my dp has just accused me of purposely sealing up a parcel to send to a joint friend (whos recently pregnant) before he put a card in it too, to GET AT HIM. his proof was that i did it yesterday after making myself a cup of tea and not offering him one.
we have spent three days being annoyed at each other, so we are building up for some great silly row soon. so watch this space....or rather, fill it in with your own confessionsof pettyness.

MaeBee · 23/07/2007 17:08

i explained i thought he was going off into town. really, i think maybe he was right, i was cross at him.

I stormed off to bed in a huff this weekend as my dh informed me that the downstairs loo (used mainly by dh and potty training ds) - 'stank of piss' - I went and wiped around the floor with the lemon scented wipes (on the shelf in the loo) - hey presto piss smell sorted. I felt like wiping the floor with his feckin head at the time...

Actually am still annoyed but I was soo tired I didn't have the strength to summon up a fight - grrrr

wildwoman · 23/07/2007 17:14

that's not petty that's valid!

enquireforpanherefiverapic · 23/07/2007 17:15

I have recently split up with my dp...one of reasons was he would never make me a cuppa tea. He would make ANYONE a cuppa...but not me
Thats why I asked.
Not only that of course, but its easier to make a cuppa than it is to argue about it!

wildwoman · 23/07/2007 17:17

My DP had a tantrum, I mean a proper one where he stamped his feet and threw his arms in the air in th emiddle of the supermarket becuase I said we were having roast chicken yesterday istead of roast beef. He wasn't joking.

bigmouthstrikesagain · 23/07/2007 17:18

I agree wildwoman (like the name) - but dh sounded miffed at me as apparently I am the one who deals with piss smells in our house apparently

adozenroses · 23/07/2007 17:19

lol!!! We've had arguments about cups of tea

Dh and I argued over the kitchen bin at the weekend. The dog went 'dumpster diving' after I put the remains of our evening meal in there - spaghetti and meatballs!!! We have a white dog, and he was covered in the red sauce. I went mad at dh about emptying the bin...and we spent the rest of the evening arguing about who was gonna clean the dog!!!

Also, another argument we had recently was about the dog chasing the cat. I picked on dh about his untrained dog and he picked on my cat for winding the dog up in the first place.

Ridiculous little arguments - especially about pets

bigmouthstrikesagain · 23/07/2007 17:20

too many 'apparently's there apparentlly!!

tornado · 23/07/2007 17:30

My other half stormed off the other day because I would not sniff their armpit to check for B.O. Not my thing really...

yaddayah · 23/07/2007 17:32

Yesterday I had an argument over coffee

Dh wanted to use the perculator
I had only bought stuff for the cafitiere

I ended up stropping into the garden and ds (5)came running out with the emergency instant jar , two plastic cups and a jug of water

Serves us right for being ponces

lizziemun · 23/07/2007 19:06

Not so much an arguement, with DH but i was getting fed up and nagging at the fact it took him all day to paint the walls in the spare room (paint was drying quicker then him painting).

I was being unreasonable as he wouldn't let me do it. Some feeble excuse about me being 34 weeks pregant so i can not climb on chairs or ladders. I have only been asking hom to do for the last 3 weeks, and we have to move some funiture around so we can get the nursery furniture moved around and the stuff from the loft so we can get sorted out.

mytwopenceworth · 23/07/2007 19:09

I had an argument with dh about how much money we would give everyone out of our eurolottery jackpot win and if we'd tell them we won first prize or not. It got quite heated.

We won't even buy the ticket until friday.

quiveutmabonnebaguette · 23/07/2007 19:18

The other day we have argued because he brought back from the shop, the wrong salad , he brought back the iceberg one instead of the ready to eat one..I went anal over it and I sent him to buy me the right salad...for my defense, I told him clairly what I wanted, it just proved once again that he just pretend to listen.

I know ridiculous..

Roskva · 23/07/2007 19:32

I'm glad we're not the only ones who argue about cups of tea. I always make one for dh if I make one for me. He doesn't think to make me one if he makes one, and gets p'ed off 'cos I can hear the kettle from any room in the house

LucyJones · 23/07/2007 19:43

We arged over the fact that I said dcs can't ever have a computer in their rooms.
He said they could have laptops which they could use all over the house...

it was petty ecause they are only 3 and 10 months

FlameDelacour · 23/07/2007 19:57

lmao

None here lately - not sure if that is because DH is being very understanding and worried I am losing it, or if we have lost that spark that gives the good and bad things

MaeBee · 24/07/2007 08:45

me and my dp seem to have made up after i told him about this thread and the funny arguements people have. and i said sorry, that might have helped. my favourite rows were the coffee cafetiere/perculator one and the computers for babies.

OP posts:
MaeBee · 24/07/2007 08:53

but thought i should add some other rows we have, like me singing "the farmers in his den" wrong which seems to drive him mad.
but the row of all rows is over that all important question: what is the moral of "The Ugly Duckling". This is an ongoing arguement which gets really really heated. We even got a copy out from the library, read through it, and still bitterly disagree.

OP posts:
Roskva · 24/07/2007 09:10

Is there a moral to the ugly duckling?

MaeBee · 24/07/2007 09:20

yes yes yes! i say its all about how even if you are ugly you can become beautiful, but my dp says its about how the duckling was never ugly in the first place, he was just being viewed with the eyes of ducks rather than swans.

i agree his moral would be better, a nicer sentiment, but its not the story!

ooh im getting angry just thinking about it.

OP posts:
FlameDelacour · 24/07/2007 09:21

I think it's both tbh - even the ugliest can become beautiful, but also not to judge others based on yourself.

MaeBee · 24/07/2007 09:42

flame - stop sitting on the fence! im right!

OP posts:
FlameDelacour · 24/07/2007 10:02

The ugly becomin beautiful one is plain lying in some people's cases
