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?

I laid the guilt trip on my Dad the other year,he went mental because I moved the freeview box from one room to another, and he could't figure out how to reconnect it himself so he could watch some shitty program that night.
He bursts into my room and says something like, "You are not supposed to move that fucking box! See all the trouble you have caused by doing this?" (He said more but I can't be arsed typing it.)
I simply replied, "Dad, Mum told me to move it, and could you please go away as I am trying to revise for my maths A Level which is at 9am tomorrow"
Once he realised that I was right, and outsmarted him, we didn't speak for about half a week.
