I can't be alone in this.

I may not be understanding the definition of "passive" you guys are throwing around, but say you're with a group of friends wanting to grab some food. I'd much rather be the guy saying "I'm cool with whatever" than "I want McDonald's, bitches!"

If you're indifferent on an issue, shouldn't it be seen as a courtesy that you'd rather place other people's wants ahead of your own?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to have to go with Minion on this and wonder whether people who are that passive really exist.

I mean, no one would be able to hold in their anger/dislike of something for so long without speaking up about it. I doubt that anyone is capable of unlimited passiveness, or at least no one I've ever met. But if the discussion is about that supposed kind of person, I think it's safe to say that everyone can agree it would be annoying as hell.

Unless all your friends are clones of yourself, as in Encephalon's example.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ack, that actually wasn't meant to be offensive in any way. I suppose it's too late to just put an emoticon with its tongue sticking out, but I definitely didn't mean that seriously. Sorry about that, man.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
