Your feelings are irrelevant. It is not your job to enforce the law. I don't care if you are already doing 5 over or even 90mph. If you are in the left lane and are impeding someone's progress, MOVE OVER.
THIS. Some people like to argue that they are speeding, doing 5 or 10 miles per hour over, in the left lane, and thus, dont need to move out of the left lane. NO. You need to be constantly scanning your mirrors. If you are in the left lane, and someone is directly behind you and you can get over, then move your butt over. It is not your job to be left lane police, traffic enforcer, or entitled idiot that sits in the left lane. It is a PASSING lane. Your feelings have nothing to do with anything. MOVE OVER.
This seriously needs to be taught every year in high school. There are just TOO many flat out IDIOTS out there that just park their behind in the passing lane without a care in the world. I now pull up next to them, stare at them until they give me eye contact, and not so politely tell them to move the [censored] out of the passing lane. I dont recommend my approach, but it works for me.
