Passive Aggresion

[TheGoober 149]

Something a good amount can agree with is that being passive aggresive to someone who probably was just being an ***hole with you, or just because you felt like it has to be one of the funnies things to do. Of course, not 100% of popupation agree, not everyone likes to see their watermelon with a carved-in smiley face when you planned to eat it. Which leads to, what are some crazy passive aggresive things you potentially mental folks have done? Maybe you've put hand warmers in someone you know's underwear or just straight up stole the inside of their charger and left them with a rubber tube and plug that they can't tell has nothing in it anymore.

I briefly delivered for Domino's, we had a customer who was habitually so far out of line with us, they deserved to be arrested. 

Finally one night after a particularly vicious phone call, and a demand for another pizza, that made a coworker cry, I'd had enough. 

I had one of them make up the pizza. I let it go through the oven twice and then put it on ice in the fridge while I warmed up the box. 

I've never run so fast in my entire life after they took it from me.

I’m a lightweight in this category, although there have been many situations where I would love to really unleash some delicious possibilities. But in my small way I used to draw sarcastic little comics and anonymously posted them on the employee bulletin board at work. The characters were thinly disguised caricatures of certain coworkers who had it coming. No names were used but if they could recognize themselves in the artwork they got the point I was making.

There was another time when I was much younger and less disciplined, involving a certain (harmless) additive to someone’s coffee, but I’m not going to give details because it wasn’t nice and it’s never wise to potentially tamper with someone’s bodily systems. I regret it and strongly advocate against that sort of thing now.

But passive aggression as a rule, yeah, let's party.

Everyone has been passive aggressive in their lives a few times here and there. Especially in our younger days when we were less mature.

I recall when I was first learning how to drive and I would start death staring other drivers who would randomly cut me off and not use their turn indicators

There was another instance where I decided to pull up next to them and give them the old "side eye"

I wonder if sometimes I’m passive aggressive without even realizing it.

Coming from old manager’s experience.. how I’d handle this kind of “agree to disagree” situation, I will have self-control and tried to work towards mutual understanding. I hear you, but that doesn’t mean I will agree with you. And I don’t expect you to agree with me. That’s what mutual means. Meeting at the middle. If that person is rude about it or if it has become a one-sided thing..I’m just gonna give em a foot down.  Stranger I will choose to ignore you and not waste my energy or time on you. “Have a nice f**k you”

I was working dispatch one night, it was fairly busy, and I got a call from one of our shippers complaining that the truck hadn't arrived yet to pick up their shipment.  I explained to them very calmly what the situation was and told them we'd have a truck out to them as soon as we could.  They them played the 'well, then I guess I should take my business elsewhere' card, to which I replied, in as calm a voice as I could muster:  "Well sir, that is the benefit of living in a free-choice society."  The guy FLIPPED.  I re-stated that a truck would be out there as soon as we could and ended the call.  A few minutes later I got a call from the salesman for the account, and I explained the situation to him.  Final result was salesman was satisfied, the customer shut their trap, their freight got picked up, and life went on.  I have no regrets, and I'd most likely do it again.  Given what I wanted to say to the person, I think I was downright pleasant about it.
