Amazes Me How Slow Drivers Find the Pedal When You Go to Pass Them

Driving into work today I had two instances of this:

First was merging on the interstate. The on-ramp where I live is long and double lanes until the end where it condenses into one lane and then merges onto the interstate. There’s a slow idiot doing 40 mph so I go to pass around them in the other lane and then they suddenly floor it and better yet flip me off in the process.

Second case was on the interstate being stuck behind yet another slow car in the passing lane. I get back over to the right to pass them and then again they suddenly accelerate and then honk at me as they go flying down the road.

Does it not amaze anyone else here how slow drivers suddenly seem to find the gas pedal when someone else tries to pass them? And then better yet they get pissed off that you tried to pass them because THEY were the ones going slow? Absolutely infuriating on every level.
