I don’t know about you, but I hate passive aggressiveness.
I’d rather you come to my face and scold me in any colourful language you can muster, rather than a long message that looks like it’s for BuffLord95 but is obviously targeted to describe me.
Because you either be a man and stand up to me, or just shut the f*** up.
But it seems like in recent times, passive aggressiveness has become a new way to attack others.
Like this latest incident, which of course is essentially a one-sided story but the passive aggressiveness is a tad too much to handle.

Yesterday, Facebook user Jack Lee took it to Facebook to share a “bad experience” with a wedding photographer. Here’s the super long post with super long WhatsApp messages:
So, super long story cut short, we’ve come out with the tl;dr version:
- Couple has already paid for a videographer for their wedding, but decided to forfeit the deposit to the videographer to engage Allure Wedding, most probably due to its good portfolio
- It seems like Allure Wedding was willing to lower its price to get the couple’s business
- It was alleged that Allure Wedding would send its Principal Videographer (the main videographer?) in this message sent by them: “oh you mean this? means although we reduce the price for you, i’ll still be there to shoot your wedding for you.”
- They had engaged them to shoot the ROM as well
- Two weeks before the wedding, the couple was told an Associate Videographer would come instead
- Couple isn’t happy because they wanted the Principal Videographer
- Couple told to send an email to Allure Wedding with words provided by Allure Wedding to cancel the shoot during the wedding and to receive the ROM footage
- Now, this is a very one-sided account: Allure Wedding then claimed he’s not paid enough and the couple is asking for too much
Suffice to say, anyone would be boiling with anger if that one-sided account is true.
There are always two sides to a coin…until a temper is lost and a shade is thrown.

Have you ever seen the Gucci boss posting something like this on social media:
“Walking into a Gucci store and expect Adidas-priced bag? #dontunderstand #neitherdowe #50for5k #budgehuman”
No? Of course not. No business in their right mind would do that, even when lowballers are always contacting businesses.
A polite “no” would suffice; there’s no need to go for the passive aggressive manner, though you’d be surprised at how many people do that.

And this Instagram post:
Lest you can’t read it, here are the words:
“We bought a HDB, where is our pool and security guards and tennis court?”
“Good. Now you’re giving me a pool, guards and courts. Don’t forget the bbq pits!”
“We bought a poodle, why didn’t you send us a husky? We are big dog lovers and we deserve a husky.” #dontunderstand

#budgebride are perfectly fine and logical cos they dont normally come to us.
Get the idea now?
Let’s just say that netizens aren’t really happy with the post.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think Gucci ever says publicly that low-SES people don’t carry their bags.
In private, maybe, because it’s part of their brand which they’ve built for so long.
But openly?
Not perfectly fine and not logical.
Would you be jailed for being half-naked in public? Well, the answer will shock you. Seriously. Watch this to the end and you'll understand:
