Hey car driver, you can't run a stop, only I can!

I'm riding in a residential neighborhood early this morning, almost no traffic. I'm on a narrow 2 way street that has stops evey block and the blocks are short. As I approach a stop I hear a car in back of me rev it and I prepare myself for the "pass, then cut in front of me and slam on the brakes 20 feet before the stop."

But as we get right to the stop sign, the car just passes me on the left, in the oncoming lane, giving me plenty of room and just goes right through the stop, in the oncoming lane, without even pretending to stop, at the same time I run the stop sign. Perfectly safe pass since there was no crossing or oncoming traffic.

My first reaction was "hey, you can't run a stop like that!", but then I said to myself, hey, it was clean, didn't endanger me or anyone else, so whats the harm?
