RE: Understanding "Passive aggressive behavior"?
Ah so that's another completely different definition to the one provided by Robvalue's example! See what I mean? It's so confusing lol.

Yes, you should believe him, I'm sure he's right. I'm really stupid anyway, please just ignore me.

....I was about to be outraged and ask what's the meaning of this, but then halfway through typing the response I realized it was passive aggressiveness and now I feel slow Big Grin

Angel Sorry, dry humour Big Grin

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.

Hmm... I have a new idea for a thread....

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

Awww, you think passive aggression would make a good thread. Isn't that special. Well bless your heart!
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I remember from Coupling, they were eavesdropping on a conversation, and it went something like this:

Sally: I like what she did there. Very passive aggressive.

Patrick: What's that?

Sally: It's when a woman takes control of a conversation.

Patrick: What happens when a man takes control of a conversation?

Sally: ... I have absolutely no idea.

How's this one:

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 . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I loved coupling.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Example:

"Bless your heart, those jeans are just giving you a fit aren't they? Penney's sells some jeans that have a nice stretch to them...there's nothing wrong with elastic."

Translation: You're a big 'ole heifer, bitch!


NOTE: Any comment prefaced by "Bless your heart..." is a dead giveaway. Especially in the South: that means it's ON!
