In this morning's instance, I was riding on a residential street with cars parked on both sides. I do not hug the line of cars, so maybe this person thought there was room there...or, they were reluctant to pass me on the left. Whatever the reason, I did experience a moment of what in the world is going on? Why are they passing me on the right? They had to ride dangerously close to the line of cars to pass there... Also, they were hardly going any faster than I was, so passing seemed pointless.
