Arrogant/prejudiced people (such as the 'great' mythologist Joseph Campbell), inconsiderate people, and people who don't keep their promises.

That much said, I have to say I'm inclined to agree with Animal. Hate is not a good emotion. But nevertheless, you can't really help it when anger arises in you.

I think anger can be considered as a sort of 'test' for you, a lesson in self-control. When you're angry, here is an opportunity offered to you to hone yourself. How do you keep your cool? How do you keep yourself under control instead of blowing it? And one thing I do is take a mental step back and 'look' at my anger instead of identifying with it. Then somehow one does seem to get a bit more cool-headed.

Any other suggestions on how to control your anger? I might well have something to learn from you.
