Being shady can be associated with passive aggressiveness. A person who is being shady;

1. They will be friends with you, and unexpectedly not be in contact for an extended amount of time. The person will suddenly appear like everything's peachy but you can sense they're hiding something.

2. You have a friend or mutual friend and you've been talking a bit, and it seems to be good but it soon turns out that the person has been doing some undermining things. There will be no obvious or non at all, drama or beef going on, but the person publicly announces something about you but not directly towards you. It could be about how the person thinks of you -not in a good way - , or says something private that it's so obviously about you they might as well mail it to your house.

3. This is very unprofessional and probably not the most likely situation: If your boss at a new work place fires you for something they know you didn't do. It could be because they simply dislike you for an reason unknown, or you remind them of an ex, are jealous of you, remind you of someone they hated or they dislike a family member of yours. They could also fire you because they simply favour the other party who actually caused whatever happened.
1. Shady person: "Hey girl!"

You: "Hey, haven't talked to you in ages! I texted you a few times and have seen you online... what's up with that? Bit shady 😒.

2. Shady person: *Posts a picture with a caption like - 'reply for a tbh on my story ;)' or 'reply for a we get it' (13 year olds compliment each other by saying... we get it •blank• you're super pretty!")*

Shady person: Posts on story "tbh/ you're bitchy" or "we get it Anna you're a try hard "
*You are Anna and you find out that person has been fake this whole time/shady about the situation by publicly announcing that.

3. Explains itself. Boss fires you when they are aware it wasn't you that cause something to happen or favour another person.
