I usually drive 5-10 miles over the speed limit. I only get in a passing lane to pass a slower moving vehichle and then I return to the slow lane.
I drive this speed because that's my personal comfort & safety zone.
Why then do I get dirty looks - the finger - honked at - flashed - and even tail-gated?

You are a victim of an uncivil society filled with people who think that they are so important that everyone else should get out of their way. Although you see signs talking about the prosecution of aggressive drivers, I don't see these jerks getting stopped very often. You are doing nothing wrong.

Bravo! I applaud you for trying to obey the law. I try to drive within the speed limit, but with cars making dangerous moves to go whizzing by you and trucks riding on your bumper, sometimes it's not safe. Here in Atlanta people drive 20 to 25 MPH over the limit as a rule. Now with the gas prices so high, I can't afford to waste that much gas. Just keep calm and ignore them, they should be in jail!
Be careful and Lots of Luck!

Frist thing there is no such thing as the slow lane, its just that the other lane is used for overtaking and HGVs. And maybe your driving too fast and thats why you get the bad looks, remember the speed limit is not the minimum speed you drive at but the maximum

Because there are just some jerky drivers on the road. Some illegally passed my mom and then gave her the finger.

Maybe it's not because you are driving slow. Maybe you are a bad driver. I don't mean that rudely either -- I have found lots of bad drivers don't even know the stuff they do -- like ride their brakes.

Because people who hail from shallow gene pools engage in road rage against people who don't deserve it (well, technically no one deserves it but some less than others).

Because people are just plain rotten.
Their self-importance is higher than reality. Ignore them and keep safe.

People don't like when others are going slow.

Because they think you are slow and in the way.

beacuse if someone can't get around you and they need to get somewhere, they cant possibly blame themselves for not leaving early enough, so of course its your fault... for nto doing 20 or 30 over. duh. lol
