Maybe not great for management style, but a solid 10 for comedic style. It doesn't sound like she was not exhibiting good interpersonal skills either. I'm not sure there's anything all that wrong with being passive-aggressive. People always act like it is a bad thing, but there are much worse ways to deal with anger and such. I knew someone that had a previous boss throw a telephone book at them. She certainly wasn't being passive but full on aggressive. And that's gotta be much worse, right? So, you sulk a little bit or give someone the cold shoulder, it's just your way of coping. We don't all want to sit down and have a chat about our feelings over a mug of hot tea and then have a big hug afterward. But I could just be saying that because quite often I am passive aggressive girl (yes, with the cape and everything). That is an awesome comeback though!

I do realize when I am being angry or resentful, but I definitely don't deal with it in a healthy way - sulking and muttering to myself are favorites. And I will cry any time I have to talk about myself at all - even if it isn't a sensitive subject or something I'm upset about. I've been thinking I could use some therapy for awhile now, but that would mean i have to talk about myself, so no, that probably won't happen. Love the comeback! basically, that was about me.
