This is twice now in the past week that I've got into a scrap with a female about an event, which she apparently saw completely differently than I did. I'm just wondering if it's one of those female things I've got to learn to live with, or perhaps I'm losing my goddamn mind.

Do females have a tendency to let emotions muddle their recollection of events?

In my experience, most women seem to base things on emotion, most men on logic.
Not that I'm saying one is better than the other, each is the superior choice in different situations. I'm sure it leads to as much frustration from the female pov as I know it does from the male.

I just like saying women are more emotional then men, and men are more logical then women.
Seems to make both sides happy.

I work with around 40 women. It's a total fucking henhouse.
There's always some kind of shit stirred up there. Not long ago, the boss (a woman), proclaimed that sandals and capri's were against the dress code. Let me tell you, it was on after that.
The disaffected parties, my colleagues, called HR, who allegedly told them that they could wear capris and sandals. Mind you, they didn't get it in writing. Thereafter, they wrote a memo to the boss informing her that she had no right to determine the dress code.
Throughout this estrogen-driven greek trajedy, I heard mumblings aplenty in the hallway like, "she can't tell me what to wear"; or "she's such an old bitch"; or "she's just doing this to get back at us" so on and so forth.
Here's the rub, if they had bothered to read their employee hand book, or have managed to stay awake during their orientation they would've known that the district manager CAN set the fucking dress code.
I'll just sum it by saying it was a total goat screw; and it could've been utterly avoided had the concerned parties met with the boss privately and hashed it out. But no, I work with a bunch of fucking drama queens.
This is just one example. It's like there's some ongoing war that never ends. To beat all, it's always over petty stuff that has nothing what-so-fucking-ever with the mission at hand. The ironic thing is that half of there will volunteer the idea that it would be a better work environment if more men worked there.
So to sum up, yes, I do think that emotions ARE women's reality. Generally speaking of course.
Jesus, it's so fucked up that I even know what capri's are. :lol

The people that I work with are more mature than most ladies that some people seem to have the misfortune of dealing with. Female clients that come in on the other hand are an entirely different story.
I'd say that more women do this than men, but only because women are the party most likely to gain from it in most given situations. This may also be a consequence of where I work and the types of people that I come into contact with as a result, though.
I think that too many people let their emotions get the better of them... not only in the retelling of stores, but in most situations in life. I've seen people make the most irrational decisions possible because of emotions; most of which were extremely vindictive in nature. Again, tha goes for men as much as women.

Oh yes, it's damn true.
My girlfriend is a couple hundred miles away, so we have to call a lot and write letters.
She had an emotional breakdown in January and we discussed some things. We got through it fine, but I was shocked when she said I only called twice my freshman year of college. I called much more than that. My phone bills (And the amount of times I had to dial 10-10-220-1-___-___-____ is far more than 2. (It worked to Canada, so I used that.)
