The 'Emotional Blackmail' post got me thinking about the personality types that we have to put up with. Although I don't have any emotional blackmailers, I do have some people around me who are passive/aggressive. These are the people who won't speak up when asked, but find a way to get what they want just the same.

You want to arrive at a function ON TIME (geeeze another topic there...) and agree to carpool with another person and she agrees to the time to meet. In actuality, she wants to leave a half-hour later so she arrives at the meeting place a half-hour late and tells you that there is plenty of time to get there. You arrive late.

.....or the person who agrees to go to a movie that, as it turns out, she doesn't really want to see, so she arrives at your house too late to catch the cheapy matinée and then complains that it's too expensive for her to go at the regular price.

.....or the one who will 'go along' with whatever restaurant decision is made by the group and then complains through the entire meal about how bad the service ALWAYS is and how bad the food ALWAYS is.....
