What actually is P/A behavior?
Clearly, it has to do with anger, right?
But anger disguised as incompetence, a mistake, a big 'Whoops!'
The idea of P/A is that the perp gets to act out anger without taking
the consequences.
I am sure you recognize the battle-cry of the P/A:
"Who me? Angry? No way!"
We've been taught that anger is not acceptable, whether it is focused at
a specific target or just generic, everyday annoyance.
P/A is the easy out. Sort of an
emotional 'hit and run'.
Those of us on the receiving end hate it because of how sneaky it is. After all, how can you even think about berating someone who's so …
weak?
