アメリカ在住ですが、配管の詰まりを修理しに来た生意気な奴が、彼が修理を始める前に、詰まりの状況をほんの15秒弱くらい説明したんですが、その返しが”if you keep talking , You are gonna end up paying more” って言われて超ムカつきました。🤬アメリカは時間でチャージするので、“お前は黙ってろ、さっさと修理して帰らせろっ“て嫌味。🤬 喧嘩になって修理せずに帰られても困るから、ぐっと堪えましたが😤 2度と使わない。

@@nicwilliamson Let's see, an example of passive aggression is when someone gave me some home-made cookies that were so dry and tasteless. I said to them, "These taste much healthier than regular cookies. Too much sugar and butter isn't good for us anyway." I guess I was bordering on sarcastic, but they didn't notice.
I used to play keyboards in my youthful days. When I was 17, I was going on the stage rehearsal of the school festival. Then some girl said to me with 10/10 smile:”You bought ‘Keyboard Instruments Instruction for Beginners’ for it? Great!” I felt something wrong from what she said, and I didn’t realize that she said to me a sarcasm for a few hours. Maybe she didn’t know that Chopin isn’t the only music on the earth.
Passive aggression culture came from Germany or UK according to the natives lol 😂 Even though I understand their passive aggressions, I pretend like I’m an idiot 😜 When somebody starts that manner, I tend to spot their insecurities so I usually learn human nature and psychology instead of stepping down to their levels 😌
