That's not age related, more gender.

My wife is the same way,

"can you help me? this is not working"

What's not working?

"this!"

What's this?

"just come here"

OK

"I'm trying to do ......"

That's not the way to do that, try this .....

"I don't want to do it that way, I want to do it this way"

But that won't work, you have to do it like this .......

"why"

Cause that's how it's done

"well I don't like that"

Well do you want it done?

"yes"

Then do it this way ....

"that's stupid"

No stupider than doing it the wrong way 100 times in a row and expecting it to magically work the 101st time.

"**** off"

Yes dear
