My wife has an annoying habit of correcting me when I speak to people on the phone. I usually tune her out, but one instance was particularly annoying.
Someone called me and used the standard greeting , "How's it going ?"
I answered with my standard response of "Pretty well" and went on with the rest of the conversation.
My wife immediately piped up, "You're not doing pretty well! You're allergies are terrible! You've been stopped up and sniffling for days!"
After the call, I had to gently instruct her that we were using polite greetings, and no one really cares about the state of my sinuses.
