What would you consider an iconic example of passive aggressive behaviour? Is there one instance that springs to mind when you hear the term?

Why would you ask such a question? Do you even care how this affects passive aggressive people?
 
It's always so hard to come up with a good example. All I can think of now are backhanded compliments (Wow, I never liked big teeth before, but they really look awesome on you!)
 
I posted from my sickbed to say hi to you and you never saw it. But that's okay.
 
No, it's alright. I can carry in all the groceries myself, after all God gave me two arms.
 
No female TSA screeners at the airport when you arrive to catch the last flight out for the day, and they insist on a pat down but not by a male screener.
 
*bang...slam..bang* "no, I'm not mad, I'm just closing all these cabinets that opened themselves"

Perfect example! Right here on the GB and a pattern he did before on the PG. He who shall remain nameless starts a seemingly innocent thread asking a question. Get all trigger happy hurling insults, and then apologize and acquiesce and play the victim card.

Wash, rinse, repeat!
