My girlfriend prides herself on having "high expectations". We spend a great deal of time together and she often says things that seem to just be said in passing, that she later follows up on and then gets angry that I haven't done. For example, she mentioned that maybe we should do something for my father's birthday. Then a week later gets mad because I haven't called him to see what he wants to do because I've been busy with work and keeping up with her Honey Do list.

Or in general, she has alot of things that she asks of me, and I try very, very hard to keep up with them. But it happens sometimes that I forget something, and she gets so angry at me. Like today, I fixed our sprinklers, took out the trash, got our internet service provider to finally fix a $450 mistake (which took 2 hours on the phone), and worked a 9 hour shift at work. But because I forgot to fill up one of the dog's water bowl, she's pissed at me and its like it was all for nothing, which makes me feel very unappreciated.

I try really hard to achieve all the things she expects, and I achieve 99% of them, so I really don't feel she's justified in getting so angry. She tells me "you're not stupid, so you must just not care!". Sometimes it really wears on me, but other times we go long periods without any issue.
