Mostly woman-to-woman phenomena, passive bitchive behaviour is a common form of covert abuse related to individuals who are bitches under cover.
There is a thin line between being a bitch to being a passive bitchive person. When a girl is a behaving as bitch to you, you know that you've been abused. It is easily identified. Passive bitchive behaviour is disguised by actions that seem to be innocent but are in fact a sophisticated way of expressing one bitchiness.
Passive bitchive behavior stems from the need to behave cruelly in an indirect way.

Passive viewing, watching TV programme or parts thereof, not of your choice to which you've been "exposed."
It is passive viewing if you are watching a television programme you don't particularly want to see, either because you've caught a part of it while changing channels, or by selecting the wrong channel.
Suffering a programme because you are in the company of someone who wants to watch it is passive viewing.
