A person who uses passive-aggressive methods to cope with stresses does this by others through passive means. Often the 'attacking' passive aggressive person agrees easily at the time (peace at any price), however they then bottle all their feelings up to unravel them on you at a later date. (dump on you shall we say). Thus the aggressive intent is cloaked by the passive method. These people are often lovely, but can actually be harder to deal with than a strong minded person who just says it like it is. Can any of you relate to this?
