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?

I once saw two big muscly fierce looking men yelling at each other in Russian or Polish or something on my street. They both looked really angry. I crossed the road to get past them safely and I heard one of them break into English and shout at the other in a thick accent “so that’s three glasses of flour and one egg, ok thanks, bye”.

I love living vicariously through other people's arguments as we don't argue. Well, I try to argue, DP doesn't countenance it, it ends up with me just huffing off and then feeling bad. He has never raised his voice once in six years. Bastard.

I remember there was a huge barny just after midnight on NYE a couple of years ago when we lived in our old house. We turned the lights off and stood on the doorstep in the dark so we could hear better. It went on for about 30 mins. I think the gist of it was that the bloke had been flirting with another woman at a party, but then became a diatribe about every twist and turn in their relationship. Eventually he got bored and went inside and she roamed the streets sobbing. I was worried about her being out there on her own in that kind of state, but couldn't find her myself on foot, so I called 111 and about 15 mins later a police car cruised along and presumably picked her up to take her back home!

101* sorry. NHS 24 wouldn't have been interested!

Two early 20ish lads walking past me in the town centre, raised voices, wildly gesticulating hands, angry expressions..."It WAS because that's the one where Shaggy and Scooby found out that...." Grin

cloudyweewee · 28/09/2018 20:51

Or even Grin

DialsMavis · 28/09/2018 20:54

"of course I've had that burning pissing thing, been with you 20 years haven't I" he sounded so miffed she was accusing him of not having had afformentioned burning pissing thing. We were in a huge group at a festival and revisited the conversation many times that weekend. Grin

Went out with a bloke who insisted - argued - that it was Charlie Sheen who played the lead in Apocalypse Now.

POPholditdown · 28/09/2018 20:55

The last argument I had with OH because he didn’t smile once (not once!) when mowing the lawn. It escalated into a 3 day slanging match. My nan said to me (I was having a moan to her) ‘when you’re 60, and looking back on life, will that sort of thing even bother you?’

That stuck with me and I’ve been the most zen person for 6 weeks now (sure I’m due a tantrum soon..)

Great thread.

God I really want to know what happens when he buys the "fucking expensive crackers" 😂

GarkandGookin · 28/09/2018 20:58

We recently rowed over how to wash net curtains. I don't know how DH is such an expert as he has never done it before... Hmm

One of our worst rows was about cars - if we won the lottery DH would buy a Bentley and I said I would keep my (then) Fiesta for popping to the shops etc. He said (really angrily) 'well you're not parking it next to the Bentley' and we had a blazing argument - we don't even do the lottery.

HolesinTheSoles · 28/09/2018 21:01

When I was a student we thought we lived next door to an abusive husband, we were seriously getting worried and debating what we would do about it. WE kept hearing really aggressive shouting "you're f*ing useless" "I hate you" "You're ruining my life, get the hell out of my face all the time". WE eventually realised it was a teenage boy shouting at his mum!

EssentialHummus · 28/09/2018 21:02

Ex-BF and I once had a stand-up row about whether you should rinse mushrooms then chop the bottom bit off, or the other way round.

HolesinTheSoles · 28/09/2018 21:02

'well you're not parking it next to the Bentley' and we had a blazing argument - we don't even do the lottery.

Grin that's bloody brilliant!

I know but we never shall! Not following them around the supermarket to hear more is in my list of my top five life regrets.

Dollymixture22 · 28/09/2018 21:02

My neighbours recently had a very loud row. She had been on the phone to her mum and didn’t hang up the phone beciase he was home😟.

They row all the time. They have both promised no more lies - I will be monitoring to see if they keep the pledge😂.

I now have incredible insight to their relationship. It’s not working☺️

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 28/09/2018 21:03

Not heated much, but long running, me and dh about the pronunciation of bury (I've got an Australian accent), which progressed onto nougat. 35 years at the last count. I do remember shouting, when pissed, "it's not fucking nugget, you fucking ...nugget!"

SlimDogMillionaire · 28/09/2018 21:05

Wow do they always argue so vehemently? Eastenders with proper swearing. Only in my dreams would I be this venomous and carefree.

Causeimunderyourspell · 28/09/2018 21:05

@GarkandGookin irony: just explained the jist of this thread to DH and then read yours out to him as it made me actually LOL. He then said dead pan, "yeah I totally agree, why would you want a fiesta parked by a Bentley?!" So I huffed "oh you've completely missed the fucking point" and now he's annoyed at me Grin

Dontfeellikeamillenial · 28/09/2018 21:05

Before I married DH and moved to the burbs of North America I rented an apartment with two Aussies.

It was total madness. The girl was obsessed with r and b music and used to play it at all hours. Regularly took smack, ecstasy and weed but managed to hold down a great job. Brought a different guy home at least 3 nights a week. From Friday to Sunday she just used to drink, take drugs and go out to meet fellas Grin She barely ate or slept but looked amazing. Yes she was in her 20's but what the hell. I couldn't cope with dealing with all the random men in the living room every morning eating cornflakes etc so I moved out.

AcrossthePond55 · 28/09/2018 21:07

DH and I recently had a bit of a contretemps over which one of us hated Trump the most.

I won.

BuggersMuddle · 28/09/2018 21:10

Not so much heard, but I witnessed two women having a punch up in a doorway I was wanting to go through. They stopped, apologised profusely to me, let me past and then started knocking seven bells out of each other again Hmm

On the weirdest topic, I witnessed an argument where one person stormed off over...the best type of network cable for use within home PC networks (clearly this was not last week).
