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?

My mother is a killer with it.She rang me over and over again at work one day (we're not allowed to take mobile calls during the day, or even theoretically allowed to have our mobiles on, yeah right). SO eventually, after about 8 calls, I finally slink out and pick up with the opening line of
"What the hell are you doing? You know I'm not allowed to use my mobile at work, you could have gotten me sacked!"
Kills me stone dead with "Sorry, but I'm about to go in for that operation I told you about, and I wanted just to speak to you before hand, you know, just in case"
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh!
*Is a bad son*
