11 Very Memorable Moments Of Passive Aggression

Everyone knows (or is) someone who, when the beef starts broiling, won’t say what they really mean. Anger will be cloaked in courtesy, insults in compliments. Everybody either has that friend, or is that friend. Being passive-aggressive allows you to keep to the high ground while also striking a low blow, to offend while accommodating. A passive-aggressive approach guarantees you some plausible deniability when it hits the fan.

As classic memes like Passive Aggressive Panda show, raising your voice isn’t worth the effort. It’s more effective to just raise the point, politely but firmly. On Reddit's /r/passiveaggressive, people post examples of passive aggression encountered out in the world. From furious notes carefully placed on windshields to snarky Sharpie-scrawled signs in bathroom stalls, this collection has it all. The last time you saw this much shade was probably under a beach umbrella on a very bright day.
