Combine frustration with beer and sleepiness and then add a poorly executed dose of reverse psychology.

What I was aiming for was not so much a thread ruminating on the meaning of the word "hate," rather something more along the lines of "this is a person I've been brutal toward, ergo I am probably not their favorite person." At the very least a karmic exercise, at best an opportunity to find out you're overestimating your effect on someone. Though even if I phrased it that way I doubt the thread would be much different.
