That's really not how a passive aggresive person reacts. Actully the behavior is quite ambiguous, meaning the person is actively passive and aggressive at the same time. They may not be openly confrontational. However, they do exibit their hostility without a smile.......Actually, that was the reason for using that term. I'm not usually actively cnfrontational, but I do show my displeasure at the same time as many cellarites do......
You ever notice the little rabbit punches by cellarites followed by a smile symbol.
