Passive-aggressive folk get boost
In this disturbing article, passive-aggressive types in Seattle get a boost from the Post-Intelligencer, with an article about passive-aggressive signs at local cafés.
The article goes on and on about how "rude" customers are to clerks and how having signs and being passive-aggressive helps their businesses run better. I swear... only in Seattle can many small businesses thrive while telling their customers that they are rude and giving them directions on how to act appropriately.
In most places, if someone was behaving in an unacceptable fashion, someone would merely open their mouth and communicate this information, rather than just having a rude sign.
