Narrative:
We had been cleared to taxi but were behind an [rj] who was parking at a gate ahead of us in the alley. We moved out onto taxiway a; but had not completely turned onto it when we had to stop and wait for the plane to pull into the gate. While we were waiting; another small jet taxied passed us also on taxiway a. He had to pull way over to the left to go around us. We were clearly on the same taxi way; our nose very close to the centerline; but we were at an angle so he had minimum room to pass with his moving over to the left. Ground then told us to follow him and said he did not know he was going to do that. Lucky not to have made contact.
