Passive-aggressive people vent their anger indirectly. They are the people who key cars when someone cuts them out of their parking space, or show up two hours late and spoil an evening that someone is looking forward to. (Gee, I'm sorry, but I had to....)

Impulse disorders involve a person's inability or unwillingness to learn to control impulses. Such a person is likely to make poor decisions by reacting to situations instead of thinking them through. (Remember the car keying?)

Healthy people wait until they regain their composure. Then, if necessary they confront the real issue, rather than projecting their anger onto other people and situations.

The two, taken together, would probably make it quite difficult for a person to interact with the rest of their world in an effective, cooperative way.

This person tends to express hostility or anger indirectly through subtle behaviors rather than openly communicating their feelings. Additionally, they may struggle with controlling impulsive behaviors that can lead to acting without thinking. It's important for them to seek therapy to address both issues.
