). I slowed after slowly creeping up to nearly 80. Left her driving ten over on her journey into the night.
Kc0125
I use cruise control everywhere i go, set it for 5 over and it has made me realize how little humans look at the speed limit signs or pay attention to their speed at all.
dustygamedev
Or when someone ahead of me has been driving slow for miles so i decide to pass them then they either start speeding up making it difficult to pass or when I do pass them they decide they need to pass me again
Snooj
I've never had a really nice car in my life until last year and let me tell you, the ability to accelerate with conviction really takes care of a lot of these problems.
SharkoutofWata
There is nothing more satisfying than passing someone who clearly wasn’t paying attention, them trying to pass you again because you hurt their feelings and just keeping ahead of them while they try so damn hard to be an asshole. I’ll mime a yawn while they can’t pass.
InfocalypseRising
Me: nobody behind me, I'll slow down a little so this guy can merge
Guy merging: (slams the fucking brakes so now we both just look stupid)
SomeDetroitGuy
Alternately: This guy is definitely driving shower than me and there's a natural merge point behind me, I'll accelerate a bit to make room. Guy merging: Slams on the fucking gas and flips me off as he passes on the shoulder.
elevengoldfish
Or when you are passing someone who was driving slowly for the last several miles, and they speed up so you have to drive way faster than necessary to overtake them. Particularly awful and unnecessarily dangerous when you are using the opposite lane to pass them on a 2-lane highway.
JCBalance
I call them Seabiscuit drivers
bossbrigand
Even worse when you are using the shoulder...
thedarkcanuck
As a truck driver who drives a truck governed at 100 km/h and drives exclusively on 2 lane highways- THIS! If someone is going slow enough that I have to pass them, I can't afford to have them do this. It could cause an accident. Alternatively- when I'm passing someone and they suddenly hit their brakes when I get beside them, that's how I can tell they're not paying attention to their surroundings. I'd truly prefer to not have to pass anybody.
elevengoldfish
Safe travels!
zFUBARz
I honestly suspect there's some sort of innate psychological motivation behind this for some people, it happens when people barely even notice you're there sometimes, it's pretty nutty.
ChronicD
I'm positive it's something like that. I've noticed myself doing it unconsciously and I generally make an effort to let people pass who want to. There's definitely something going on in the lizard brain there.
elevengoldfish
I notice the person who speeds up on a 2-lane hwy is typically an older man. I cannot remember a time when it was ever a woman.
