I notice the brakes on the company car are getting bad.  Before sending the car out to get worked on, I check who has the car signed out next.  If it's someone I don't like, I don't do anything about the brakes . .

I think that's more like attempted murder Tongue

"Say something passive aggressive to the poster above you".

I think you should definitely do that!

Thena, Bless your heart, I think it's really interesting you chose that avatar!

There are some men out there that don't like a girl to be too feminine!

The most general definition that I can think of is to say or do something with a hidden or non-colloquial meaning, usually not directed specifically at the person who is the actual target of the words or actions. (IOW saying something to a whole room but really only talking to one person).
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

SteelCurtain, you're supposed to say something passive-aggressive about me....just like I did to Thena,
and how Thena did to Rob.

We're saying something PA about the poster above us.

c'mon, I was looking forward to my snub!!

True story: I once dated a girl who, in the middle of an argument, said, 'Ok, I get that sometimes I can be passive-aggressive...' and genius Boru butted in with, 'Really? When do I get to see the passive bit?' She came by two days later, picked up her stuff, and I never saw her again.

See? Genius.

Yeah, yours is a good example too. I suppose it's about trying to get what you want while making any aggressive response seem unreasonable.

This never  happens on the internet!

The "can't we just respect everyone's opinion?" and "why are you being mean to me? (after having just verbally undermined your very humanity)" crowds just make me want to scream.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

People who complain about crowds and can't just get on with their lives get on my nerves...

(Am I getting it?).
