It's unclear how chill they were at the time. You seemed to read something as very chill. It's a lot easier to be chill once the financial impact is blunted by insurance, restitution and tools. And it also helps that time has passed, so now it's a funny story.

OP’s wife praises them for their attitude. That’s a very strong indicator.

OP's wife praised them for taking care of the issue with a level head. That's very different from being chill. Not anti-chill, but a different dimension. In fact, it's probably a better trait!

Are you really being pedantic with slang?

It's possible you are using the word "chill" in a way that is unrecognizable to me. And, from context, how other people responding to you interpreted your usage. I don't think so, but then again I may have have no idea what you meant.

Anyway, if you want to explain what you meant, great.

You cannot stop being pedantic, can you? Chill is slang and has no set meaning.

You have disagreed with absolutely everyone for no reason!
