Passive-Aggression is a psychological mechanism for handling hostility or anger in an underhanded or devious way that is hard for others to prove. Sometimes the passive-aggressive is aware of what he or she is doing, and other times not. Yet, the result is the same—things are sabotaged by the passive-aggressive and it somehow is never their fault. A really good passive aggressive is very slippery with excuses, justifications, or alternative reasons for why things go awry.

To avoid losing control either physically or verbally, it is often best to take a temporary "time-out" - and control leave. This tool of anger management works much better if (a) you commit to return within a reasonable amount of time to work things out and (b) you work on your "self-talk" while trying to cool down.
