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?

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

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 🤔

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.

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.

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?

MakeMineATwin2 · 30/09/2018 15:26

Thigh that had me in stitches!

theendofeverything · 30/09/2018 15:28

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

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.

Thighofrelief · 30/09/2018 15:51

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

MellowMelly · 30/09/2018 15:55

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’.

The argument between a ship and a lighthouse.

myusernameisnotmyusername · 30/09/2018 16:09

When we were in our mid 20's, DP and I lived in a terraced house with really thin walls. Every Friday night the really young couple living next door would have really loud music on till about 10pm then go out. They'd then come back about 3-4am and turn on the loud music again or karaoke. Once DP banged on the wall- this was about 3am- and the girl said 'what?!!!' He said 'keep it down' she said 'why?' Incredulous he replied because it's 3 in the f-ing morning!' I swear I heard her huff through the wall! Another time her and her boyfriend were having a blazing row through the wall and I just heard her shout- 'because I was raped!' That was quite disturbing.

My friend delivers chinese food as a weekend job, and every
Saturday night, she goes to a regular customers house (which
is a young couple, about early 20's.

Every time she gets there and rings the doorbell, an argument
starts on the other side of the door, which slighly varies from week to week, but goes along the lines of this:

(I will refer to them as person A and person B)

A. Foods here!
B. Well answer the door then!
A. I've just got in, you fucking answer it!
B. Well, ive been at work all day as well, so you get it!
A. My moneys upstairs!
B. Well, im not paying for it, you fucking ordered it, you go!
A. For fuck sake. I'll go without then, im not moving
B. Youre' such a prick!
A. Shove the food up your arse then
B. hope you fucking choke on it!

(Meanwhile, friend rings bell again!)

B. comes to door, big smile (as though nothing has happened)
and says '. Hiya, hows it going? sorry about the wait, was just
sorting the money out - how much is it again??

My friend always anticipates wether it will be A or B who gives
in first and answers the door. (cos it varies week on week).
But makes her chuckle every time.

Thighofrelief · 30/09/2018 18:32

I just have to get this out there, a confession.

When I was at fresher's week 14,000 years ago i used the following pick up line "has anyone ever told you that you have eyes like Paul McCartney" to a bloke who i then shagged and went out with for a couple of years. I'm just wondering if he's walking around ranting about that to his wife now. Tbf i was 18 and pissed.

Glowerglass · 30/09/2018 18:44

My friend has always said that she doesn't like guacamole. But just recently she has started eating it. Her husband is FURIOUS.

At the age of about 9 I had a huge blazing row with my dad and step mum during the game “Tell me quiz”. The question was “name something you can do that an animal can’t” and the spinner landed on “m” and I shouted mingle. A long argument commenced with me standing by my word saying that animals do not consciously mingle and therefore saying they mingle is incorrect. I can remember screaming that animals do not stand around “mingling” at parties and because I know I’m mingling, I can do it. An animal can’t. All to my dad pissing himself laughing with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks. I can’t remember how it ended but I am still very bitter and stand by my point today.

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 30/09/2018 18:45

Actually I think I may have been 11, not sure I’d have known the word mingle at 9.

Either way. I was right then and am now 20 years later.

My mum and stepdad have the best arguments. They're hilarious.

There was the time my SD had cooked a pheasant (given to us by the local hunt - we don't have pheasant for every evening meal. We're not posh) but he hadn't hung it properly.

Cue my mum coming out of the bedroom, dry heaving all over the place because of the smell of rotting pheasant, trying to ask what the fuck SD was cooking.

Or the rather memorable picture-hook-gate. Instead of using proper picture hooks, my SD decided to use those plastic hooks with double sided tape... you know, the one you use for tea towels and nothing else because they can't handle any more weight than that?

What followed was about 2 weeks of pictures falling down. Every now and again you'd hear the 'BOOM' of these pictures falling off the wall. My mum lost her shit and ended up cutting up their wedding photo and putting it in the bin!!! Shock
My SD was quietly despondent about that.

The logic though?

WannabeMumm · 30/09/2018 19:05

Loved reading all of these!

The biggest argument my husband and I have had was about leeks...It was the early days of our relationship and I'd invited him over for dinner. I sliced the leeks into rounds and he said I should've cut them diagonally... This lead to a full blown argument and went on for months. I don't think I've cooked anything will leeks in since...

bitchwitch · 30/09/2018 19:12

watching others can be so entertaining.

me across the road on my porch, listening to both sides in real time.i started laughing so hard 45 minutes into it.my husband came out to see if i was ok.

bitchwitch · 30/09/2018 19:21

only time i ever lost it.don't remember the cause,but ended up throwing glass ashtrays and some waterford crystal to bits.
boyfriend went out and bought those cheap metal ashtrays and set them on the tables.never said a word.

Footymum81 · 30/09/2018 19:22

A friend's dad (sadly no longer with us) insisted that the then Essex and England cricket captain was Saddam Hussein! He shouted over everyone trying to tell him that they knew he meant Nasser Hussein and had just got mixed up "I know my bloody cricket!" Eventually we all had to agree with him just to get some peace!

BeefTomato · 30/09/2018 19:24

Me and my DH once had a terrible argument about whether Oscar Pistorious's prosthetic leg gave him and unfair advantage in running. It went on for months, every time we remembered it started again!
