How much of this do you guys encounter in your day-to-day lives? I find this to be among the most annoying traits a person can have.
I'm pretty quick to notice and identify it, and call people out for it directly and let them know that they can talk to me directly about shit they are unhappy with. So, I don't deal with it much on a daily basis.

At my uni when I'm in lectures I hang with a group of 7. 6 of those 7 don't like the last guy to varying degrees but none of them tell him to go away. I personally don't mind him, I think he's ok so I usually end up sitting by him. Is that passive-aggressive or just two faced on their part?

Most women are like that either way.

If they are just sitting away from him to avoid him, it is passive. If they are doing it trying to send him a hint, then it is passive-aggressive.

Don't even act like its just women... passive-aggressive is now the norm for behavior in society. Everything is f*cking handled with passive aggressive behavior...everywhere.

I just block it out. I really don't care for it, I just pretend like it isn't happening and go about my day. Saves a lot of energy compared to trying to wade through the BS of superficial social interactions.

Yep, that is the only thing I encounter in the office.
When my girl does it to me it gets on my nerves more than anything. I told her I would leave her if she would have continued. It's something I can't stand.

Im really stupid. I always hear the term passive aggressive but have no idea what it means.

Generally, it is indirectly letting somebody know you are disappointed in them. An easy example is when somebody is pissed with their partner and they slam kitchen cupboards harder than usual so the other person knows that they are pissed. Another example is not being genuine, such as going "Ok, fine, go on your trip." In the 2nd example, the person is being passive by telling the person they approve of the trip, but using a tone of voice that is indicating that they are unhappy with it.

haha, I suppose you mean men because that shit doesn't work with women at all.
I'm a pretty chill person but people being passive aggressive is one of the only things that makes me wanna slap a dude. I call people out on it, too. Generally, it does not matter.
Passive aggressiveness is in the same vein as lying, to me... weak behavior by weak people who don't have control of their life. That's what passive aggressiveness really is: a subtle rebellion. It's like rebellion within a box. So you say, "You must do this!" and someone has to do it... but they do little things to rebel while doing it.
Like I said, I don't advocate violence but I don't feel bad to see passive aggressive people get slapped. Sometimes ya gotta let a dude know that you'll slap em. Changes their life.

If you act passive aggressive you're a bitch and I won't waste time with you.

Nah, I mean females too and had more females in mind than guys when mentioning this (probably because I've had to employ this with females more frequently). I've lived with 6 non-family females and they all responded fine. I think the important part is to be accurate when calling them out, and calling them out in a non-judgmental way.
My girl would just sit there looking away angry and quiet while I'm trying to diagnose a situation amongst ourselves. I would usually take it in but now I probably throw my fist at her brain. Thank the Lord this girl changed or else she would have brain damage.

General passive-aggressive behavior doesn't bother me. Sometimes I'll **** with the person and just play into everything until they get annoyed enough to drop the ***** act and speak up.
Passive-aggressive actions are something entirely different. If someone tries to send me a hint by putting me in some type of physical situation, I will immediately get in their face and call them out for it. That type of bitch made shit will happen at workplaces a lot where someone can't stand another employee, so they pull a bunch of childish bullshit on the low to **** with them.
