Nope, your "little contribution" costs lives, in two ways:
1) Studies have repeatedly shown that left-lane bandits cause accidents
2) Slowing people down wastes their time
#2 you'll argue with, but you can't argue with facts (well, the White House does, but we know what idiots they are). As for #2: if you live a bit over 75 years, that's 40 million minutes. So if a million of you idiots waste 1 minute a day for 40 other drivers, you're wasting an entire life.
Feel proud of yourself?
