Pet Peeve

People that pretend they'll be up front with you, but instead, are really passive aggressive and condescending, all the while insisting they have no problem with you. It's disingenuous and fucking cowardly. I'm not stupid!

Passive-Aggressive: pretending to be in agreement with someone or something while secretly hating it and planning to sabotage it the first chance one gets.
From Wiki: Passive-aggressive behavior is the indirect expression of hostility, such as through procrastination, stubbornness, sullen behavior, or deliberate or repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible.
For research purposes, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) revision IV describes passive-aggressive personality disorder as a "pervasive pattern of negativistic attitudes and passive resistance to demands for adequate performance in social and occupational situations.”
Why am I stating the obvious? I think we forget that one of the chief components of passive aggressive behavior is that it stems from hostility.
