Good Fire Walls Make Good Neighbors

We all have to live next to our neighbors and that’s the problem.  They are like family members in the way that you don’t really get to choose them.  So, not unlike in a family, living in close quarters people’s individual personality quirks can get on the nerve of your own personality quirks and thus passive aggressiveness was born.

Passive aggressiveness was created so that you don’t seem like such an asshole. But the truth is that if you are being PA, you are either acting like an asshole or just a plain old asshole.   That is not to say that it does not serve a purpose or that there is not a time and a place for it.  Here is a perfect example when it can be useful and hilarious at the same time.  Since your neighbors anonymously try to steal your WiFi, you now have recourse.  You can reverse-passive-aggressively tell them to ‘fuck off’ with your WiFi name.  Here are some great examples.  (to be honest, there is no real good time for Grindcore)
