Although you wouldn't expect anyone with a Moleskin journal to actually do so, the 'People I Want to Punch in the Face' workbook is a passive-aggressive way to let off some steam.

If you're a [notebook keeper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system) you undoubtedly like to keep organized. What better to-do list to keep updated than the one that tracks all the people that have done you wrong or pissed you off in a certain way? With this being such an important and touchy topic, it only makes sense to gather all your notes in an easily accessible manner.

There are other versions of these hilarious [Moleskin notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-1); some are self-congratulatory ("Epic Shit"), CEO-tributing (in honor of Steve Job's death) and frankly, quite demanding ("WRITE ALL THINGS DOWN").
