http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukebailey/how-passive-aggressive-are-youYou got: Youre really passive-aggressive.
Theres no need to be direct when small hints will do the trick. You are a master of finding minor ways to dig at people. Youre very happy to express any hostility you have through some very indirect methods. It might not be the healthiest way to be.

(34,139 posts)Too many of the questions involve roommates (haven't had one since 1971), work (been self employed from 1977 until I retired), or other situations I do not encounter.
I'd say ask my husband about me being passive-aggressive, but he's the king of passiveness and never notices what I attempt to do to get back at him.

I had trouble with a couple of the questions because none of the answers were really me. But I chose the answers I thought were the closest and went on with my life, because that's how I roll.

(55,027 posts)and that changed it to plain old "Youre just aggressive.
Theres nothing passive about it. You dont know the meaning of the word subtlety, so you just vent on the world. All things considered, its probably a better way to be."
