I find Elaine's adamant hostility towards people who refer to her by her husband's name to be very interesting. Technically of course Miller is not her name, but to call her 'Mrs. Miller' hardly seems like the sort of thing that would provoke more than, at most, a simple, cheerful correction. Why does this perfectly harmless social convention make her so angry?

This is perhaps the most legit of her many, many beefs.

except that it's an example of someone making sure the world bends to her will, not the other way around. conventions like that don't change in a generation.
meh, gripes and pet peeves are irrational mostly
