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?

Car BreakdownSister rings me late-ish one night, "my car has just broken down". It's a horrible night, lashing out of the heavens, floods every where, and she's on the far side of the city (Dublin.)
So I ask her about her AA membership, it's expired... Stopping just short of saying it's not my problem, I say to her that I don't know what we can do at this stage.
What do I hear down the phone....?
The gentle sound of tears hitting the steering wheel....
