Why do people going faster than you bother you? Assuming they don’t run you over, or cause an accident, what possibly can be annoying about someone in the left lane moving at a higher speed?
I am annoyed by people who pull into the left lane and then stay there even when people are right on their tail, when there is nobody in front of them and the lane next to them is clear.
Because forcing people to pass on the right is dangerous, and makes driving less safer for all of us. It is so easy to pop over to the right and let people go by.
In general, I also dislike drivers who get on “single-lane” roads, and drive slower than the speed limit, maybe with their flashers on, while backing up traffic behind them. I’m fine with people wanting to drive slower. But if you do, have the common courtesy to pull of the road from time to time to let normal people drive by you.
And for the record, if I think conditions make it unsafe to drive faster, and there is someone behind me, I ALWAYS pull off where safe and let them pass me. Not only is it the nice thing to do, but it is safer. And if they hit a patch of ice ahead, I’ll have warning.

Now while I too detest people driving slow in the fast lane, I wonder why someone would stay “right on their tail” when the lane next to them is clear? And if the right lane is clear - to use your example - then why is passing on the right “dangerous”?
I often use the “clear” right lane to breeze past a slow left lane driver. Why would you slow down and drive behind them, hoping they move over?
