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 haven't got a story of my own yet, but......the best story about guilt trip i've read so far was the end of filth by irvine welch.
(SPOILER, don't read on when you read it yourself)
it's been a while but i think it went something like this:
the protagonist decides to top himself by connecting a gun to the door so the trigger is pulled as soon as someone opens the door. he then puts on a t-shirt with 'it's all your fault' on it and calls his ex-wife to come around.
so he sits there with the gun in this mouth and
the last thing he sees is that it's his beloved daughter, not the wife who opens the door.
brilliant.
/at least i admit it's not my story.
