[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your example of her losing her temper is an email where she says she'll resubmit a form but is not pleased she has to do so because it was lost by the daycare, I'm not sure you've ever met someone with a temper.  [/quote]

It's not about losing a temper though that happens too. It's about harping on a point that should be let go.

Daycare email 1: We're sorry but we can't find this form. Can you please resubmit it?
DH reply 1: Yes, we'll take care of it.
DW reply 1: Why did you lose this form? We submitted it on date X? This is really frustrating because we submitted it already. (Probably unnecessary email.)
Daycare reply: I'm really sorry about this but we don't have it. Please drop off another copy when you can.
DW reply 2: I know you can't find it, but we submitted it. It's really frustrating that we have to do this again. (DEFINITELY unnecessary email.)[/quote]

Maybe you're right and you're just not explaining it well, but it honestly feels like you're the one making this a bigger deal than it has to be.  DW email 1: giving them the date so they can check their email for the form.  Email 2: She has to reply to the email since they restated the request, but there's no reason the reply has to be "No problemo!"  It was frustrating.  This is not a big deal, and the fact that you're holding it up as a character defect in your wife and insisting it's proof that she's mean to people is weird.

Example 1: the guy messed up twice and she insisted it be fixed.
Example 2: the daycare messed up and she said it was frustrating to have to resubmit the form when both parties acknowledge you've already done so.

I'm just not seeing anything that calls for an anonymous internet thread about how embarrassing she is.  I'm with the PP who was expecting to read about a real piece of work when I saw the thread title, but there's just no there there.[/quote]
