Family Secret

Even if your great-grandparents invented the original thing, unless they have a business selling the stuff it is just plain ridiculous to not give it to someone who asks. Like, what do you lose? I see it as a compliment that someone liked it so much.

Our family has none of my grandmother's recipes because they were lost to different family members refusing to share after her passing, then passing themselves without sharing, or just losing their recipe. Now nobody gets to enjoy them. Do to me it just comes off as "we want to honor so and so's legacy by making sure their wonderful creations DIE WITH US." I LOVE sharing great recipes I've found.

.... " You don't talk about the passive aggressive club..... " But you're going to anyway, so what's the point....??
We’ve all experienced the discomfort of dealing with a passive-aggressive person. Whether it’s your mom saying she "doesn't care" what you eat for dinner right before silently scowling at the whole family the entire meal or your roommate saying she “loves” it when you come home late at night and wake her up, it’s never fun to deal with people who refuse to simply say what they mean.
Well, it’s usually not fun. But if they find a way to incorporate comedy into their aggression, we’ll let it slide! The Passive-Aggressive subreddit is dedicated to featuring images and stories of experiences with passive-aggressive individuals, and lucky for us, members have shared some hilarious and clever photos of notes. While it’s probably wise to be upfront and honest with others to maintain relationships, nobody’s perfect. So you might need to let your snarky side slip from time to time!

According to Verywell Mind, passive-aggressive behavior is “behavior that is seemingly innocuous, accidental, or neutral but that indirectly displays an unconscious aggressive motive.” This might involve resistance to someone’s requests through procrastination, expressing sullenness, being stubborn and/or using the silent treatment.
Those who are passive-aggressive might allow others to take the lead and make decisions for them, at least at first, but they’ll later show signs of how unhappy they are with their situation. For example, they might agree to do something and then complain the entire time or say they'll watch a movie their partner wants to see then refuse to pay attention or appear to be in a bad mood for no reason.

Unsurprisingly, being passive-aggressive can negatively impact relationships. It can be confusing for others when a passive-aggressive person refuses to be upfront about their feelings. And it can become frustrating when sarcasm is used instead of honesty. Not to mention the fact that bottling up your feelings is never healthy, so it’s not recommended to hold everything inside if it’s going to cause you to destroy your friendships with passive-aggressive remarks.

Don't you have a cleaning person to do that? Most businesses have some type of cleaning person to do that.
As far as where this indirect behavior comes from, Verywell Mind notes that it might be the result of family upbringing, mental health issues, situational circumstances and/or discomfort with confrontation. Personally, I learned a lot of passive-aggressive behaviors from my mother growing up that I had to work hard to unlearn.
I never saw her express her desires, and instead, the rest of us had to try to read her mind and tiptoe around to figure out what she wanted. Unfortunately, I developed a tendency to do the same thing without even realizing it. If you have the same bad habit, I would highly recommend working through it in therapy for the sake of your relationships!

I smoked Marlboro Reds, Melanie smoked Marlboro Lights & David Smoked Camels. We were supposed to smoke outside but it’s south Louisiana and it rains in the summer so I purloined a restaurant ashtray . I put it in the connecting hall (so the boss wouldn’t see it. Now keep in mind what we all smoked. It’s a regular Tuesday and we’re smoking in the hall I look down and see a Moore cigarette in the sand. A week later I’m backing the board for the weekend blast off. The power goes out (it’s raining hard) I hear a distinct ouch coming from the disused AM side of the building. I’m on the phone with Melanie and I have a 1950s microphone in hand (it’s a big microphone) another ouch and Melanie tells me to get out lock the door. So the next day I’m alone at the station so I walked to the AM side and saw a bum’s squat. I went back to university that autumn and I eventually quit smoking
When it comes to dealing with passive-aggressive individuals, it’s important to first know how to recognize these behaviors. Once you're aware of what signs to look out for, don’t be afraid to calmly point them out without judgment. Just make the other person notice how they’re choosing to communicate, and give them the opportunity to be more direct. Be patient, and provide them space to work through whatever is going on in their mind. And try not to take any of their passive-aggression personally.

Where I live, you must not put paper in the toilet, the sewerage system isn’t equipped for it. You use a bidet hose to clean, then paper to dry, and put the paper in the bin, which is emptied regularly throughout the day. If people not putting paper in the loo drives you nuts, consider that they may be from somewhere else.

Sign On The Accessible Toilets At Work

BookFanatic 1 year ago
We had to start locking the men's room at work--just the men's.

The culprit obviously wasn't meant to be using these toilets, because all the people shown on the sign are already bald.
If you’re trying to work on cutting down your own passive-aggressive behavior, Simply Psychology recommends first considering why you’re acting that way in the first place. Did you pick up these habits from a parent or your partner? Does it happen more often when you’re in a situation where you’re scared to be assertive? Reflect on where this might be coming from, and work on being more self-aware so you can prevent yourself from resorting to passive-aggressive behavior in the future.

I met the girl that I scared the next Saturday night and we hit it off. That relationship lasted to the end of the quarter. I haven’t the foggiest as to where she is now…
It’s also wise to try to accept how you feel in any given situation, rather than trying to push away your emotions by becoming silent or sarcastic. Simply Psychology notes that it’s perfectly normal and healthy to have emotions. There’s no need to try to eliminate them. In fact, it’s much better to communicate how we’re feeling with others than to use passive-aggressive behaviors to mask what's going on inside our heads.

Dear upstairs neighbour with timber floors. When you go out at 10pm every Thu, Fri and Sat night, could you maybe put your high heels on last and remove them first when you get home at 3am? You really don’t need to do laps of the apartment while dressing/undressing, applying/removing makeup, changing the get-ready-to-party/get-ready-to-sleep music.
Sindhuja 8 months ago
I get the message, but the upstairs neighbour isn’t always insensitive. For example, I remember when I used to practice Bharatnatyam (an Indian dance) at home, because where else could I practice it? This dance form, unfortunately, does require you to stomp a bit, and while I tried to soften my steps, I couldn't do much as it’s not the same thing anymore. But yes, I do see that I may have been tiresome for my downstairs neighbour.
George LaMonica 1 year ago (edited)
I'm willing to bet no one is actually stomping and the downstairs neighbor is just a Karen. If you live in an apartment building and get annoyed at children running in the apartment above you or the person walking around, the problem is you not accepting that you live in an apartment building and you should go buy a house or move into a poured concrete building instead of a stick build.
If you have a tendency to become passive-aggressive, you probably also need to work on becoming more assertive. Yes, this can be difficult if you’re terrified to tell a waiter that your order was wrong or you’ve never had to tell a friend that you don’t feel like hanging out with them. But I assure you, it gets easier the more and more you practice. Plus, it feels much better to simply state what you need than to hold it inside and have a terrible time.

So you had a hand towel to dry your decidedly larger than hand towel body. And you can't get another bath sheet because they're on the top shelf but you can't reach it.

Huh? In australia, double unbroken lines are only used to make a distinction between incoming and outgoing traffic lanes, they're not used on the sides of streets. There is absolutely no way anyone parked over "double, unbroken lines" unless they'd stopped in the middle of the street and abanonded their vehicle.

While I get the annoyance of having to go outside to deal with a garbage bin issue, trying to gain sympathy by complaining about -5 weather makes my Canadian self want to mock you until you shrivel up in embarrassment.

-5?? That's nothing!! That's still shorts and t shirts weather! Bïtch please! Come back and say this when it's -70°C, the winds are howling, and there's 3 metres of snow on the ground, and then I'll take it seriously

I don't know how it works down under but here in the States I have learned to just call the police and have the person blocking my property ticketed, fined and towed at their own expense. That is the only way to get them to stop.

A little info for Pandas intending to donate full body to research. Check the cost of body transportation as some actually charge the donor's estate. I recently chose a different institute for this very reason.

Spotted This Note On A Car On My Work Carpark Last Year

Ok, after much consternation I believe I have figured it out. "I had a meeting at 1545 and could not get out due to (you) parking your car here". I really got stuck on "doe" for a long time.

Spotted In A Discount Store's Stairwell

This is not passive. It’s a fire hazard that is being blocked by people.
Brian Droste 1 year ago (edited)
Need to,put up a sign saying "If we find any stuff stored in the stairwell, we will dispose of it. This will be inforced..." Then give a specific date. Then follow through with it.
Kare Deter 1 year ago
If you are storing stuff in an area not meant for storage, don't be surprised when your stuff disappears into the garbage.
Diandra “Mss Didi” Blackthorn 1 year ago
We solved the problem in a building where a tenant repeatedly did this by putting a note that said, "The next time ANYTHING is stored here, it will be put on the street so that the building does not receive further fines from the Fire Department and so that respectful tenants will not incur a rent raise due to offenders." The offender outted himself by screaming and yelling when his bike was put on the street. When he sued the landlord, the judge favored his eviction.
Karen Philpott 1 year ago
We have an exterior door that keeps getting blocked by other tenants. I think they don't realise that it's an Emergency Exit. It has signage on the outside of it so it shouldn't be a problem.

I Live With Roommates And Made This Sign Instead Of Talking To Them About This
Denise Indoung 1 year ago
A co-worker gave my mother this to once, and I've used it ever since. I store my sponge in a shallow dish of bleach spitting, and when I run the dish washer once a week I throw it in there. It always smells nice now.

Or if it's a proper sponge one side, scourer the other, soak it, pop it in the microwave for one minute on high and it will be just as safe as one done in bleach. Got that from Good Housekeeping!

I Parked My ‘79 Porsche 911 (Which I Paid For) In A Reserved Spot And Found This Note On My Car. My Parents Have Given Me Nothing But Love And Life And I Currently Support Them Financially

Interesting how he focus' on where the money to purchase his car came from rather than his own @ssholiness of parking in a reserved spot that wasn't reserved for him.

"Reserved spot" means translated to my language a spot reserved for a specific user/group of users. Who these are, is depending on the sign on a pole or on the floor, specifying the user/user group by words, a number plate or symbol. As this is omitting here, nobody knows if OP is in the right or wrong. Tedious research (aka clicking on the username and reading the explanation popping up) revealed: "Business’ reserved parking and that business was closed for the day so those spots are essentially useless overnight. The lady who left the note had no relationship to the business ". So OP's action is totally okay, he did not hinder anyone. No hydrant involved, emergency exit or space to park the big red car with flashy lights.
George LaMonica 1 year ago
Even if the business is closed, those sports are still reserved for them and they pay for them (making parking in them trespassing and theft). Just because they are closed to the public doors not mean they don't have employees inside doing work. Frankly, the business should not have left the note, they should have called the police to have the Porsche ticketed, fined and towed, as is their right

Per Reddit: Ok_Pair2022 - Little bit of an a-hole. Business’ reserved parking and that business was closed for the day so those spots are essentially useless overnight. The lady who left the note had no relationship to the business
Peaj 1 year ago
Wow. Judgey much?? Dude parked in a spot that was reserved for a business…but said business wasn’t open at the time of him parking there, therefore rendering said spot useless. So even the note writer couldn’t use the spot if they’re following the rules. But if the spot is reserved for a business and the business is closed on the weekends and the parking lot also serves, let’s say, a popular food joint, you’re telling me you’re going to not park in that spot? Please.
