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?

Late to the party but maybe he should ask Jeeves made me Grin

DH and I had a serious argument about where we would put the (unbought) piano we HAD to have for our, at that point, unborn, child so they could learn how to play the piano. Because it was essential.

I'm putting that one down to hormones but apparently it was so funny and unreasonable he still tells people about it.

Me And and my brother had a major row at an airport in Turkey over whether whales had nipples ( they do obvs so I was right)
We were both in our late 20s so not kids, we didn’t speak for the whole flight home

@SeaToSki - that's one of my favourites too! Although I first came across it in about 1992/93 in a viral email (albeit before the term viral had been invented, or indeed for that matter, before social media had been invented Grin).

Back then it was the Americans vs a lighthouse off Cornwall or Jersey (can't remember which but it was a lot more local to us than Canada!).

In the interim I've also come across it happen off the coast of Mexico and Italy - the former complete with fuzzy radio transmission of the 'actual conversation' that they conveniently remembered to record in advance - with the US talking in American, the Mexicans talking in Spanish... Luckily the video had subtitles and amazingly they had pretty much the identical conversation as they had with the UK and Canadian coast guards too GrinGrin (I suspect if you have a quick look on youtube you'll find many more versions of it too).

Although it is noticeable that in all cases it's always the American ship that doesn't want to give way and hasn't noticed it's sailing head first towards a light house!

I had an argument with my tumble dryer this morning. It kept beeping at me that my washing was dry after five minutes when it was still clearly damp. Fucking stupid auto sensing. I shouted at it that it was a bastarding bastard and I slammed the door and walked off. I pray to god the neighbours couldn’t actually hear me. Blush

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 28/09/2018 23:06

This might out me, but the biggest argument I had was with my then flat mate and best friend of 3 years. We both moved out and didn't speak to each other for 2 or three years after it.

The argument: which was better: Heinz ketchup & other mayonnaise vs other ketchup and Hellmans Mayonnaise. Blush

ShackUp · 28/09/2018 23:10

This thread reminds me, whatever happened to @SirChenjin ??

MrsJackRackham · 28/09/2018 23:15

Two pensioners were having a blazing row in a pub I worked in. They were having an argument about what was the toughest stain to remove from a carpet. One said Ribina the other insisted it was Irn Bru. It got so bad that the Ribina gent invited the Irn Bru gent outside for a square go 😁

ApocalypseNowt · 28/09/2018 23:15

I was once walking to my friend's house when I heard yelling from a bungalow. I stopped to listen as it sounded quite intense and I'm a nosy fucker. The stand out line was "Well what did we buy the fucking caravan FOR Colin".

I hung around for a while but never did hear the answer.

PinkHeart5914 · 28/09/2018 23:23

ask Jeeves

What ever happened to Jeeves I wonder???

Xiaoxiong · 28/09/2018 23:37

DH and I had a blazing row once about the date of DS1's birthday. He maintained it was the 10th, I said the 12th and it turned out we were both wrong!! We had to check his passport to confirm.

Now he is lying next to me in bed hissing in my ear "I didn't say the 10th, I had it right the first time!! I never forget my children's birthday except that one time in the doctor's surgery when I was under pressure."

Kernowgal · 28/09/2018 23:56

I had a massive ding-dong with my twat ex when he insisted it was possible to reheat mashed potato in a pan. I said it would burn, he said it wouldn't. On it went.

I stormed out. On my return some hours later I found lumps of burnt mashed potato in the bin. Did he concede? Did he fuck.

My father, aged 67 at the time, refused to speak to my mother for a week because she said he didn't look like Paul McCartney

^^
That is so funny, you can't make stuff like that up. Gold.

Reaa · 29/09/2018 00:19

Some of these are really making me smile - More please Grin

ColinsVeryJolly · 29/09/2018 00:35

A long time ago me and DH were the talk of my brother’s party after having a huge argument about how much sun screen needed to be used on our totally fictitious, unborn baby. To be fair we were very drunk.

I stormed off and had to be bought back by my brother’s mate who I remember saying he totally agreed with me Grin

AcrossthePond55 · 29/09/2018 00:52

SheGotBetteDavisEyes I hear ya! These last couple of days have been pretty harrowing!

I once ruined a perfectly nice Christmas Day over Trivial Pursuit. Not unusual you’d think but I know how to make a mountain out of nothing. 3 teams, 2 with 1 wedge to go. My question for the final wedge. Answer is Hamlet. I know it before the question is answered. I love a bit of Hamlet. Everyone in the room, my loved ones know I love a bit of Hamlet. DH is my team mate and I start running through possible answers. He gets confused and starts trying to help. He’s only allowed on my team for the sport questions. Anyway game is won, we’re on the way home. He asks why I dithered with the answer. I let loose with both barrels about being gracious and not some grotesque football launching at the goal. Apparently you’re supposed to make it seem like everyone else has a chance. Went on all evening. We don’t play any more.

Rtmhwales · 29/09/2018 01:37

My old flat mate and his girlfriend had a huge screaming row at our house, don’t even know what it was about but it ended with her in the back garden trying to climb through his window and him calling 999 to report a stalker breaking in.

Even when the police showed up he pretended he didn’t know her and it took our other flatmate showing the police their joint profile picture to stop them from arresting her. Amazingly they’re still together, quite happily.

Chiffon · 29/09/2018 01:50

'yes, well, we all know what happens when you buy the fucking expensive crackers'

I've been laughing solidly for a minute because it's like something I'd say! pmsl.

Sorry, this will crack me up for days.

whattheactualfuckery · 29/09/2018 03:39

My nasty neighbour shouting at his French Bulldog, calling the dog 'a stupid cunt' for barking, then saying over and over again 'you'd better get inside you fucking dickhead'! Classy! Poor dog Angry

Peridot1 · 29/09/2018 04:41

I haven’t laughed at a thread on here so much for ages!

Love the Bentley one!

I suspect what happens when he buys the expensive crackers is that he eats them all!

The Trivial pursuit one reminded me of a Christmas night playing TP with my family and DH. It got heated. Sis gets very competitive. She wanted Dad to back her up but he wouldn’t. So she yelled at him ‘I hope your willy falls off!’

Chiffon · 29/09/2018 05:34

No I'm guessing the expensive crackers sorry, giggling again, are a very sore memory of where he thought he was the business with his crackers and flirted with a visitor. He spotted them again and suggested buying them pmsl. Sorry, it's so funny. To me only obviously. She associates the crackers with this particular event pmsl. Just pms at this stage. Gotta pee

1in4FrogsIsALeapFrog · 29/09/2018 06:14

i once interrupted my neighbour giving a random cat into trouble for chasing a squirrel.

When he say me he just said “I hate bullies” and went back into the house

lovewatchingrainfall · 29/09/2018 06:25

Laid in bed laughing my head off reading these and can hear my 5 year old shouting at her dad about not wanting butter on the toast and then next thing I hear is ' well go and show mummy because it's not all about me!' she comes upstairs and goes 'mummy I can't handle daddy he put butter on my toast AGAIN.'
