bikeslut 1 Posted August 29, 2008 I consider you all helpful people... I'm having a problem DEFINING "passive aggressive"... I mean... I KNOW what it means, but am looking for real world examples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Someone who strives to get what they want without directly confronting any authority or consensus to do otherwise. They can make themselves an obstruction, obstacle, procrastinate to the point of causing a failure, or some other behavior of reluctance to comply. Now your not going to use that against me are you?

paulmbowers 236 Posted August 29, 2008 A server who secretly spits in your food, but serves your meal and says,"Enjoy your dinner". An employee who says they're happy in their job, but cheats on their expense account because "they deserve it because you're not paying them what they're worth". A spouse who tells you your relationship is solid, but is frequently late, "forgets" meetings etc. fn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
