‘I don’t appreciate the passive-aggression’: Hypocritical roommate spars with tenants over dirty dishes and petty sticky notes

Sure, passive-aggressive behavior is not the ideal way to handle an awkward roommate situation, but sometimes, it's the most effective way to make your point heard.

For instance, a friend of mine had an upstairs neighbor who stomped around constantly at 3 am every morning. As soon as he was kindly asked to be quiet moving forward, the neighbor argued he was stomping because he was trying to tell her to quiet down. This, of course, was h…
