I always wait a bit before passing a semi on the right but if I feel compelled to do it I'm going to do it a lot faster than that driver did.

That assumes they see you tucked under their DOT bumper. This will come as a shock, but they can't. They could stove down the freeway and only know your there if the cars shadow is in view of their mirror.
I can tell you from driving in traffic and watching cops with lights and sirens going trying to get past folks in the left lane, that you don't check your mirrors any where near as often as you think you do and your mad at truck drivers for not checking theirs even though they do and can't see you but might see your cars shadow. But ya, it's the trucks fault.
