Next door are having a massive fight about google

[GingerFrogs]

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 went on a blind date with an Australian bloke in London. I'm from the north east of England. I proudly told him that Captain Cook (the 'discoverer' of Australia) was born in my town. He said he wasn't, it was another, coastal town. I said it wasn't, he SAILED from that coastal town. He argued. I phoned my friend in the RIGHT town, said 'tell this plonker where captain Cook was born' and handed the phone to him.

I was right, of course.
Funnily enough, never saw him again

DH and I have been arguing about a particular game of scrabble for 6 years now.....

DH and I once had a fight because I insisted that the male actor in a film we were watching was 'The ginger bloke from Game On.'. Unfortunately, after a good 20 minutes of heated debate, IMBD confirmed I was, in fact, talking bollocks.

Just coming back to this thread.... I used to live on a narrow boat, and quite often you’d hear arguments coming from boats as you walked down the towpath (it’s sometimes quite stressful living aboard full time as a couple)

Good ones were

“If you WANTED to get to Milton Keynes by noon (on the boat, I assumed), it would probably have been a good idea not to roll a spliff for breakfast”

“It’s your turn to empty the toilet- yes it is- it’s not me that shits like an elephant”

“Where the FUCK has the dogs life jacket gone?! I’m asking you! Yes, YOU!”

Also saw two people having a barney about a lurcher that had evidently stuck his head in through the side hatch and made off with a fresh roast chicken.
Lurcher looked happy. Lurcher owner and victim did not.

@thesheepofwallst - a dog stole a whole chicken

I posted too early! @Peridot1 "I hope your willy falls off" - I am laughing so hard at these two!!

Sorry but milk in scrambled eggs is also an abomination.

In Ikea the other day I heard a young couple having a quiet but clearly quite serious argument, apparently they'd been out for dinner with friends the night before and the girl had been "throwing shade" at her partner and he said "THAT's why I brought up the incident with the crisps".

Going to the supermarket with DH today and fully intending to loudly say something along the lines of "yeah remember what happened last time you xxxx" just to see if it makes it into this thread

Our neighbour's partner ran a microlight company. They had great rows, including him yelling at her "you don't even think about me while you're flying about up there"

Net door don't argue about google, but if I had a pound for every time I hear them yell *'HEY GOOGLE!' I'd be a millionaire . It;s clearly a miracle revelation for them as they demonstrate how wonderful it is every time they have visitors too.

@SoSobored - Dad walked into the kitchen next morning saying ‘I had a really weird dream last night’. I said ‘If you dreamt your second eldest daughter said she hoped your willy fell off, that was not a dream!’

And that’s enough discussion of my Dad’s willy thank you.

I once idly said I'd like a victorian style conservatory if we had the money or the space (we had neither) and DH started having a go at me about who would clean the windows and did I even care about him at all knowing how ocd he is about Windows. It wasn't a real argument, though, as I was too gobsmacked to argue back. It didn't occur to me to worry about cleaning imaginary windows.

I heard our very shouty next door neighbour yelling at her poor down trodden husband recently, because "he was always doing the washing, leave the washing machine alone"

She is very odd!!

@rosablue - I've witnessed a very similar argument, over which two carriages of our train were heading to Blackpool and which two were heading to Barrow (I think?) after the train was split at Preston train station . Everyone ended up getting on and off the train and switching carriages multiple times. When we finally set off and the driver announced 'Our next station stop is Lancaster' people cheered as they were so relieved they were actually on the right train after all that confusion!

Oh God this is really awful... About 10 years ago dh and I were settling into bed, just drifting off when we heard raised voices from next door.

Obviously I got up to go listen at the wall and hear him berating her for not showering properly after spin class as going down on her was unpleasant and her fanny stank.

She insists she did shower and is clean down there

Back and forth shouting about the cleanliness of her vagina. Felt really bad for her. The guy was a total sleaze too.

I once had an argument with a friend over how many claps there are in the Friends theme song.

We had a blazing, let's-close-the-Windows-cos-the-neighbours-can-hear row in the summer...over the fact there was too much lettuce in.the fridge.

Best I ever saw was the woman across the road throwing.g her boyfriend's clothes out of the bedroom.window. I was less impressed when I got a full.frontal view of her next bf in the bedroom window

My next-door neighbours are notorious for having fights, they have one at least daily and theres nothing as good as turning the tv on mute and listening in..

the most obscure was when dh had taken ds out for the day, so they probably saw the car was gone and thought they could let rip as we wouldn't be in to hear it all, the man had been out drinking all night, and wanted a fry up, she didnt look after the sagas and they ended up burning them queue tons of screaming at each other over who was responsible for the burnt sausages and culminate with the man screaming womans full name takes a dildo up her arse, while she lunged at him screaming!

Ive still no idea how it escalated so quickly and I had tears running down my face listening in. they are interesting to live next to to say the least.

DP and I once had an embarrassingly heated argument in front of a friend. A couple of months previously we had invited a couple for Sunday lunch; by chance I was off work sick on the Monday (nothing to do with the lunch!) and DP wasn't working that day anyway. We were talking about the Sunday lunch, DP said "no it wasn't, it was Monday", I responded with "no, it was Sunday". This went back and forth for ages, him insisting it was Monday and me insisting it was Sunday - as, anyway, the other couple were at work on the Monday, so how could they have come to us for lunch that day? All the while, poor friend looked as though she was watching a tennis match whilst she followed each of our counter-arguments.

This was years and years ago. Even now friend and I sometimes (when someone else tries to remember what day of the week something happened) look at each other and say "was it Sunday or was it Monday?"

Some of these are majestic!

ExP and I had a ding dong about mayonnaise on a BLT. That didn’t end well.

I overheard a couple having a humdinger in Ikea recently which escalated until he yelled “DON’T BUY THEM! REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN COVENTRY!!”

I wanted to follow them around the store and ask what happened in Coventry?!

I had a row with a friend once over constellations. My dad was into Astronomy and taught me a few basics...

He pointed out Plaedies and insisted it was Ursa Major. I insisted it wasn't, it was too small. He said it was UM just 'further away'... Not only was he wrong but we both sounded like knobbers! Sadly this was years ago pre 'Google on every phone' so he was never proved wrong. I only argue when I'm absolutely sure that I'm right but then I just won't back down.

Other memorable rows with different people include
'was someone's new pram facing the pusher or facing out' (facing out', I was correct)
And the population of our city compared to the next county. (I was correct because I work in a library and get asked these things surprisingly regularly therefore I remember these facts!)

I am annoyingly smug when proved right though!

This is so true...

This thread is making me laugh.

STBXH & I often disagreed about things - he would never back down even if I could prove he was wrong. Just ridiculous.

One classic line was, "I only argue if I KNOW I'm right!"

Er, that's what everyone does mate - I'm sure most people don't just argue for a laugh, even though they know they're wrong.

Twat!
