Not anymore. But when I worked for a cousin to the Quean of England I sure was. She was crazy but because she had money we had to think of of her as acentric. I was first hired temporarily as a grounds keeper. But one day well I was cutting the lawn she sent the cook out to warn me not to run over the pixies. But the cook messed up and told me to be careful to not run over the fairy's. I jokingly said - well I haven't seen any fairy's but there were a couple of pixies over by that log and I am being carful to run run them over. Turned out the cook had to go back and tell the lady exactly what I said and when she said I hadn't seen any fairy's but I did see a couple of pixie's and I was being careful the lady said - of course he did - he is the kind of man that knows the difference between a fairy and a pixie - I was hired full time shortly after that. Cheers and happy weekend!
In the slang of psychology, the colloquial term control freak describes a person with a personality disorder characterized by undermining other people, usually by way of controlling behavior manifested in the ways that they act to dictate the order of things in a social situation. The term control freak was first used in the 1970s, a decade when the cultural Zeitgeist featured liberal social norms, which espoused the live-and-let-live principle of "Do your own thing" in opposition to the perceived requirement of social conformity within traditional conservatism
