That doesn't matter. And if you're not in the left lane usually people merging in front of you are heading for the "fast lane" (which is typically even more congested and slower) or heading for the exit lane. Just let them go on their way, into and just as rapidly out of your life. And if you don't let yourself feel "aggravation and churn" then people will just merge into and later leave your lane and it just becomes normal driving without any ego involvements.
