Passive-aggressive rhetoric


Earlier this week, my lunch was liberated from the refrigerator in the grad-student lounge. After I sent a gently scolding email to our listserve, my friend pointed me to passiveaggressivenotes.com, where readers submit exchanges between themselves and coworkers, roommates, and strangers when conflict arose. (more below the fold)

My favorites are those that deploy changes in font formatting and those that start out politely, but end up as full-fledged, ALL-CAPS RANTS. Be sure to check out the note wars, too, which often transpire among roommates who clearly hate each other.
