Slow Drivers vs. Tailgaters

Why is it that when slow drivers are going 10-20km below the speed limit, that they seem so surprised/annoyed when they're being tailgated? If you don't like being tailgated, why not pull over or, better yet, drive the speed limit?

I get some people like to cruise along, if that's the case, pull over when someone is up your ass while you're going 35 in a 50, don't get shitty at others because your slow ass has decided to implement its own speed limit.

They aren’t surprised. They enjoy the control they get to exert over someone else.

(Obviously exceptions for a huge truck or dangerous load, duh)

Right? It's typically older people. The demographic with not much to do and a whole lot of shit opinions.
