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?

3rd form Social Studies classWe were a rowdy bunch and often wouldn't shut up when asked. The teacher, Ms Wood, was a fragile sort and would yell at us to get our attention and give up when we didn't listen. One typical day we weren't taking much notice in class and after over half an hour of trying to teach us unruly bunch, Ms Wood had enough and yelled, 'My mother died last week, I don't need this!" and ran out of the class crying. Mouths dropped and the whole class looked round at each other in shock. Ms Wood fetched the vice principal who then gave us a right bollocking. We all felt so bad we made a card saying how sorry we were and we would be good in future. The card didn't work though. Ms Wood ended up having a week off and we got a new Social Studies teacher after that. So, in essence if one of our teachers hadn't already had a breakdown then they were due one pretty smartly.
