I'm afraid I do that sometimes, too
One of my degrees is in history, and if we see a movie that purports to be based on history, they'd better fucking get the details right or I'M POINTING IT OUT TO EVERYBODY!!
It's a bad habit, I know. And I realize that war movies can't always afford to use accurate mockups of authentic equipment, but forgodsakes don't try to pass off a 60s-era M60 tank as a fucking WW2 Panzer. Don't try to convince me that Custer was the last soldier heroically standing on the hill at the end of that battle! You'll only piss me off!
Then my husband quietly points out that "honey, nobody gives a fuck, hush up".
