That is not passive aggressiveness. That is tone of voice being offensive or causing bad feelings. Those are two very different things.

Passive aggressiveness is an indirect action/inaction to get your way.

Meh. When I'm passive aggressive it's when I'm trying to surpress my annoyance about something, but it sneaks out anyway.

Passive aggressive behaviour is the direct outcome of someone being on the receiving end of dominating or controlling behaviour. If you don't want people to avoid saying what they think to you then you cannot crush them under the weight of your overbearing manner.
