If you’re not familiar with the concept of passive aggressive, Psychology Today lists these 10 phrases as common P.A. statements. (Comments in italics are mine.)
1. “I’m Not Mad.”
(Nope. Not me. You’re the one who’s mad. You just don’t know it yet.)

2. “Fine.””Whatever.”
(If I ignore you, maybe you’ll go away. Or stop existing.)
3. “I’m Coming!”
(Eventually—maybe.)
4. “I Didn’t Know You Meant Now.”
(Now—as in this century? What’s the rush?)
5. “You Just Want Everything to be Perfect.”
(Well, that’s the last time I’m going to perform a vasectomy on you, Mr. Pickydicki.)
6. “I Thought You Knew.”
(I was sure you could read my mind.)
7. “Sure, I’d be Happy To.”
(Happy to slap you silly, you jerk.)
8. “You’ve Done so Well for Someone with Your Education Level.”
(Of course, that wasn’t an insult. But—if you like—I’ll explain it again slowly so you understand.)
9. “I Was Only Joking”
(If I wasn’t joking, I’d have used a real grenade.)
10. “Why Are You Getting So Upset?”
(Chill out, dude. That snake I put in your bed probably isn’t even poisonous.)

Sooner or later most writers get asked to write a book about someone.
It’s rarely a good idea and the people who want you to write about them rarely have money.
It used to happen to me a lot when I was a reporter. Fortunately, since I started writing comics, it’s never happened.
And, honestly, if I was going to write anyone’s story, I’d write my own. But so far I haven’t offered myself enough money. And offering sex is pointless.
I’m already sleeping with myself..
