There's a guy at work who's a whiny, backbiting little pissant.
A bunch of us were standing around discussing what a whiny, backbiting little pissant he is, when someone said he was passive/aggressive. Somebody else asked just exactly what passive/aggressive means. What does passive/aggressive mean to you? And has someones' passive/aggressive behavior ever ruined a relationship for you? |

What does it mean to me? A huge pain in the arse.
They'll do things like say "I'm fine" when they're obviously upset about something. They'll pretend to forget about a promise when they are angry with you. They refuse to take the blame for problems they caused. They sulk to get attention. It's best to just ignore and avoid them. |

You need Raid, for pissants. And a good reason to be away from him for 2 hours. I don't know from passive-aggressives. Sounds schizophrenic. Therefore, highly unreliable, in any sitch. |

And has someones' passive/aggressive behavior ever ruined a relationship for you? example: a person who huff's and puffs and slams doors...all the while saying "Im fine"!! Or he/she stares straight ahead without uttering a sound for hours. Passive/ Aggressives |

I drink coffee all day long every day.
And please don't yell at me. For some reason I am very high strung. |

It means they will attack you indirectly with snide remarks and innuendos for the purpose of making you feel just as insecure as they do...but then try to pass it off as humour when it offends you, or it could be overt agressive i dunno....and it's fooked up many a relationship with both male and female, but whatever the hell it is...it can pizz off. |

"passive-aggressive : being, marked by, or displaying behavior characterized by the expression of negative feelings, resentment, and aggression in an unassertive passive way (as through procrastination and stubbornness)"
Merriam Webster. That sounds pretty fair, and I think the essential part is "unassertive". If you're just aggressive, you'll gravitate towards confrontation. |

So what's Merriam's definition of a guy who's just a whiny little dik? |

Not sure. Not familiar with all these behaviour patterns.

I certainly do not give that kind of negativity my time day.
