When I’m looking for something she tries to help by asking me where it is. I try to remain calm when I’d like to throttle her.

“I’m looking for my 2’ level.”
“Is it on your work bench?”
(Pause while biting my tongue)
“Sweetheart, if I knew it was there I wouldn’t be looking for it, I would just go get it.”
I wouldn't take her comment literally, she's trying to help. Now if she said did you accidentally kick it under the AC condenser when you were leveling it, I'd give that some thought.

The switch plate screw thing is wrong, all you end up with is every screw is either too tight or too loose.
I had to explain that about short, small wood screws used on cabinet hinges. "Don't even ask me to clock them."
