I too would have refrained from passing on the right but would forgone any yelling or death stares. The driver's in this cause mistaken caution would have cost me a few seconds but then we would have just gone on to our destinations.

I like placing my CAR directly beside people that attempt this move. It's wonderous when someone misses their exit when they attempt to cut you off, rather than take the 15 car lengths available behind you.
If they choose to be selfish, I do the same, in a car.
But on a bike I do the center to left move to make it clear I'm not going around them on the right. Or the death stare if they bork the situation up like the OP and video states. Just sit and stare, they get embarrassed pretty quick.

That situation is super frustrating. If they paid attention then it would be no issue. Instead they cause themselves, you and anyone else following to stop in the middle of the road. If there is room or I can tell they are going to do that, I'll move left and pass on their left side. Often times they/you are much to close to them to make that happen. I have continued before after they stop but I never feel safe doing it and always regret it.
