MAWS (Middle-Aged Woman Syndrome) is a disease that many females tends to inexplicably contract upon reaching their 30's or 40's.
Symptoms inlcude:
-irritability
-irrationality
-bossiness
-complaining
-being self-absorbed
-negative attention-seeking
-making a scene in public places

Women with MAWS tend to make up the vast majority of people who make complaints or demands in stores, restaurants, or other customer service locations.

Women with MAWS seem to live in their own reality; they think their behaviour is normal and their actions justified.
Women may outgrow MAWS in their later years, rationalizing in ways deemed comprehensible or even socially acceptable.
Jim: Isn't it a nice day today Martha?

Martha: It'll be nicer once I rudely complain to customer service for a good half hour about my broken appliance, two hours if I'm asked to calm down. They can't tell me what to do - I'm on the ball. You know what "they" say, unless you've walked a mile in my shoes, don't talk to me...(etc)

Sarah: Try to ignore her Jim, she has MAWS.
