DH has been cross with me for weeks after I told a very pretentious friend of mine that he watched "Love Island" apparently he has never watched it, it was TOWIE and I got muddled.

We once had an awful argument about the correct way to apply sun cream to 1yo DS. We were at a family BBQ and we were embarrassing.

Not with a spouse but my adult son. We were watching Richard Osman's House of Games (we are both very competitive) and we occasionally used to flippantly say to each other "I have to take your first answer". Once it blew up into a massive mutual strop and we didn't watch it together for another year.
We get on perfectly well when not quizzing!

We argued for hours one night in bed because I had decided never to eat pig products again and told him and also explained my reasons.

He said they were daft reasons considering I would still be eating cows and chickens.

I pointed out that he had never, and would never, see me eat lamb or veal as they were a sheep or a cow's children.

He then said that it was funny how I would eat the calf's mother and a hen's child.

It got to the heated stage where I asked him how he would feel if I slaughtered and ate our family dog as George Clooney had a pet pig that he loved as much as we loved our dog.

So he asked if I was threatening to murder our dog and then serve him up as a Sunday Roast to prove a point.

By that point we were helpless with laughter.

Two crème eggs went missing from
the fridge. We should have had one each but someone ate both. It wasn’t me. He was adamant it wasn’t him. Our daughter doesn’t like them so it wasn’t her. This was last year. Still no idea what happened to those eggs but he still brings it up from time, it’s become a bit of a joke where he’ll say ‘remember when you ate both the crème eggs?’ It wasn’t me!

Our biggest argument ever in a 25 year relationship was about how we spend a completely hypothetical lottery win.

Hahahaha!

We've had similar... I felt he was far too eager to give away swathes of cash we didn't yet have.

At a training course last week I learnt we only use one nostril at a time to breath in with.
I am 53

Do we?! I'm now sat here alternating which nostril I cover trying to figure it out!

About the colour of the window sills on one of the famous coloured houses in Tobermory (aka Balamory).

Because i did not wake him up…he is a grown man with an alarm clock on his phone FFS! I am not in charge of his schedule!

Whether a motorcyclist’s jacket was fluorescent yellow or fluorescent green (it was yellow…). We were driving and playing spotto, the motorcyclist was heading in the opposite direction so we only saw him briefly. We continued to argue about it for a couple of hours and then on and off for weeks.

Yes I think he’d be an awful King.

And so do I.
