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?

scotsI am in the unhappy situation of being one of those English/Scottish hybrids (although I consider myself Scottish). The only member of my family who plays the passive-aggressive guilt trip game is my Scottish grandfather.
I like to deal with people who have bad personality disorders by ignoring them or simply not talking to them so I don't have any entertaining stories about it. My sister and fellow b3tan b3th may have the goods though.
