26 Passive Aggressive Notes, Emails, And Texts That Are Just So Deliciously Petty
Let's be real — none of us like direct confrontation. I hate it so much, in fact, that if you all flood the comments telling me how lousy this post is...I won't see it because I don't read the comments! Why? Because I'm a non-confrontational coward!

So, if you're a coward like me — and you probably are — you will love these people who dealt with their problems in the most passive aggressive way possible. For example:
1.This girlfriend, who instead of confronting her boyfriend about their future, special ordered this doormat:
2.This professor, who passed on confronting a chronically late student face-to-face and instead sent this email:
3.And this roommate who'd HAD it with their lazy roommates not doing the dishes...so they posted this note:
4.This apartment neighbor who could've marched under the stairs and told off this smoker, but instead rounded up their butts and left this on their doorstep:
5.This landlord who communicated with tenants via this sign...and a gloriously passive aggressive "Mahalo!":
6.And this landlord...who communicated via emoji:
Throwback to the most passive aggressive landlord I’ve ever had🥲
7.This person who could've talked to their spouse (since they, you know, live together), but instead sent this text:
8.This husband who also could've used his words, but instead did this:
This is what passive aggressive husbands do when they’re mad at their wives
9.And this very non-confrontational grandma who let cookies do the talking for her:

10.This boss who could have called a meeting, but instead Michael Scott'd it:
11.This person, who found a very non-confrontational way to tell people to pick up after their dogs:
12.And this Alaskan, who expressed their anger against the lower 48 by hanging this map:

14.This company that did the same thing while sounding like a total asshole:
15.Popeye's, anticipating complaints with this posted note:

20.And this person who used a very sincere "Thank you!!!" to voice their unhappiness:

22.This professor who was fed up with his TA being more popular than him:
4 years ago today I got fed up of my TA being more popular than me and always being asked where she was. So I stuck this passive aggressive flow chart to my classroom door.
