My husband loves to poke me in the morning. I don't know why, but I CAN'T STAND IT! Seriously, it makes me crazy, and then he'll do it again. He's sure we're having fun, but I really hate it. The thing is, he does it almost every morning, and almost every morning it gets to the point where I have to yell at him. He gets so offended that I'm so mad at his stupid poking, so then he does the whole "FINE!" thing and storms away. In in that moment,though, we are both actually quite mad. I don't understand how he forgets every morning. If he just stopped poking me, I wouldn't have to yell.
@bree- lmao. wow.
we get in fights about really really stupid stuff. a lot of it is because we're just so stubborn, and also bc FI has a tendency to exaggerate (which annoys the crap out of me) and then stick to whatever stupid thing he just said. Like one time he said he makes pbj sandwiches with 2 cups of pb. TWO CUPS. so i challenged him. then we got into a fight about it and how the laws of physics prevent 2 pieces of store bought bread from supporting the weight of TWO CUPS of peanut butter.
This is a very typical example of our fights. :)
ugh we fight about the thermostat EVERYDAY.
Our building takes care of the gas so we can crank up the heat as much as we want. Well, great, but FI puts it at 92, no joke, everyday. Its winter and i open up the windows and wear shorts and tank tops because its so hot!
I wake up in the middle of the night because its so uncomfortable HOT in our apartment. Throughout the day, we each turn it up (or down in my case) at least 10x and then bicker about it. yeah, its annoying. 
once we were going somewhere and i didnt want to stick the GPS thinging on the window because i was having one of those "i do EVERYTHING, you do it for a change" days. so basically we argued the entire way there because all he wanted me to do was stick the gps thingy to the window and i insisted that he do it at our next red light... and wouldnt you know it, not a single red light the entire way there!
so of course we're not focusing so we missed a few turns (yes, even with a gps thingy) and we arrive slightly late and a friend asks why and we say we got a bit lost and he says you should get a gps and hubby looks at me and says tensely "we do" and the friend looks at both of us like we're idiots and we started laughing about how STUPID the whole thing was
other than that - when it comes to IT stuff im positve hubby lies to me just to shut me up. im IT challanged and he works with satalites and programming so im sure he just says stuff like "its a server thing, cant do anything about it" in hopes i will just go away
My FI's biggest pet peeve is when he does something for me and I don't thank him right away. So one time we were arguing about going to the corner store for a snack, and I just told him to get me whatever. He found that annoying, and huffed off saying he wouldn't get me crap. Then he brought me a hot dog (WITH NO CHILI AND NO CHEESE). I sat down, still a little huffy myself, to eat it, and he smashed it! Apparently because I hadn't said thank you.
Frankly, I didn't want the damn thing anyway, without chili on it. He knows good and well that I like my dogs with chili on them. Hrmph.
lol
But bree that would drive me insane, what is going on in his mind? I would have a very serious conversation with him in the middle of the day and come to an agreement that he does. not. poke. you in the mornings. I'm very testy in the mornings if I don't have a good half an hour to wake up. I'd probably bite him - hard.
We never fight, we only ever "discuss" according to FH. Bless him. Usually it's over things like me disagreeing with how his family treat him or him getting mad that I'm indecisive about my career occasionally. Lately he's been getting really excited about the paper products we've designed for the wedding and he printed off a bunch of tokens for me to cut out in the wrong size! I could've killed him cause we had a limited amount of card. We always end up apologizing to each other for about 3 hours after any "discussion". :)
FI was whining the other day because he doesn't have a tool box and that is why he's so unorganized and I asked him what he has done to find one, they are like hundreds of dollars for the one he wants, and he tried to say he has looked near and far for a used one. I got annoyed and just told him to "stop whining already!" and he got all pouty. I hate it when anyone isn't proactive about things then complains about them anyways It's BOTH our pet peeves so you can see my frustration.
@Bree - lmao, we've had the poking fight before too. He SWEARS he's asleep and doesn't know he's doing it, but I call BS!
We really only ever argue over his lack of taking initiative in things we both should do. I mean, without my having to tell him to do it, or tell him how.
Momma's - you aren't doing your men (or their future wives) any favors by spoiling them rotten and not making them be self sufficient!
Hmmm ... we usually argue about stupid stuff. Last night we got into a pretty big blowout because I didn't bring the trash cans -- because I had a bunch of other stuff in my hands, then forgot when I got home and wanted to let the dog out. And as these things go, it only escalated from there.
Most of our fights result from mis-communication and/or stubbornness. He'll put his foot down on some random, stupid issue just ... because. He has no concept of "pick your battles." Ugh.
Whoa, we had a big dumb fight last night over American Idol. I don't follow the seasons, but I LOVE the season premier/audition shows. I was also really beat last night and he was on the phone, so I figured I had the perfect opportunity to indulge in some cheesy TV (usually we watch allllll the same, generally gender-neutral stuff).
If anyone saw it, you remember the hipstery guy who was kind of a jerk, and got Kara and Posh all mad? FH had returned to the living room by then, and we both found the scene hilarious for opposite reasons. I couldn't believe someone had gone on the show and been so totally clueless about what the judges expect. FH said "Oh man, that was awesome, he put those two b!tches in their place! They are so mean!"
Now I am not one to go defending AI automatically, as I agree with FH that it totally commodifies the music industry. But we ended up in a huge fight about AI standards/behavior and authentic music!
FH: That guy had probably never seen the show. If I was on there, I would have acted the same way toward the judges. Why should I kiss @$$?
Me: Would you go to a HUGE primetime TV audition and be d!ckish? No. And you would have done your research!
He wouldn't let it go and we kept fighting about it til I just stopped talking to him. Literally. Then he apologized for continuing to argue when he knew I was already getting upset. I hate when he picks arguments over things I am sort of half@$$ed about, because I feel the need to defend my position, but in reality I don't CARE!
Last week we had an argument about the probability that our kids will have blonde hair and blue eyes (like Mr. Kitten). It involved punnnett squares and everything. In the end, it was a draw-- I think we were both wrong!
Back when we were planning our wedding, money was tight. We saved every penny, but it was taking a toll on me personally, and not so much him because he comes from a family of savers. He's not as extreme as they are and does enjoy spending money for frivilous things sometimes, but during wedding planning, we had our moments :)
We once fought about pizza.
Yep. Pizza.
I had had a really bad week at work, and I wanted to go out to eat twice in one weekend, even though we were on a strict "once a week" schedule. Knowing we were saving, I decided on ordering a pizza, and the hubs (then FI) flipped out and said no, "You can't order pizza." It was the him telling me I couldn't do something part that got me upset, even though I knew he didn't mean it that way. I told him I would order pizza if I wanted, and he couldn't stop me, and he said that he would leave the apartment if I got pizza. It was HILARIOUS looking back and we laugh about it all the time. It goes down in history as one of our top 3 stupidest fights. We didn't order pizza that night and went to bed angry.
The next morning we woke up and just laughed. He said, "Order pizza! Why do I even care?! It's 12 dollars!" and I said, "Because we're saving! Let's make pizza instead at home." So we did.
Dishes! More dishes! Dishes again! That is the only thing we ever fight about it, and we get into REALLY big fights over it every few weeks.
We really need a dishwasher.
Hahah! This is a great post.
We argue about really stupid things. I'm kind of a neat-nick but FI is a dude and as most dudes do... leaves a trail wherever he goes. Grabs a plate out of the cabinet & leaves the cabinet door open, he leaves the shower curtain open, he peels his clothes off as he walks in the door and leaves them there like a 5yr old. When he does pick them up, he piles them onto a big comfy chair in our bedroom - no more chair.
To be fair, he also gets mad when he's say - making a sandwich, and walks away for a second only to come back and realize I've put the mustard away. It's the little things. LOL
About a month ago, we invited two couples (and their 2-year-old and infant) over for dinner. I started making the 5-cheese lasagna right when my fiance called and asked if I could pick him up for work. After telling him "No", he said he'd try to get a ride with a coworker. Meanwhile, I start sauteing pears for the salad, roasting sweet potatoes, and preparing dessert; all while carrying on with the (recipe from hell) lasagna. Everything was taking longer than expected and I was starting to freak out a little when my fiance shows up with one of the couples and their 2-year-old. They had given him a ride, and were therefore an hour and a half early. Rather than offering to help, he goes into the dining room and starts having cocktails with our guests.
And then, after I'm already irritated by the early arrivals (with no warning from him whatsoever that they'd be the ones giving him a ride) and his complete lack of help, he comes into the kitchen, tastes one of the pears, and declares, "These are underdone." I blew up, threw a bunch of raspberries at him, and ordered him to, "Get the hell out of my kitchen." Which he wisely did.
He came back a few minutes later, apologized, and explained that he thought the pears were actually (still crunchy and poorly roasted) potatoes, because the middles were white and the edges were browned. Apparently them tasting like pears didn't give away their identity.
Ever since then, he's been nothing but completely and utterly supportive of my cooking efforts :)
@Kitten WE HAVE HAD AN ARGUMENT ABOUT EYE COLOR THAT INVOLVED PUNNETT SQUARES!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I am not weird. Mostly it's just that FI is stubborn and doesn't like saying he's wrong or worse- saying I'm right :)
Honestly, my SO and I don't fight. In the time we've been together we've had one "disagreement" and that was about how to figure out what platform our train was leaving from in Italy. I suggested we ask someone where the information was (we had about 5 mins mind you) and he was certain he was going to find it himself. Other than that we only get "frusturated" because of miscommunication.
i think ours can usually be summed up by the "i do everything, why don't you do something for a change" and then move into if we're going to stay in orange county forever or not...
Corgitales--my FI does the same thing as yours with the pbj, he says ridiculous outrageous stuff, and I'm like, "WHAT??"
to dancy 905 I commiserate, must be a guy thing, I used to pick up after my hubby then I felt like a mom so I said ok wherever you leave things thats where they will stay, so I now set the table around all his stuff til he comes home and clears it.
One day when after a day of doing laundry and folding in nice piles I find he put his used clothes on top of a clean pile of clothes I just did, wow, I was hmmm strongly annoyed lets put it that way.
at bree--thats freaking hilarious, we are the opposite, if my hubby accidentally tickles me or accidentally smashes a body part (he's 6 ft 3 and strong) I start tickling him with my stiff fingers, he laughs and says it hurts it hurts, I still do it.
I also dont like it when I do all the chores and cooking so he does evening dishes and trash and cooks a pot roast for me on a sunday, an English tradition-we're keeping it for sure.
I feel very lucky. FH and I do not fight...ever. He used to leave his dirty clothes on the floor but I asked him if he would put them in the hamper and he did.
I love him so much and I Love my Zen household.
My cat sleeping on the bed. Specifically, my cat sleeping on the bed on top of my husband. I usually pull him off whenever I see him climb on, but at 3 am I'm asleep! I don't know the cat's there! I hear about it the next day though. :)
oh we fight over sheets, we dont really fight, but he'll let me know I pulled it off him and he was shivering all night, I also find out the next morning that I take up 2/3 of the bed (I am 5 ft 1 he's 6 ft 3), my hubby sticks to the edge and doesnt want to push me in case I wake up, I love my sleep
He gets on me about squeezing the toothpaste from the middle and putting my water glasses too close to the edge of the coffee table. I get annoyed with him because I'm the main person who cooks around here. He tells me it's because I like to cook, but sometimes I don't like to cook when it's been a long day. Twice last week, though, he cooked when I wasn't feeling well and I didn't even ask him to.
I get annoyed because I don't mind confrontation and fighting (fairly) to resolve an issue. He hates it and he'll walk away when I want to talk something out. So, mostly, when we fight (which isn't often), it's over HOW we fight and the issue that started the fight is lost.
DISHES! always the same story...every time FI is stressed about school/work it's the dishes. He had a housekeeper growing up so his level of expectations are a little different than mine. Even though I rationally know that it is not the dishes per se and they are just an excuse, I can't help getting sucked into the argument...ugh. The annoying thing is that that's the only argument we ever have and it's soooo stupid.
haha gave up on dishes a while ago, better down myself!!
My FI does this little number weekly: runs around the house screaming "where are the nail clippers" crashing around trying to find them when he has like 2 minutes to get to work. I am always back in bed after making his breakfast and latte (oh don't get me started on that...) and I can hear him running up and down the stairs trying to find them. Drives me nuts, I always get out of bed and help him and then he always loses them again. Tried to find a "commonplace" for them but then he hides them when I'm not home...this morning I didn't help him, he's on his own now!
We once argued about how many times you can wear a pair of pants before washing them. He believed you could only wear them once and then they must be washed no exceptions, and thought it was absurd that I thought it was okay to wear them 2 or even 3 times.
Also argued once because I made tortellini and poured the sauce over the noodles. He made it very clear that pouring it is wrong and that it should be dipped into the sauce...
Afterwards we ended up laughing so hard at the ridiculousness.
We tend to argue over REALLY random stuff when one of us is stressed! Like, once we got into a heated argument over a comment that Alton Brown made about weight loss. Or, actually, I should say HE got in a heated argument. I didn't know we were fighting until he was practically yelling at me. It's always one of the first signs to me that he's getting really overwhelmed with school work - he starts picking fights over the dumbest stuff!
We once fought over the fact that he didn't put the soap wrapper in the trash. We also have fought over me putting the hair from my comb in the toilet because I hate it in the trash, I think it looks gross
Bree - substitute "smacks my ass when not expecting" for "poking in the morning" and otherwise we have the SAME problem. OMG I get so mad and can never understand why he doesn't quit it!
FI and I just had a fight about the engagement announcement. He's not close to his parents and doesn't want them mentioned. He also doesn't want his degree mentioned because he thinks it's bragging! So, in general he thinks it's a waste of $40.
Ummm is it too late to put my 2 cents in?
You guys are funny, now I feel better. Dishes, Nail clippers, heater above 80, me squeezing the toothpaste the wrong way or leaving the cap off so it gets crusty?check, I'm the messy one though, and he never gets mad, he just mentions that I like being messy, and he hates doing dishes so I get stuck with that forever .
He hates it when I can't find my hairbrush and I use his, but we never really fight, we just make fun of each other 
oh reading this post was fun!
i get really annoyed when FI and i are having a normal conversation and then he begins to have a second conversation with me mid way through. i dont know why this pisses me off so much, but im like "dude! we were just talking about plans for the weekend, why are you know talking about some random thing your co worker did two days ago! literaly, almost mid sentence - if it didnt annoy me so much i might be impressed!
he says that sometimes he forgets that i am not in his head and therefore am not privy to his chainreaction thinking.

Mr. Tacos is NOT technically inclined. Last night he noticed the broadband light on the router was amber, so I reset and called the carrier to troubleshoot. We found out they recently converted the line type so we did not need a DSL filter. I took it off, it started working.
Mr. Tacos then calls his IT person, accuses me of initially plugging in the DSL filter, asks his IT person if the DSL filter was plugged in before he left, and insisted "we" didn't know why it started working again.
It started working because the filter didn't need to be on!
I was so mad I huffed and puffed and said I was leaving, but I got lazy and just spouted out some general statements about how much of a butt he is. I started laughing about it after he apologized (because the IT person did, in fact, plug in the filter).
What are some of your stupid fights?
