My wife is a perfectionist, to a fault.'

Put a small deck in the front of our house, years ago. Had a railing - with spindles. I intentionally put one of the spindles in upside down. I assembled the railing in my barn. She never said anything, but I know it drove her mad.

Years later, we tore that deck and railing out and installed a composite deck in place of the wood deck. I did all of the ground work, got to where I was just cutting the composite boards to length in order to install them with the "hidden" method - the screws can't be seen.

She asked if she could help. I said no. She helped anyway, much to my chagrin. I had many of the boards laid out, not fastened. Her "This one isn't straight." That's because I'm not screwing that one in, I'm doing THIS board, not that one. That one will be straight when I get THIS one done. Here, take the screw gun. Put the placers in place like this, I'll align the next board, and you screw it in. No, hon, you didn't put the placers in like I told you.........."
