My mom does the same thing, except the words are passive-aggressive even if the tone isn't. Just the other night we went to a little theater show for kids, and season ticket holders got to enter and choose a seat before people who only bothered to buy a ticket for a show they actually wanted to see. This theater normally hosts non-child-centered plays, so all the people getting in early were adults, and my mother very loudly declared, staring right at them as they filed past us, "I certainly hope all these big people aren't going to be sitting in the front."
