Hatebook
Yes, some of the posts on Hatebook can be a little depressing and disturbing, but other than that I feel Hatebook is a good website for anyone who wants to vent their anger and frustration. I have submitted a few hates on Hatebook, and it felt really good for me. Also, they have it to where people can "like" your hates, and it's fun to check back to see how many people have "liked" it.

What do you have in mind when you say they should "get out of the way"? I really don't get it, I'm not trying to provoke you or anything

hello Sallamandrina
you don't have to worry about "provoking" me as i am just a big wuss who'd rather go in the corner and whimper than fight with anybody. i just wanna be friends.
i was being partly facetious, partly serious when i said that folk who are not sure of where they are going, in a traffic/public thoroughfare situation, should endeavor not to block traffic and pull off to the side at the closest safe location. but there are lots of passive/aggressive types who do like to cause dislocation and interruption of the affairs of their fellow humans. these people do things that are not materially different from the actions of a tantruming child who decides to lie down in the middle of a supermarket aisle and block the shopping carts of other shoppers trying to move down the aisle.
i was driving home a few days back when some slowpoke decided everybody was going too fast for him, so he decided to drive 25 miles per hour in a 45 zone, and had traffic blocked up for at least a mile behind me. there was lots of oncoming traffic so nobody could pass this rolling roadblock. finally traffic let up and i passed him and he honked, obscenely gestured, flashed his lights and screamed curses at me [and the others who followed me and passed him] out his window, as though he owned the road and i had insulted him somehow, by refusing to let him waste my time by meekly remaining stuck behind him.
if mr. slowpoke didn't really want to hamper the progress of his fellow drivers, he would have pulled-over to the side at the closest opportunity rather than obstinately continue driving 20 miles per hour below the limit. his late-model honda accord didn't have any obvious defects [no smoking or stuttering] that would have prevented him from going faster, so i am left with the conclusion that he was mad at us all and wanted us to eat his dust.
where i live, there are lots of similar folk who are not above shooting guns at people who pass them, there have even been a few prosecutions of these kinds of kooks over the last decade or so, nationwide.

Ha, ha, great! But you can never be to careful, some people tend to take offence when asked for clarifications... So thanks for the quick and friendly answer
So you were mostly referring to traffic - I can only agree, indecisiveness and a passive-aggressive attitude are not only annoying but downright dangerous most of the time.

Can I quote that? Hmm, seems I just did.
But as horribly irritating as something like this is and as often as I say that I 'hate' such people I think that the word hate is far to big for minor matters like that.
There is so much going on in this world that I dont like, enough to be angry all day long.
But there is not a single person or thing I know of that really merits the word 'hate' I would rather call all that annoyances.
Truly hating someone is hating yourself and no one should want to do that. Hate is a poison which pollutes the ones who harbour it.
