I think double is slightly aggressive but normal. There are players that love to make heavy preempts in 3rd seat, and they pay off on hands like this. They give up on 3N and sometimes partner cannot double if the opponents get out of line.

If I knew I had one on my left I would honestly pass. If they do it too often, it borders on a partnership agreement, but good luck with that one.

While partner holding a 9 count isnt unusual, its sucks you have all these cards offside.

Partner's pass of the x is nuts.
