Can someone give me an example of passive aggression?

Answer 1

Asking someone if they want a drink , then when they say yes.. you intentionally spill it on them.

Your mate wants a back rub, but you want one too with out admitting it.. You tell him yes, but while giving him a massage, you make the oil to hot, you find sensitive spots that are uncomfortable to his touch and really knead those places.

You hold the door open for someone, then just as they are walking through it you accidentally let go of it causing them to crash into it. (this one works best if they are crrying a drink in their hand)

Someone asks you to buy them a coffee and donut while your at the bakery.. of course being the nice person you are you say yes.. but when yo get to the bakery.. you but the lousy apricot filled jelly roll and tel them they were out of the chocolate covered ones they love.

A co-worker offers her help in filing papers for you, you think how nice, then they file it all backwards, giving you double work.
A co-worker offers to take the mail to post, then forgets your private mail on her dashboard for a few days then comes back and says.. "Oh gee I forgot to mail this.. was it important"

Just a few.... it's simply doing something you didn't want to do for another , but instead of saying no... you find a way to sabotage the deed by making it look accidental.

Answer 2

my teacher made me do this stupid assignment back in highschool because i was 6 minutes late ( i was throwing up!!) and since i was already really sick i was super pissed about the assingment so i wrote the whole 4 page paper in yellow sparkly gel pen so the teacher had to hold the paper at an angle to be able to read it..i still smile when i think about how she had to keep tilting the paper to catch the light jusssssst right in order to read it...victory was mine!!

and i used to hide my step mothers shoes when she pissed me off..she has to be out the door at a certain time and i used to hide 1 shoe so she would run around like a chicken with her head cut off and when she left the room id put it back where i found it and shed think she was going crazy haha

Answer 3

It can be verbal: "You look nice if that outfit, it covers your fat butt." or "I'm so glad you got that promotion, its good they went with someone who knows nothing, compared to someone who deserved it".

Its like a nice way of saying something mean. They give you a compliment, and then sneak some kind of mean statement in there, all the while acting nice to you.

Answer 4

It`s like being on hold on the phone and you are told you are in a queue and your call is important to us. you get to speak to someone ask for an increase in your overdraft , the answer is no chance so you say (thank you so much for your time) put down the phone and scream and scream till you are sick.

Answer 5

Someone who doesn't protest or argue most of the time, but then their frustration at not getting their way boils over into fits of unreasonable anger.
