You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yeah, because confronting someone directly about a problem is the most passive aggressive behavior ever.

Sounds like he perhaps had a legit gripe about you.
I would think a better example of passive agressive is to write a IA about the incident afterwords and threaten the guy then. Like you did.

I'm happy John Cusack's role from High Fidelity spontaneously sprang into existance and moved to Portland. Bravo.

"His" railing, sheesh! If the douchebag felt THAT way, then he should've put a sign up. Certain railing fixtures downtown have little plaques on them saying not to use these as bike racks. And guess what... PEOPLE ACTUALLY OBLIGE!

You should've told him to just fuck off, THEN what was he gonna do?
