The time for wars, physical conflicts, and gentlemen’s duels is over. Nowadays, the new getting mad is about not getting mad at all, but instead, waiting for an opportunity to express hostility in a confusing, subtle, and sometimes even “nice” manner.

That’s what people call passive-aggressive behavior, and there are a lot of ways of doing it. If you need some inspiration to tell your roommate that he needs to clean up his act, you’ve come to the right place! There’s plenty of passive-aggressiveness in the following images, and some of our examples are utterly hilarious. Passive-aggressive behavior may not always work, but it certainly beats having to roll your sleeves and use your fists to get your message through.

As humanity becomes more and more civilized, we set ourselves apart from our violent ancestors. But violence still lies inside every one of us, waiting for the right moment to appear in the form of a passive-aggressive remark, sign on the wall or post-it in the fridge.

World War Wi-Fi

It’s common to use a funny name for your Wi-Fi network. But we have to admit it seems a lot more fun to use your Wi-Fi name to send a passive-aggressive message to your neighbor!

Maybe you live next door to a musician, and you want to send him a message without necessarily leaving the house. What better way to do it than through your Wi-Fi network? Now he knows all about how much you hate his so-called music, and you don’t even have to sweat it. But wait! You’ve made a terrible grammar mistake! And now this well-read musician is coming back at you with a snarky Wi-Fi reply. We don’t expect casualties in this Wi-Fi war, but we do think some sensibilities will be hurt!

In the meantime, here are some cleverly funny Wi-Fi names that don’t have to resort to passive-aggression to make us laugh: “Abraham Linksys,” “LAN Solo,” “It Hurts When IP,” “Lord Voldemodem,” “Wu-Tang LAN,” “Definitely Not An FBI Surveillance Van,” and the all-time classic “Password is 1234”.
