Passive-Aggressive CF Reactions

I apparently shocked my husband here yesterday by using the "useful" reaction on a post of his to passive-aggressively call him a tool. I honestly can't think of more than a half-dozen times I've used that earnestly.

Am I alone in using reactions to be P/A? What other ones do you use? (Obviously the "dumb" one is just straight-aggressive.)


I like to think I originated use of the wrench as tool when I used it on @cyrocksmypants early on. P/A pioneer over here.
 
Also, if someone has a nearly full rack (at least one of each reaction) I will add a missing reaction whether I mean it or not, just to give them a clean sweep of reactions. :D

As I started to read this, my first thought was, "How do you see their rack?"

I can't second this ^ hard enough. It's one of the finer, rare little joys of my days on CF.

I tend to use 'creative' as a highly-rated honor, an elevated version of 'funny'.

'Friendly' seems to be my most passive-aggressive yet polarized use case. I'll use it on jerkface comments to kill them with kindness, yet also sometimes a heart is just the only acceptable rating to send your sincere love and appreciation (here's looking at you, CW and staff).

Why use emojis when you can use gifs?

Given a choice, I balance out the reactions. If I want to gift a positive reaction and there’s two agrees, two likes, and one winner, I’ll choose Winner so all of them are 2x.
Otherwise I’m with kc. Winner, Heart, or Tool all day.
 
I usually hit the thumbs up, agree check mark or winner. For some reason, a substantial number of my posts elicit negative responses. For some of you, I've managed to hurt your sensitive feelings.

I don't care, hok sissies!
