My brother's former mother-in-law is that way. She is one of those people who feels like hers is the only correct way and if you don't agree you are wrong. Even if you point out 100 ways how she is incorrect about something she will just scream until people finally give in and do what she wants. She hates me because I never just shut up and let her win.

My favorite moment involving her was one year at Thanksgiving we all finish eating and some people are in one room watching football and others go into another room to watch a movie. We start flipping through the channels and we happen across the movie Seven. Someone jokes about it being a happy holiday movie. She says it is disgusting and should be banned. We tell her we were joking about watching it and switch the channel. She continues to go off about how movies like that should be banned. I point out that just because she doesn't like it doesn't mean it should be banned. She loves riding horses, I think that is a waste of time and money, but I don't think it should be banned. We debate this for a few minutes and then she said, "Well, if it were up to me, there would be no movies like this!" I said, "Well, I'm glad that is why we normally don't let crazy people be in charge." Even her husband laughed. She stomped out of the room and spent the next hour in the next room explaining to them why movies like Seven should be banned. This was several years ago. She will still occasionally comment on it. The last time I saw her was last year at Christmas when my brother had a bunch of people over and she was there to see his kids. She said something like, "Watch any movies that should be banned lately?"
