Why tell them? It won't make any difference?
-
Slap them. I gaurantee there will no longer be any passivity. Then they won't want to be around you either. Win-Win!
-
Put a "please" in front of "dont be passive-aggressive bitch".
-
I'm going to relay that sentiment to my g/f in the next week or so. Basically. just say, it's been a fun three years (or whatever) but I'm not dealing with it any longer. It's been nice knowing you. And you have no clue how close I was to asking you to marry me. Then walk away...and make sure it's for good.

I figure people have a choice to be whatever they wish to be. if someone wants to be passive aggressive, i see that as being a whole lot better than active aggressive, so i just leave them to their issues and move along.

"Please, if you would be so kind, do not be a passive-aggressive bitch. Otherwise, I'll bury you in a box."
-
When you stop treating her like a "bitch", you might see a different point of view. Otherwise, no one said you had to be personal buddies with her.
-
Seriously, I doubt there is much you can do but you could suggest that you know they are mad at you and why don't they come out and say exactly what they think so you can deal with it once and for all. Of course, they'll probably deny they're angry and then you can say "yeah right" and they probably will lose their temper then.
-
Excuse me, stop being a passive-aggressive bitch! Thank You.
-
You don't. There isn't a nice way to say that to someone. If you don't like the behavior of someone that you have been in the company of them remove yourself from their company and don't be associated with them. Leave to be that without your presence.
-
You can't wrap those sentiments up in a nice package and present it as nice with a simple please or thank you added. Telling people not to be something typically doesn't work anyway as most do not respond favorably to demands. You could try conveying your concerns by way of discussion. Start by saying something positive, like: You're a really good friend (or whatever), but I have noticed that you do this (insert examples of undesirable behaviors here) and it concerns me. Give the person a chance to respond and see where the discussion leads. You may get nowhere or the person may realize that their behavior is poor and decide to make a change for the better. Most likely it will be the former, but one can always hope.

Don't be a passive-agressive bitch
-
why do you want to be passive aggressive when telling her? Thats not teaching her anything. I'd just say. "Listen Bitch, you're passive aggressive and I'm talking behind your back!"
-
People are usually passive aggressive because they have been punished in the past for asserting themselves but they still have angry feelings and feel they have to let them out somehow. It's a hard problem to solve.
-
just like that but with a wide, engaging smile? Depends on what it is about them makes them passive-aggressive. Address the symptoms that make up the diagnosis not just the diagnosis itself. ie, rather than tackling the overall diagnosis of passive agressive bitch, look the symptoms - what it is that makes them a passive agressive bitch. Work out if it's possible that you're interpreting it as that but it could be something else entirely. Are you contributing to the situation in some way? Also, if what she's doing is offensive or a breach of your work code of conduct or even the law itself, tackle it via the appropriate channels. otherwise, try to get to know her better - sometimes this can help tone her down - it's harder to be passive-aggressive or even bitchy to someone you like in some way. Good luck - and if all else fails, poison her coffee with laxatives... ;)

I don't know if you can use the word Bitch and be nice at the same time, i am sure that there are some wordsmiths out there who could pull it off.
