Perhaps you’re dawdling and irritating people if they’ve overtaken you eg just before roadworks. Sometimes I overtake some nobber cos they’re slow plodders and you know they’re going to fk your journey up, so if I get the opportunity I go past them even at what might appear to them to be a pointless place. I’m sure they talk about me as you are talking about whoever up there ^

That's certainly a perspective. One which you, and others are entitled to.

I bring to the table 100s of thousands of miles, many of which are in no way 'dawdling'. If there is a flow of traffic, I see no particular gain in sniffing the zorst of the car in front.

Some people seem to enjoy wearing their clutch, pads, and fuel. And all the best to them.

Patience is a virtue, Virtue is a grace. Grace is a little girl Who would not wash her face.

I'm absolutely of a mind that saving 1 second here and there adds up. You do that 5 days a week, 261 days a year. It really does. But some people really need to calm their britches.

To be clear. My gripe is the short-sighted. In vehicular planning terms. If I'm holding you up then crack on. Bar Max, Space-X, and the value of the pound, I would doubt I'm the cork in the bottle.
