Always got in trouble for not doing things EXACTLY their way.

"Squeeze the kitchen sponge to get all the water out. In your fist! Squeeze harder. See? It still has water in it. (I use two hands to get the water out.) No, don't twist it!"

"Why not?"

Angry for some unknown reason. "That's not how you do it!"

I still don't understand it. I guess they were taught mimicry with coercion. Now stuck in that mode.
