I know some dumb arguments have deeper underlying issues, but I'm talking about really petty things that turned into an argument that would make others go "ok, seriously..."
I'll start. FI and I once argued over whether it was time to throw out my "worn out" running shoes.
We've fought about whether to turn off the burner while making minute rice. I just leave it on, he takes it completely off the heat and moves it to the counter. Probably one of our stupidest fights.
Back when we were dating, we were playing a computer game where you make cities. and I hate going to "war" in games, so I told him not to attack me.. Then he set my buildings on fire. and I lost it. I rage quit, uninstalled the game and got super mad.
We were fine in 15 minutes but I'm such a sore loser when it comes to games. lol
Where the state of Georgia is located LOL (I was right, btw...),
How to use the word "banter" properly (don't ask, haha),
How to spell Albuquerque,
etc.
Some very dumb things.
how much money to give the 13 yr old shoveling our sidewalk....he was being cheap and I wanted him to walk outside and give the kid an extra $10. He wouldnt so I gave the kid the money and was pissssed lol.
such a dumb fight.
@MissShork: That is hilarious!!
FI and I cannot play card games at the same time (like with friends) or things like that because I tend to win or kick his butt and he is a VERY sore loser... funny at times, but he gets overly upset about it.
@Miss. Meeps: LOL! I'm with you on that one! Just give the hard-working kid the extra $10!!!
We were out running errands I had to stop at the supermarket and I bought chicken. We were planned on making a quick stop by friends (10 minutes) but he wanted to drive all the way back home (a 1 hour drive) to put it in the freezer. I hit the roof...a frozen soild chicken isn't going to thaw in 10 minutes. Lol I admit that wasn't really the issue.
guacamole .....yep. guacamole.......
I was ordering myself some tacos and guac from a local take out place and I asked him over and over and over again if he wanted anything. I asked so many times because I know how he is he says no and then when i get my food he wants me to share it. Now, ok so im a fatty and I love my food and I get cranky when I have to give any of it up lol. But really it wasnt the sharing part that caused this.
My food arrived (keep in mind I asked him literally like 6 or 7 times if he wanted ANYTHING) and I sit down and get all set up to eat my food. right as I start eating he reaches in front of me and swipes a handful of chips and starts dippin away at my guac. WTF. not only did he take from what I had on my plate (which I cant stand) but I asked a million times if he wanted something and he said no. If you wanted some effin guac and chips you should have ordered some. so i make a face and I sigh and mumble something like "really?sure ok just help yourself" to which he freaks out and is all omg you're so stingy to which I say no its not about sharing its just annoying that I ask if you want anything and you continuously say no and then proceed to dig into my food and this happens all the damn time. so then like a brat I push the whole plate and im like here take it i dont even want it anymore. so he pushes it back and says no forget it i dont need your oh so special guac.
this 5 yr old behavior continued for literally like an hour. there was screaming and I may have cried and threw out the guac out of anger. it was so. effin. stupid. Of course the next day we were able to laugh and be like really? over guac? lol but ya it was a for real fight in that moment when it was happening.
We literally argued last night about who had to turn off the light when we were going to bed....I think we were both just feeling lazy and tired.
I lost.
My guy and I actually never fight about small stuff. Maybe we just haven't been together long enough? lol The closest we've come was last night actually. It was whether or not the computer is like the human brain. I got all bent out of shape when he flat out told me "No, it's not." but after a few minutes of me being huffy we talked some more and he understood where I was coming from.
My ex & I once argued over making Mac & Cheese. Yes....the basic Kraft in a box mac & cheese. He told me I put to much milk in it. Um....the instructions are on the box. And if you don't like the way I make it.....make it YOURSELF! Yep....he's an ex for a reason....lol!
This thread makes me laugh with relief that we're not the only ones. We've argued over: throwing out boxers with holes everywhere, throwing out undershirts that are way too small, the parking spot (we only have one reserved spot at the apartment), and my personal favorite, me refusing to eat lettuce that was slightly brown.
Our first big fight was over whether or not I was going to take my Aggie ring to Europe. We had been dating for a year and a half and EVERYONE was wondering when we would get engaged. We'd been talking about it AND ring shopping. So I was definitely "waiting" and this big trip to the most romantic cities in the world was well... a perfect opportunity.
When he told me he wasn't bringing anything valuable, especially his class ring, and it was a bad idea for me to bring mine I pitched a fit. Not just because I wanted to bring my ring. I reasoned (in my head) that if he wasn't bringing anything valuable, he probably wasn;t going to propose on that trip. Hence the fit over something seemingly insignificant.
He didn't propose on that trip. It took 8 more months. ;-) and I did bring my aggie ring. so there.
@MissMellow: LOL, I'm so glad you mentioned the lettuce. My guy calls me a diva for not eating fruit with brown spots on them.
ETA i guess that is a fight with deeper underlying issues.
so... our biggest "fights" are over watching movies we've seen a millions times(his preference) or watching something on our full tivo we haven't seen before(my preference). Someday when we get U-Verse it won't be a discussion. Right now, netflix helps.
@PitBulLover: haha we always fight about this! Last one in bed needs to turn it off.
We had a fight about him leaving the oven door cracked open after we have shut it off. He said he likes to because it warms the kitchen up (um ok, we have heat. And its on). And I got mad that our future children will burn their hands on an open oven. So we had a fight about our kids that don't exist yet.
@GeorgiaTeacup: we were both injured and home for a week (white water rafting accident..he is still off) . Anyway , we bought The New Super Mario Bros for our WII because you can play together at the same time., and our biggest fights were over him taking both mushrooms/fire power when he hit the boxes or that he would be too nit picky on collecting coins. I once got up and turned the entire system off in frustration in the middle of our game
so ridiculous we were laughing afterward
DH made me caesar salad a couple of months ago when I wasn't feeling well and he put slices of sausage in it. I nearly cried. I think I was PMS-ing, but seriously, sausage does NOT go in caesar salad! It was so nasty!!!
@Bostongrl25: see for us its different. We have a light for the whole room and a light next to the bed. So whoever sleeps on the side that has the light next to the bed has to turn off the big light too. We just switched sides recently so its now DHs turn to always be the light turner-offer!!! But he scurried into bed on purpose so that I would have to turn it off haha. Im bitter :-P
@MissMellow: I don't even discuss this with him. I just throw them out when I'm taking the trash. Two nights ago he actually casually mentioned that he seems to have gone down in boxer shorts lately. He's just not getting as many days without laundry as he used to...
That's odd honey. > > > walks away.
@CanadianMermaid: Awesome! I forgot that just Tuesday we had a knock-down, drag-out fight over me hitting him with a banana in Super Mario Kart.
@lola2011: Wow, you're a genius. And I'm an idiot for not doing this sooner! :)
@stardustintheeyes: Remember the "Joey doesn't share food!" episode of Friends? I am the same way!
@KitKatNYC: I would really like to say that it was just pms or some other outside influence that made me that way over my food but sadly its a permanent thing. And yes I totally remember that episode lol. I can honestly say I was really seriously like fuming inside when I saw him dip those chips in my guac. it was MINE!!!!!!
@stardustintheeyes: Uhhh I get that way about left over Thai food. DH only made that mistake once. LOL!
He travels for work and is gone M-F, and he absolutely HATES that I leave lights on in the house while he's gone... especially the front porch light. Apparently he'd prefer that I come home to a pitch black house (I work till 8pm) by myself? Oh hell no. He also says that I'm wasting money on the electric bill... but he has no problem leaving his computers on to run 24/7/365.
I leave the bathroom door open when I shower because the steam triggers my asthma. Sometimes we shower together (overshare!) and I leave the door open. He complains 100% of the time that I'm 'letting the warm air out'. Well buddy, better than an asthma attack so deal with it!
That's really about it, thank god. We really don't fight, and I love it. :)
1% Milk!
He drinks 2% and I just hate drinking milk. I'll drink skim if I have to. I can tolerate that. He cooks usually, and always puts 2% into Mac & Cheese, Tuna Helper, you name it... my food is thick and creamy. Hate that too.
He told me to go buy some milk after work yesterday. I bought 1% since I thought it would be a nice compromise.. nope... I came home and he flipped out.
Two hours later, I was ready to run out of the house to get away from the ranting. 1% milk did that. Wow.
@PitBulLover: lol. we go to bed at the same time, so we pretty much have a nightly race to see who gets ready and can jump in bed first so that the other one has to turn off the light.
We can't cook together (we can't even be in the kitchen at the same time..) it's always a war... we just do things so differently when we cook lol.
@CanadianMermaid: My SO and I cannot play Super Mario together without a mediator. It's pathetic. Lol
A frying pan. It irritates him to no end that I don't immediately wash the pan when I use it. Sparked the biggest, most ridiculous fight once! We look back and laugh about it now.
Words.
Sometimes we will talk and he'll use a word that implies one thing when he means something else. Then I will correct him and he will not appreciate my correcting him. It begins as a discussion, then turns into a debate. Occasionally it turns into an argument. We're both learning to just be quiet and let it die/change the subject when we see it beginning to escalate.
"to be" and "the milk is all"
Where I grew up "to be" isn't necessary in conversation to be understood (my roommate believes it is because of the prevalence of German heritage) and the ends of sentences is left off so it is not unheard of to hear sentences like "The dishes need washed, also the milk is all." FH hates this- with a passion (in all fairness he says "ain't" and "me and Knubbsy" both of which drive me up the wall).
Well one day when we were on our way to go to the store to pick up supplies for cookies I said "Oh and the milk is all." He said if I didn't finish that sentence he was not going to stop at the store and would drive right back home. I thought he was being ridiculous as he understood my sentence and it was not in proper conversation. I also knew he was going to stop at the store because he wanted the cookies too. In the end he dropped me off at the apartment and went to the store on his own. In my mind, I won- but he thinks he won.
