Do you tend to make mountains out of molehills?

"Hey, you forgot to turn off the tap again."
As if you have always remembered yourself...
"The heater, dude! Off the heater after you shower!"
As if you have never forgotten...
"You did not do what I asked you to do again!"
As if you always jumped to do my things...

Let's think back. Have you ever yelled at someone or blamed him because he forgot one thing or another? Maybe you told him to wipe his shoes on the carpet before coming in. Maybe you told him to bring his dishes to the basin even if he is not going to wash them. Maybe you reminded her 10,001 times to screw the tap tight after use.

Do you tend to make mountains out of molehills? The above may be relatively trivial on their own but they are often the start or trigger to a full-blown quarrel. It only takes a spark to get the fire going. Give an argument life and soon both of you will stomp off in anger.

So, do you or do you not? Do you snap at others' little slips? Do you try to put aside the negative emotions instead? What say you?
