The passive-aggressive guilt tripMy mother is an expert in the guilt-trip. Last week she phoned to say "Happy Birthday" and, after a 10 minute conversation, finished with, "Well, I hope you have a nicer time than I did on the day you were born."
She also stated that she was going to kill herself when she reached 65. On Christmas Day morning. Having rung up to see if there was anything she could bring for lunch.
I think it's just a mother thing, but how good are your relatives and friends at the passive-aggessive?

Stupid guilt-trippingNow, a lot of you have been made to feel guilty for not doing something. I get that it's an evil way to get something for nothing, but why use it on someone else when you have to do just as much work...
First, set the scene:
Sitting at dinner at home, I sit with my back to the wall. If I want to get out, my sister has to move.
Can you see what it is yet?
Cue sister asking me to get her a drink.
What?!
To do that, she has to move. When i point this out to her, she tries the guilt trip: 'FINE, I'll just do EVERYTHING myself then' (notice her sophisticated use of sarcasm)
On the upside, I'm 150-ish miles away at Uni. And she's an arsebadger.
Apologies for breadth and depth.
Edit: Technical question to whoever (just checked, I first saw it used by I Am An Oddity www.b3ta.com/questions/your_greatest_dilemmas/post9814/ ) invented what is a cracking piece of vulgarity, on a par with jimmynudgery and fucksocks, can the ladies be arsebadgers?
