'I love how you just wear anything': 30+ Perfectly passive-aggressive compliments

Here's a little inspiration for your next petty compliment. The next time you need to lightly roast your annoying boss or your unsuspecting aunt, keep a few of these zingers in mind.

There are times to be sassy, and times to zip our lips. There might be times you really want to make fun of your boss who constantly sends emails to the wrong person and is always forgetting things at his desk. But you can't just roast him in front of the whole office and risk your career. But there's nothing stopping you from confusing your boss into thinking he's getting a compliment, when you're actually making fun of him.

When u/ThisGuyAgainz asked, "What's your best passive-aggressive "compliment"?" people did not hold back. They shared their funniest jabs (as well as the quips people told them). Several people wrote that people often say things like, "You look great for a [insert role or descriptor here]." For example, no parent of a newborn wants to hear, "Wow, you look so great for a new mom who's getting no sleep!" Thanks, what a lovely reminder.
