PASSIVE

Had an interesting conversation about passive-aggressiveness last night. Some lovely friends and I were at the Zipper Factory celebrating a birthday. And when about an hour had passed since most people left, and they had brought in the chalkboard sign from outside, and they had turned most of the chairs over on their respective tables - we were still sitting there, chatting away.

And then something funny happened.

Music began to play. And loud music. Where there was no music before. And the songs that we heard - in this order - were:

Closing Time
Ease On Down The Road
So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen, Goodbye

And as the Von Trapp family sang us out, we had a good laugh about the inherent passive-aggressive moments that happen all around us.
