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?

ExDH and I once had a row about ironing. He was selling his car and had someone coming round to potentially buy it. I was stuck into the ironing and he tried to make me put it away before this bloke arrived as he pompously claimed it was "embarrassing". My argument was that exDH was insane and that this person we'd never see again wouldn't care if I was doing the ironing and that I didn't give a crap if he did. It got heated (the argument I mean, not the iron.)

I eventually ended the argument by smashing up the iron in a fit of temper! He was a crazymaking SOB.

I too want to know about the 'expensive crackers'

Classics surely!!

Comedy gold

I had an argument once with my mother about a wok which I intended to carry by its handle to a local sports club as I had offered to cook something or other for some event. The exchange went something like this:
Mum: you should put that in a bag
Me: why?
Mum: someone might steal it from you
Me: why would they do that?
Mum: woks are expensive, you know
Me: this was only £10.99 ( or whatever)
Mum: well you haven’t got money to throw away
Me: I don’t waste money. And no one will steal the wok
Mum: I read in the paper that there have been some burglaries round here recently
Me: that was months ago. And burglary is not the same as street crime
more random exchanges
Me: and anyway, a wok isn’t a mobile phone. People don’t steal woks
Mum: you can’t be sure of that
Me: FGS give me a bag
Later, walking down the road, I thought “why on earth did I get sucked into that?”

Are you my neighbour? That sounds like the ridiculous kind of fights me and my dp have 😂

I called off my wedding over yogurts in the middle of Tesco.

To be fair to me the background was we had won voucher (we were broke and delighted), had done big Christmas shop. Queued and packed and voucher didn’t work. Had to go back and re do the whole thing. All while working, planning a last minute full wedding in six weeks on my own as dh worked away, two small kids with school and sports again managing alone and working. Band canceling last minute, Santa presents to be finished and both families coming to us for Christmas dinner and working Christmas Eve. But it was his attitude over the yogurts which put me over the edge. I walked out of store and set off home (madness it’s 30km) on a country road alone. I eventually got back in car and returned to trolley, which was still in the yogurt section. We are married and still together but at that moment I would have calmly rammed the yoplait up his arse.

We once had a massive screaming barney about whether the M4 turn off is before Heathrow or after (going clockwise)

Off the m25!

Was queuing at Tesco and a massive hirsute guy in front of me. Started putting my stuff on the conveyor belt and noticed a jar of pesto on the metal rail where the 'next customer please' dividers go. Thought it was his and just moved it on with his shopping.

Guy went fucking ballistic, screaming at me and calling me a cunt for 2 minutes. The whole place was staring (I live in a small town - folk still talk about it).

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 really made me laugh.

Imagine posting this in AIBU

These have all been using ..... but the at-risk-of-Street-theft-wok is the best 😂
I'd have been threatening to whack the thief over the head with said wok ....

borntobequiet PMSL at your mum's overinflated worries about wok theft

I think expensive cracker woman needs six episodes on Netflix to truly peel back the roots of her rage.

But there's no barney like a pre Internet barney. I had a schoolfriend who would furiously argue the most laughable theories to the point of spitting.

The most memorable was when she insisted that Jimmy Savile wasn't called Jimmy Savile, but was in fact named Jim'll Fixit. Because they WOULDN'T CALL IT THAT ON THE TELLY IF IT WASN'T HIS NAME.

We also had an ongoing feud about large hardback books. She maintained these were all referred to as 'annuals' and that she owned thirty six.

ASK ANYONE
ASK MA MUM

Massively annoyed red-faced bloke talking with huge sound and fury about a third party to a woman in a car park, and very definitely trying to play the Hard Man: "you tell him, right, you tell him. I'll see him here on Monday. I'll see him. I'll see him here and we'll get this sorted. I want it SORTED." Pause. "But tell him not to be late, because there's something I want to watch on BBC at 9 o'clock."

It was before the days of Sky+.

@ShackUp, was it SirChenjin who once told of a guy in M&S on the Saturday before Christmas, who had clearly been sent out with a Christmas present shopping list from his DW, yelling down the phone at her "taupe? TAUPE? TAUPE? What the fuck kind of colour is taupe?"

haus yep - she was hilarious!!!

She was indeed!!!

Had a massive argument with my now ex over him saying a certain actor was in Pretty Woman. I showed him cast lists but he argued that the guy was such a small actor at the time that he wasn't credited for the film. I showed him the name and picture of the actual actor but he still argued with me. It eventually led to him saying I draw him into arguments like that in order to humiliate and belittle him since he has memory issues even though I said it had nothing to do with his memory but was that he hated being wrong. It lasted two days.

There was another argument about the lead singer of a band. He said he was not an original band member and the first album listed a different lead singer. so I showed him proof that he in fact started the band with his mate and the others joined. He was having none of it and said he was right due to the fact he'd been a fan for 13 years and I couldn't take that away from him

My ndn. Young couple 2 kids. I'd seen the man go out that evening then around 10pm I heard woman (assuming on the phone)..you said you would be back at 9:30 - then quiet. It's now gone 10!! - then quiet. You know what don't bother coming back here I'm locking the door you're not coming back in. Then didn't hear anything else. Woke up in the morning and opened my bedroom curtains to see said man sock on Sat on the patio chair in their back garden with his head on the table. So obviously she never let him back in

My husband and I (we never row) had a massive row about our lottery win.
I said we still need to keep some for the future he said we should spend spend spend. There was shouting and swearing. I said THIS MONEY HAS CHANGED YOU AND ITS FOR THE WORSE.
I stomped into our room and hid his work socks and deleted his candy crush app from his phone.
We havent even won the lottery and most months we have only have £40 a month spare after all the bills

DontHarshMyMello I am HOWLING.

I have had proper rows with more than one person about fictitious lottery wins. Mostly because apparently 'I have no aspirations'

My favourite was at the till in TK maxx where a woman and her husband (both 70s) were in front of me paying. She passed the bra to the woman on the till, asking the woman what size it was, whilst husband stood there rolling his eyes. It was one of them crop top type sleeping bras. Woman told her it's a size medium and she says yes I know I saw that on the hanger but what bra size do you think it'd fit? Woman on till looks at the tag closer and reads out the cup sizes and woman says 'no well that's not going to be any good then, is it, what do you think? Shall I have a look at the other sizes....?'

I'm stood there waiting and another few people join me in the queue. bloke says 'well I think you should have brought your glasses like I told you to!' So she walks off leaving him and the basket shouting 'well maybe if I'd have had my glasses 53 years ago I'd have picked a better looking husband!'
