I confess to accidentally drafting people because I get paranoid that it's rude to overtake.
What's worse is that sometimes I'm only going a tiny bit faster than the person in front, and I know that:
a) if I start to overtake it'll take ages;
b) if I speed up to make it take less time I'll get tired and end up slowing down right in front of them
c) if I stay behind them then I look like some kind of weirdo stalker-pervert type
It's just embarrassing :(
