Passive-aggressive notes...

from http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/

That 2nd last one just sounds like someone who’s bitter they didn’t get a job, boo hoo.

Sounds to me more like somebody who didn’t get the service they requested.

It says on the site it was for a job application and prior to receiving the letter “Steve” was in the top 5 for the job. Oops.

I like the last one. It makes the point.

I wonder what kind of passive aggressive emails the website gets from the writers of the passive aggressive (though I think the term is being used rather loosely in some cases) note.

Just so everybody knows, I personally apologize for any and all passive agressiveness in my postings. I know it’s been a problem for me in the past and I am working on it, have been for a long time.

No need to apologize. We’re used to it.

(You all can’t keep up with me. I had a Jewish mother!

How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?

None.

‘It’s alright. I’ll just sit here alone in the dark.’)

I think that the one incidence of the natural fourth in “Wild Mountain Thyme/Will YOu Go Lassie Go”
is a good example of a passive aggressive note.

Ah… I didn’t see the linky for the source site… yeah… he needs to grow up a mite then.

I suspect that I must have written a long line of them in my history - or at least in my ‘venting fantasies’ … they all sound sooo familiar. :laughing:

What say we don’t make this thread about you and instead return everyone to their regularly scheduled discussion.

That’s amazing! I’ve never noticed any P/A in your postings!

Noticed other stuff, though. This appears to be just garden-variety attention-seeking. :slight_smile:

Of course, I’m no expert on this, myself . . .

You might think this was from a college dorm or something, but no . . . this was from a high-rise office building . . .

Ah… pretty good example of P/A… :laughing:

and - if you follow the guy around and point out how you think everything he says is about attention getting, then just who is distracting the thread?

Quite so, anniemcu, quite so. Perhaps in the future, I will leave the doily on the elephant, and we can pretend it isn’t there.

:laughing: I’ll donate a lovely hand-crocheted doily. Later, over a nice pint, we can debate the differences between an elephant and a molehill. :wink:

Is anyone pretending anything?

We all know Cranberry very well. Is there something you would like to tell us that would actually serve a purpose?

If he annoys you, that’s a personal problem of your own. If someone else seems to need attention, does that somehow make you unhappy? Do you feel threatened by that? Did you have trouble with your siblings getting all the attention?

<dang slash it all!>

DJM, you’ve got a slash on the wrong side of a bracket there.

Best wishes,

This has become a fun thread.
