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?

passive-aggressive? moi?i do it all the time with the bestial bed shitting boss. sit there in sulky silence or make a martyr of myself by doing everything for him but refusing to let him even buy me a diet coke. and it gets me absolutely nowhere. the moral of the story: the other person has to give a flying fuck for it to work. if they don't care, it won't wear!
edit - ok, i exaggerate. but i do sulk when he does something unacceptable. and sometimes it works. but still, don't try this at home kids...
