Screaming and shouting and swearing.

Something about "your not even fucking signed into google"

Walls are really thin.

What's the strangest fight you've heard?

The argument between a ship and a lighthouse.

My neighbours had a blazing row because he was hoovering and she wanted to drink her cup of tea peacefully so she threw her tea on the floor and told him to ‘fucking Hoover that up then you prick’.

"Mum, has Dad gone insane?" "hmm? oh no dear, he's absolutely fine. Dinner's ready".

Thighofrelief · 30/09/2018 15:48

It's like they were possessed, equally, for exactly 5 minutes. They each cleared their own mess and were quite matter of fact about needing to redecorate, get the glazer in and buy a new coffee table. Fairly cheery even. Never, ever mentioned it.

I have this mental image of Thighofreliefs parents sheepishly going round the house, clearing up the aftermath.

Thigh that had me in stitches!

I heard a big 'debate' in a restaurant about how dinosaurs came to an end. He insisted it was the ice age and she insisted it was the meteor which caused both the extinction of dinosaurs and the ice age. They both looked pretty pissed off by the end of the meal.
I doubt the relationship had legs.

theendofeverything · 30/09/2018 15:24

Thighofrelief that is brilliant - maybe they vented every bit of suppressed irritation with each other in that one row, and once finished could go back to their usual selves?

Thighofrelief · 30/09/2018 15:17

My parents have had one truly insane argument in 60 years together. It was over Dad not shutting a door properly even though Mum had asked him to. She slammed the door repeatedly until the glass fell out. He then threw a bottle of ketchup at her but she ducked and it went everywhere. Then mum rammed the coffee table into the fireplace whilst trying to smash it with her foot. Dad then went upstairs and heaved the huge towel hamper over the upper landing banister and down the stairs.

This all happened in the space of 5 minutes and then stopped and they went completely back to normal and never said a word about it.

My mum and dad had a wild argument a few weeks ago. Rummaging through all the paperwork, calling friends to help with the timeline. All about what year their beloved dog had a big operation 😂

I've barely heard them say a cross word to each other before! They're almost 60 and been together forever! Was brilliant.

These are comedy gold! I love the Bentley one...we have had similar!

When i was at Uni. one of my mates' girlfriend came down to visit. They had a blazing row so the girlfriend took her stuff & stormed downstairs. My mate hadn't noticed her pack her stuff up & proceeded to chuck everything she could find out the window. Was her own stuff she was chucking. And it was pissing it down. She then started shouting that the gf had tricked her into doing it because she was some sort of vodoo queen 🤔

BearSoFair · 30/09/2018 14:12

Once squeezed past two guys outside a busy tube station, one pointing his finger and shouting at the other "I am telling you as a FACT that Chris Lowe is better!" Unless there's another Chris Lowe I don't know of, I assume they were arguing over the Pet Shop Boys! Grin

U2HasTheEdge Someone once proved that sheep can recognise each other and even some humans abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=98209&page=1 I'm with your DH Grin

I hope someone overheard my argument with a neighbour the other day because it would have given them a laugh if nothing else. He had - for the second time - chopped into my hedge over on my side of the property well beyond my wall. He scurried off when he saw me watching.

When I went round, he said that he was bald and my dh was bald. I asked him what the hell he was on about and he said "Well, it grows back". So there you are, go onto your ndn's land, chop back their plants and tell them its okay, cos someone is bald.

youlooklikeaclown · 30/09/2018 12:00

With DH and self, it is over who is the best James Bond - DH insisting Roger 'eyebrows' Moore. I insist that it is Sean Connery. I dealt the killer blow....'Sean Connery has won an Academy Award and at least three BAFTA's' Does Roger want to borrow some awards for his mantlepiece? Mwhahaha

Love this

Flooffloof · 30/09/2018 11:11

Ah thanks Alpaca, just tried the theory, don't think it works. Buuuut I am slightly hungover and may try later.
Also I don't think it looks cool, just odd. Would prefer two green eyes.

Sallystyle · 30/09/2018 10:39

Boule. Well shit!

I'm not telling him!

HSMMaCM · 30/09/2018 10:23

when DM was dying, she said "I still haven't forgiven you for xebec". This was a Scrabble game from 20 years previously.

When you carry an argument to your death bed, it must be serious Shock

My sister and I now play scrabble online, so we can't argue about words any more.

AlpacaPicnic · 30/09/2018 10:11

Floof according to the very scientific totally made up superpower of coloursight you could see all shades of brown and green very well but if you closed one eye, the other colour would pop for you.

I have a friend with heterochromia who has one eye that's one colour and his other eye is split into two different colours. It's been ages since I've seen him so I can't remember which way round but for argument sake it's one green eye and one eye is half brown half blue. He looks so cool!

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/09/2018 10:01

nicenewdusters sorry to disappoint you but my dh is not a right bastard and he’s definitely not your ex, we met when we were 18. Grin

borntobequiet · 30/09/2018 09:54

Ginger thanks for the thread.

GingerFrogs · 30/09/2018 09:25

Not been.on here and just come back to see how many fights have been reported. I'm about to make a cuppa and read them all Grin

I do think there's a degree of adaptation to eye perception. The old jungle vs plains theory on sight. Sure I heard last week that societies exposed to one colour more see it better.

AuroraN · 30/09/2018 08:31

Theend - that makes no sense to me either. Isn’t that a contradiction?
