Passive-aggressive behavior is anti-social behavior without being overt. For example, your hands are not quite clean, so you wipe them on your brother's towel instead of your own. Another example would be speaking in a low tone, when you know it makes it hard to be understood.
A common and excellent example of passive-aggressive behavior would be to say something insulting about someone and then follow it with "Only kidding!"
Passive-aggressive behavior is a defense mechanism, and is often not recognized by the person doing it. Others, however, find it obvious and annoying.
