A) Any exasperated assertion of a loved one's weakness: "Why doesn't he ever turn off the lights?!"
B) Justification of assertion with damning evidence: "He's 'Mr. Sustainability' and he leaves lights on in every room in the house!"
C) Smug assertion of superior moral position. "But I will turn them off and then let it go."
D) Justification of moral superiority with a superior act. "I will accept him for who he is."
E) Inevitable conclusion. "I am better than he is."
There's a technological solution for most marital problems. To wit: Low-energy motion sensing light bulbs.
