The passive-aggressive guilt trip
My 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?

Heres another one
Oh my rage..
I once had an extremely possesive bf who did nothing short of practically ruining my life. I was young, naive, and also stupid enough to let him live with me AND go out with him for a year and a half...e.g.
In Brief
me:Hello monkey!did you have a nice day?
stupid monkeyfaced cnut:No i didnt coz mummy wont give me thousand of pounds to fund my drug habit/buy me whatever i want.
me:Oh dear there there.
SMFC:Go to the shop and get me a beer.
me:No.I have no money [he spent it]
SMFC:Oh alright then, dont go to the shop and get me a beer then.
me:Okay then :-)
SMFC:GO TO THE SHOP AND GET ME A ******* BEER! [cue tantrum and breakage of objects]
*sigh* * salbo goes to shop and gets a beer*
second example, same bloke, different accurately descriptive name:
Me: Hello cretinous idiot, im just popping to see my best friends [who i havent seen for weeks] would you like to come? You havent seen anyone for a while...
Cretinous Idiot:No. But why dont you go and have a good time?
me:okay then! see you later!
....few hours later...
Me:hi i had a lovely time
CI: [with scowl] YOUTOOKAGESWEWERESUPPOSEDTOBEHAVINGAQUIETNIGHTALLYOURFRIENDSHATEMEHAVEYOUBEENHAVINGALESBIANAFFAIRGOTOSHOPANDBUYMEABEERGOBUYMEDRUGS.
*sigh* that was also in brief.Being with him for the length of time i was, was the most stupidest thing i ever did...
If i ever see that scowl again i will punch it until it becomes dust. seriously. i feel like punching something now. im taking over the msgboard! mwahahahaha...^_^
