I advocate sympathy. What would *your* attitude be like if you spent
your entire working shift, each and every day, stuck driving behind
*ssholes going exactly the speed limit?

Frankly, I find the attitude that someone going the speed limit is an
asshole to be, well...****ing ignorant.

Especially in a short-trip, frequent-stop situation such as a delivery
driver has every day, exceeding the speed limit does VERY LITTLE to save
time, and significantly increases the hazard. In a residential area where
the speed limit is 25 mph, exceeding that limit by even 5 mph increases
one's stopping distance by over 40%. It has a variety of other negative
consequences as well, but the increase in stopping distance should alone
make it clear why speeding is a bad idea, especially in a residential
neighborhood.

If a delivery driver is frustrated that they are forced to obey the speed
limit, well that's their problem. They have no good reason to go any
faster, nor any reason to object to others who are obeying the speed limit.

Beyond that, to use derogatory names to refer to people who are doing
nothing more than obeying the law...that's just plain stupid.
