When this happens to me on my commute, I find it incredibly hilarious. Sometimes I wave at the driver through their rear-view when we are inevitably stopped at the same stoplight not 2 minutes later.

I find myself on both sides of this equation, sometimes "what a waste, why did this guy bother passing?", and sometimes "Phew, finally in front of THAT person"(even if we are stopped at the same light, but I'm now in front).

Reminds me of the George Carlin line: "anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac"
