I have called my parents every Saturday morning for 30 -odd years.
Each Saturday morning, after we moved to our first house, AH would start doing tear-down/construction in the same room while I was on the phone with my folks.
Frankly, nothing he was doing was time-sensitive. There were plenty of things he could have been doing, someplace else. I think he was peeved that I was chatting while he was working. I'd call it passive/aggressive, but if he did it on purpose, it isn't really passive at all, is it?
