I guess the question is who needs to accept them: your wife or workmate.
My wife complains more than my workmate.
And it's even a mathematical formula.
The first she complains, she waits one week to complain again, then 1/2 a week, then a quarter of a week.
I give up when it becomes twice a day.
I used to be able to solve the math problem myself, but now I would need to look it up on the Internet.
