As lifelong providers of passive-aggressive behavior, we've come up with a list of signs that you or your loved one may have trouble with direct communication.
You avoid responsibility by claiming forgetfulness: "Sorry, I forgot you needed your apnea machine plugged in overnight so you wouldn't die in your sleep."
You do something so badly the other person volunteers to do it: "Whoopsies. I seem to have shrunk your leather chaps!"
You are always "accidentally" breaking, losing or selling off pieces of his Simpsons memorabilia.
You hide his Vancouver Canucks jersey and claim you haven't seen it since the play-offs.
You express your true feelings to a third party, i.e. over the phone or to the cat, while your partner is within earshot
Go along with his plan because you know there's a good chance it'll end up with him in jail.
