Later that night, the group is working online. Alex messages in the group chat.
Jamie (Assertive): Taylor, if you needed help, you could’ve just said so.
Alex (Aggressive): Where’s your part, Taylor? We’re waiting
1. Taylor (Passive-Aggressive): Oh, I just assumed you two would do it since you’re so amazing at planning.
2. Taylor: Oh, no worries! I LOVE cramming all night because of certain people’s planning skills.
