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?

tripping the kidMy teacher when I was 8, when telling me off, told me 'that I gave her a pain that ran all the way down her left arm'. Little did she know (or maybe she did) that due to being the precociously early reader that I was, I was well aware that this was a precursor to having a heart attack. I spent the rest of that week fretting that she would drop down dead any second and it would be ALL MY FAULT!
To this day my family think she was the best teacher I had. 'Wasn't Mrs Smith wonderful?' they say, and I say 'No, she accused me of giving her a heart attack.' Bah!
