Passive/Aggressive

Its a case by case basis. At work, I do have to have some sort of diplomacy given the nature of my job. However, when I was at the liquor store, I'd tell people to get the fuck out of my store or eat ass and die if they were real assholes.

Damn, Lehah. Were you personal friends with the store owner? I can't think of anywhere that wouldn't get you fired. Which is too bad, wage slaves really should be allowed to do that to asshole customers.

Myself, I gauge whether it's even worth raising a stink in the first place. If it IS, I'm direct about it. Passive-aggressive behavior is completely ineffective, and it's little more than a symptom of lack of courage. Passive-aggressive types just lack the spine to directly stand up for themselves, so they imply and sigh and hint but never actually do anything when you call their bluff.

I picked up some really bad habits from my mom, who is so spineless she's afraid to even use the telephone. I let an old roommate of mine walk all over me for a semester, and I vowed never again. You cannot live as a doormat all your life, which what passive-aggressive behavior is all about. You might defiantly say "Go Away" in large print, but people are still wiping their feet on you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
