VladmirsPoutine · 27/02/2018 21:43

I have had an argument about a phone charger.

Neatly split up with my BF (now DH) once. It was over how much we owed each other (about 60p).

I think Vladmir is trying to start a new most ridiculous argument Grin

VladmirsPoutine · 27/02/2018 21:54

@MyKingdomForBrie Grin, in my utter outrage about another thread I forgot to check which thread I was on!

My Ex stopped talking to me for a week after an argument about a carrier bag, and another time because I had the temerity to ask him what he wanted to do for his (40th) birthday.

Houses and fancy prams in Japan!? I'm intrigued.

Mine was about mushrooms and the correct way to prepare them for cooking. Became a bag packing, flouncing, shouting, door slamming on the way out moment!

My DH hung the washing out - but didn't do it to my exacting standards. This meant my favourite pair of pj bottoms weren't dry enough to pack to take on holiday.
I had the biggest hissy fit! I cried, yelled, said I wasn't going and I think I actually threw my wedding ring at him! ShockBlushBlush.
We had an amazing holiday, without the pj's. I've since learnt to chill the fuck out and amazingly he remains married to me. Bless him.

I was hungover several years ago and DH helped himself to 3 of my spring rolls when the takeaway arrived. I nearly ended him. I screamed, "THEY'RE MY SPRING ROLLS!!!"

Laughed about it ever since Grin

Littlechocola · 27/02/2018 22:03

Over a hoover. His favourite was rubbish.

HippyChickMama · 27/02/2018 22:04

Dh and I once had an argument because he said that if we won the lottery we couldn't have an indoor pool in the new house we would buy. We don't even do the lottery.

My XH once told me that pigs couldn't swim, and when I disagreed with him it developed into a huge argument. Two days later, some pigs escaped from an abattoir and swum across a river and got away. It made the national news and when I said "See, pigs CAN swim" he got really arsey with me and we had another row.

On another occasion, we were out with some friends and my friend and I were discussing how sad it was that ovarian cancer is often quite advanced by the time it's diagnosed. He wanted to know why, and my friend explained that the symptoms were similar to other things, like IBS. He'd been diagnosed with IBS and started to wonder if he might actually have ovarian cancer. Confused

I said I thought it was highly unlikely and he started having a go at me saying I thought I knew everything and I was just a fucking smartarse. He ranted on until my friend explained precisely how we knew he didn't have ovarian cancer. Then when we got home he had a go at me for "showing him up".

He was a complete cretin and I still wonder how the fuck I ended up married to him.

Barbadosgirl · 27/02/2018 22:05

teaiseverything and you stayed with him? That would have been LTB territory for me!

TicketyBoo83 · 27/02/2018 22:07

Was having the day from hell at work, feeling awful and everything going wrong. Consoled myself with the thought of a nice warm cuppa and the wispa in the fridge that I’d bought a few days previous.

Got home, husband had eaten it. Went fucking mental, cried and didn’t speak to him for 2 days. Even when he bought me a replacement wispa 😂

VladmirsPoutine · 27/02/2018 22:07

@LakieLady Sorry but Grin Grin

Userplusnumbers · 27/02/2018 22:07

@LakieLady I'm crying laughing at the post argument 'Pigs CAN swim'

Mine was some pans not stacked in height order. Nearly ended in divorce

ProfessorSprout · 27/02/2018 22:09

DH not splitting chippy chips fairly

He was an arse

I was a child

Resulted in him sulking and saying he didn’t want them anymore

I said “fine”

Threw his entire fish and chips in the bin 😱 and happily ate mine in front of him 😂

Elmosmum · 27/02/2018 22:11

@TicketyBoo83 oh I feel your pain - I'd go the same especially over much wanted chocolate!!

MelvinThePenguin · 27/02/2018 22:13

Where my dressing table was going to go in our new bedroom.

I gave in and told DP (now DH) we’d try it his way. He responded by storming out and staying with his friend that night. Bizarre and thank goodness, never repeated!

The dressing table ended up where I wanted it, as his suggestion was plainly ridiculous.

HerrenaHarridan · 27/02/2018 22:14

I recently had an argument that I think may have ended a friendship I value very highly.

It was essentially a philosophical debate about the definition of a fact vs an opinion

IJustLostIt · 27/02/2018 22:15

I had an argument with my friend about whether chickens mate to produce eggs with chicks HmmGrin

The same friend also didn't know who won WW2.

MyKingdomForBrie · 27/02/2018 22:15

@VladmirsPoutine I haven’t even seen that thread, how have I missed it?!

DH and I argued about who had the worst cough earlier. I actually accused him of coughing ‘like a drama queen’.

LakieLady · 27/02/2018 22:15

Vlad & user: If only I could remember every stupid, idiotic thing he ever did, I'd probably have the makings of half decent comic novel. I should start writing them down.

Like the time he thought we had a water leak, and I'd refused to get leak insurance because it was a rip-off. Turned out that the "leak" was because he'd left the hose connected to the outside tap, but not quite turned the tap off. That was somehow my fault, but I can't recall how now.

I'd actually asked him if he was sure he'd turned it off, and he got really arsey about being asked: "I suppose you think I'm too fucking thick to turn a fucking tap off" etc etc. Well, now you mention it...

Daily with my teenage children, they can argue about anything! Grin
