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?

My own PA revengeMrs YC's posh sister is PA evil. She was always having digs at my expense and was even worse if she thought only I could hear. But she does like to have all of the family around for meals at her very large victorian dining table in the posh front room.
So...
Me and the Mrs became vegan whenever we were around her and the rest of the in-laws. We had the moral high ground so she couldn't say anything. But you could see she was fuming as she had to accommodate us.
"I've got nothing in for you, you'll just have the vegetables" thinking she'd won.
"No thats fine for us, don't put yourself to any trouble", as me and wifey ate platefuls of veg. But we could see she was fuming, think the Exorcist head spinning scene.
Whenever we visited we would always nip out for a pint on our own, McEwans Export withdrawal. Now we go via the local Burger King sniggering all the way.
