Passive-aggressive behavior is a form of passive resistance to others through procrastination, excuse-making, obstructionism, or poor or destructive performance of tasks where the person engaging in the behavior does not take responsibility for his or her actions or inactions. For example, a teen who reluctantly agrees to a parents' request to wash the family's dishes, procrastinates, and then "accidentally" breaks a few dishes when finally washing them is engaged in passive-aggressive behavior to avoid having to do the dishes in the future.
