omg...where to put his eggs?? Did he tell HER where to put them...sheesh!

OCD
Being bossy sometimes gets the results you want to happen. Some woman the other day had to tell db where to put his eggs in the cart. The next day some other woman was on me for leaving my dog momentarily in the car. It 's a supreme arrogance and borders on personality disorder. Those people exerting it tend to be drawn to public life. But people in the private sector do it as well. They must have their ideal view of the world-sometimes at any cost.
Then there are others with a God complex who thrive on power. In a confrontation they will win with their power play which they get off on. I put many law enforcement officiers in this category. No one chooses to be a state trooper without
somewhat being attracted to that aspect. Some are plain anti -human. They believe that man is not good but prone to evil, and so Man must be chained for his own good. Those are the worst. Shudder

To feel powerful. I think it stems from feeling powerless in their own lives at some point and some how it gets skewed into having power over others instead of focusing on having power within themselves and harnessing that and accomplishing things in their own lives for themselves. At some point they learn people can be manipulated through a variety of means...and they like doing it and they get addicted to that feeling of controlling others...by any means necessary....they don't care that it's evil to use force or manipulation, they are convinced they know best, their wants, needs and desires come first and others must comply. And there's only one way to stop them. If you compare Ted Bundy and Hitler...those are the underpinnings. EVIL.
