The closest I come to getting that icy stare is when I am single-mindedly working a project to the exclusion of everything else, knowing that I can get it finished just the way I want in only 25% more time than I have available. In those circumstances my wife will, out of the blue, complain that I am being obsessive.

Dames!?! ;\)
