I've said Good Morning to people in the afternoon on purpose just to be funny. Also, when I get on the phone or see someone I haven't seen in a really long time, I always say, "Hey, haven't seen you in a couple of days! How are things?" If my bf corrected me when I was deliberately trying just to be funny, it would totally annoy me. At that point I would realize that he doesn't get me or my sense of humor and I'd have to reevaluate where this relationship was going. I'd rather be with someone who understands that I like to be silly and don't need him being a debbie downer with his grammar nazism.
This is ironic, because he was trying to make a joke and she was the one who didn't get it.
Or maybe she just woke up and didn't want to be scolded.
I mean the bottom line is that this particular situation is a non entity until or unless it happens all the time in which case then it's time to address the obvious communication problem between the 2 of them.

He didn't scold her and I'm assuming that he didn't know she had just woken up until she told him. If someone texted me "Good morning" at 2:30 in the afternoon, I probably would've made a joke about it too. The OP did nothing wrong.

Seriously? Scolded?
This is what I mean about taking benign crap and elevating it to epic proportions.
I agree with you that there are communication problems between the two of them, but it is hard to communicate or even want to communicate when you can predict that the slightest comment will send someone off the reservation.

It seems she was the one making a joke (aware it was afternoon) and HE was the one who didn't get it, becoming serious.

I will say again, I don't think she was being "high strung", it seems that she gently upon arising greeted him - then became put off as he remarked back with the obvious.
I am seeing how each of us reflects one side or the other, but we don't know either of them, what the tone was or what may have actually been said. Maybe he is always exacting or technical in his manner which could get old. As I said, another may not have reacted that way.. yet another female may have let that go too.. just asking how his day is going, etc.
It's funny how some seemingly slight difference in personality can and does affect things. For instance, I am pretty easygoing and prefer that others are also, which allows for interactions to flow easily, rather than creating resentment, by one always correcting or differing with the other.
Interesting how many are jumping on the guy for a seemingly innocuous response.
We don't know the exact context of the situation. How long have they been dating, and what is their relationship like.
Anyways, a little joke doesn't seem like something to get all bent out of shape for. If I were dating someone that couldn't take a simple joke, might be better off looking elsewhere. Do you really want to spend any more time with someone that seems to have a chip on their shoulder?
No kidding. I've done what the OP has done before too and most don't care or just follow back with "punk" LOL. They correct me when I make mistakes too. At the least it's friendly banter. At worst you really are annoying her. Text is also a good way to nitpick like the OP did, and she nitpicked too. Oh dear...
