What is the oddest argument you have ever overheard...

[HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone]

My neighbours have been arguing VERY loudly for the past 20 minutes. It's a very cross angry shouting back and forward slamming doors type argument. The source of this row is that he is using the spring tea towels not the winter ones. .

I genuinely didn't know firstly that seasonal tea towels were a thing and secondly that it could cause such a lot of fuss!

Please tell me, the neighbours I considered normal, are not having the oddest argument in the history of the world and that you have heard stranger quarrels than this!

Many moons ago Dh and FIL once got into a 2 hour full blown argument over who had broader shoulders. Each were insisting the others were bigger. I was expecting fists to go flying in the end when Dh refused FIL's demands to messure them to settle it once and for all. It made for great dinner theater.

For the record their shoulders are pretty much the same size.

Tuesday is yellow

In a professional capacity I once had a couple coming to me considering divorce because they argued too much. One persons main gripe was that their partner put on their fit flops ‘incorrectly’ despite the superior partners ceaseless, patient advice on the ‘correct’ to don and remove fit flops. A side argument was the way the partner arranged sandwiches in a Tupperware box. Not surprisingly the partner didn’t say much at all. I think they were worn down after years of marriage to such an overbearing person.

Sunday's pink, Monday's dark blue, Tuesday's white with blue tinges, Wednesday's racing green, Thursday's grey, Friday's bright yellow, Saturday is black.

Cat mats should be landscape, against the wall for the following reasons.
a)They fit better under an overhang ie: breakfast bar or worktop.
b)If there is a door that needs to open it will reduce the amount of cat that is in the way as they tend to eat from the 'wrong' side of the bowl and inevitably get their body on the side where they take up the most space.
c) In portrait mode the cat will lick all the chunks from one side and push the remainder out of the bowl and on to the floor next to the mat by eating from the narrow side of the mat rather than the wide one.

And (d) some clumsy people DP will trip over the cat mats when they're portrait 🐱

Monday is pale yellow. Tuesday is mauve. Wednesday is very orange. Thursday is bottle green. Friday is sky blue. Saturday is crimson. Sunday is sunshine yellow.

I know that couples arguing in Ikea is a bit cliched, but just been there now and was minding my own business looking at the toys for nieces and nephews when I became aware of a couple bickering at the side of me:

Oh, so we're doing wooden toys are we? he asks in a snidey tone.

Yes, because what child doesn't love a train set, she replies.

Cue further back and forth about how nice, sustainable and good value the toys are from her contradicted about how worthy and dull they are from him while I studiously check the recommended ages of the toys I was looking at. He then storms off with her running after him shouting 'so we're not getting the train set then?'

I had a huge row with DH because I had an episode of sleep paralysis when pregnant, it was terrifying. Anyhow, he was awake, and obviously (except to pregnant me) he hadn't a clue what had happened and I went batshit because he didn't try to help me.

My argument was that I had my eyes open and could see the room, so why didn't he help me when I was laying there wide eyed and not moving. He insisted I looked asleep and my eyes were shut, needless to say, I did not believe him.

DH and I were camping in Cornwall about 9 years ago - never again. We came back from the pub, walked along the beach and as we got back to our tent about 1 in the morning, we could hear the couple in the tent next door arguing over a beetle- we had no idea at first what it was about, could just see a torch and two lumpy shapes moving around a small tent. There was lots of
'There is it'
'I can't see it
'It's huge'
'Where?'
' There, it went under your things.'
'Well it's gone now'
'It hasn't fucking gone , d'you think it has evaporated or something? It is here somewhere and I can't stay in here with it'
'It's just a beetle for fucks sake'
'It's not just a beetle, it was some kind of huge black scorpion, I'm telling you. Let me out. Get out of my way. I am not staying in a tiny sodding tent with a fucking scorpion rampaging around. You areso dismmissive of my fear of insects. Ihateyou.'

DH and I were hysterical giggling.
The tent flap opened and out clambered two men, looking angrywith each other. DH ended up helping them empty this small tent,shakeout sleeping bags and clothes and used our torch tohelp sera h forthe scorpion. It was a devil's coachman beetle - like an earwig with a shakey tail so I can see what he meant by scorpion but it was tiny.
One of the men slept in their car for the next 3 nights.

DH and I had a weird almost arguement once in the supermarket. We were buying tins of beans with the little sausages in and we both agreed that the only way to eat them was beans and sos in a bowl with bread and butter on the side for dipping.

However early on in the conversation we both thought that the other put the bread and butter in the bowl first and put the beans and sausages on top like some freaky bread pudding.

It took a while to unravel and must have been funny to listen to as there were lots of aghast 'I can't believe I'm with someone who eats beans like that' type comments from the both of us.

@shalll we have a bath time rota.

its insane but has reduced the arguments and disputes mostly due to my mind being melted by trying to remember who was in first bath the night before and failing.

its taped to the wall and is gospel. visitors who use the bathroom must think we are mad

Raaraa that's brilliant. I will actually do it! Glad we're not the only ones!!

I am very late to this party and have only read a few posts, but honestly, Tuesday is BLUE.

Seven days in a week and seven colours in a rainbow - surely no coincidence?

January is navy blue.

Getting on for 30 years ago, walking behind 2 elderly ladies, who were well know around the village, sisters, both widowed, they lived together. It was summer and bright sunshine, I was on my way to college. They were arguing about whether it was 9 am or If they’d overslept and it was 9pm!
