Get the passive tosser mug.Passive spam is basically a Facebook or other social network post that has a completely pointless call to action. The defining factor is that the quiz or question is not meant to offer any type of challenge, but instead is simply a tool to arbitrarily increase page reach.
Passive spam consists of stupid quiz-like questions on Facebook that either require some small amount of math or analytical skills (in order to make the people responding feel intelligent...even though they aren't)
Also, the classic "like or my grandmother will die" type posts. In this context the spammer is using the person's good nature to accomplish their goals instead of the person's desire to answer a question (that usually is incredibly simple to figure out).

Get the passive spam mug.When someone should be listening to what you are saying but they are mentally too busy thinking of what they want to say or are interrupting you to get their point across or jump ahead of you telling the story because they can't wait for you to finish. This causes them to ask a question about the thing you are talking about before you are able to get it out or ask about something you said but they missed because they aren't really listening. As opposed to an active listener who is genuinely interested in hearing what you are trying to tell them regarding an incident or a story or information.
You: So I told her don't be all up in my business because. ..
Them: So she left or stayed or what?
You: I'm trying to tell you what happened. Don't be such a passive listener.

Get the Passive-aggressive mug.Wearing a cosplay costume, at an inappropriate time/place, to tick off someone you dislike, instead of having a verbal confrontation with them. It works best when used on people who are too stupid to get your reference. Passive aggressive cosplay can be used as an effective form of non-verbal protest.
