Passive-aggressive Facebook statuses

I get the need to talk to someone about what is bothering you. No one should just hold in their anger, but to direct something to one person, in front of hundreds of others? Isn't that calling them out for a public shaming?

Take this status for example: "Some people never mind their own business."

Would you shout that out to someone else, from across a fairly quiet room? You're leaving the other person feeling so vulnerable, and most likely the crowd around you is merely thinking, "Uh oh, drama!". 

 
There's a veil around us on the internet, as other people can't see our faces, cannot hear our voices shake. Surely we wouldn't say half of what we say here, online, to people's faces?

One of my favorite places to be

Being on the road, windows down and music playing, it's one of my favorite places to be. My dad and I used to drive on like that, and he'd love getting lost just for the sake of adventure. Sometimes he would start singing or whistling, and soon enough, we'd both be singing out some Pearl Jam tune. He'd hang one arm out the window (got stung by a bee while driving once because of it...), tap along to the beat.
