snailgater 

A person driving behind you or in the next lane who speeds up to pass you, only to slow down to less than your speed when he does so.
I need to get out of this lane, but this fucking snailgater just sped up and blocked me in.

stallmate 

When two or more people attempt to stall stall while in a public bathroom, resulting in many minutes of silence while all parties involved just sit quietly in their stalls.
After several minutes of complete silence I realized that I was stuck in a stallmate with the fellow next to me.

Snailman 

Snailman is an urban legend from the Chicago land area. He is short ,well dressed sophisticated humanoid man with a snails shell on his back. He enters peoples dreams through a giant dreamcatcher that is a portal to the dream world and attempts to steal your deepest secrets and desires.
The snailman entered my mind in a dream , using illusions to deceive me.

A popular phrase on the Internet for mail services provided by the U.S. Postal Service and similar agencies in other countries. The term has its origins in the fact that regular postal mail is slow compared with e-mail.
I would prefer the picture per e-mail, but if you have no scanner, send me a snailmail.

Snailgating 

1) The act of driving below the speed limit with the effect of backing-up otherwise normal traffic flow. Artificially creating a dangerous tailgating situation by holding a position on a multi-lane road, obstinately pacing another slow-moving vehicle in an adjacent lane, while purposefully avoiding eye contact through the rear view mirror. 2) Denying someone access to a public, or nominally "shared" resource (e.g., parking place, restaurant table, etc.) by lingering in/on the resource long enough to alter the mood of the person waiting. 3) Any passive-agressive act of intentionally underperforming in order to teach someone, usually someone perceived as a jerk, a lesson that more than likely they will never learn--otherwise, an utter waste of everyone's time.
The ambulance driver testified that if it weren't for the Prius driver snailgating, the heart attack patient she was driving to the hospital may have survived.

It's always the other guy snailgating; you would NEVER do that, right?

Scientific studies have proven that the snailgating of merge hoppers actually makes traffic worst than if everyone on the uses all the available road capacity
