What is the Stupidist argument/fight you ever got into with your significant other

[Former_Member]

I am running out the door...and will check when I get back...I thought this would be a fun thread

OK..I"ll start..

So my hubby and I are heading out the door for breakfast..( now)

And he visited MI a couple of weeks ago and got me a T-shirt that says

" Yum Yum Tree" in a Logo..and the back says ( because I always do it)

" Life is short, Eat Dessert First! Voted best Dessert in Livingston County for over 21 years.."

And I was wearing it to go out to breakfast..

He says, " What are you doing? You can't wear that to ANOTHER RESTAURANT..

( Keep in Mind the restaurant we are going to is IN FLORIDA! A mom and pop shop..and i don't even know if they sell dessert!!! They only offer breakfast..)

So I laughed and said, " You have got to be kidding?" I have a T shirt from a MI restaurant and you don't want me to wear it in a dinky Fl breakfast place?"

He sat down and said.." Well I think it is rude and ill mannered ( ha) and I'm not going with you if you are advertisizing another restaurant on your shirt to a restaurant that we are going to be eating at..!!!!!!!!! OMG

OK..so now I'm on the computer..and I'm starved so I'll change my damn shirt..cause it's not worth it..Good Lord..

He's a fabulous husband........but Give me a break..In all the years we've been together he has never told me what to wear..and he doesn't have a controlling bone in his body...

but today............ugh

What's your story..spill it..

[Former_Member]

hehe, that shirt sounds awesome!

Stupidest argument with Josh: if a letter was a p or a d. For some reason we both got into the argument but after about 10 minutes realized how silly it was.

With my ex...Probably that I had men hiding in the closet.

The one that comes to mind is most fresh in my head

Last night I was in a crazy hormonal rage (the dead animal inside the wall in my kitchen doesn't help. It smells. Bad.) and when Adam came home from playing a show, it was a wee hour of the morn and I had been really unproductive, which only added to my bitterness.

He asked me where the iPhone charger was and I told him I didn't know (despite the fact that I had just gone through the whole house and cleaned. I guess I just didn't care)

He accepted this, with annoyance (he gets frustrated when he can't charge his phone. whatever.) and decided to try some of the cookies I was eating.

Noting his annoyance, I was ready to jump to my own defense at the next thing he said which was

"Where is the iPhone charger?"

Or so I assumed it would have been, but really it was just "where"

So I went off on him, asking if he had heard me the first time and blah blah blah He gets in it about my attitude and finally asks if I even knew what he had asked.

Naturally this shuts me up because really, I had no idea as I had assumed, and made an ass out of myself.

He had asked me where I bought the cookies. (because they were awesome)

Whoops.

marking for when I think of a specific answer.

generally the stupidest fights are ones where about 5 minutes in we don't even know what we're fighting about.

[jill2day]

The stupidest fights are the ones I can't even remember what they were about now... but probably involved our recent remodeling project
(He = function, Me = form, neither = follows)

that there is only 1 "c" in vacuum. i showed him the dictionary. he continued to call all his family members (who weren't positive, so this is part of why i'm dealing with this), then proceeded to look it up on the internet. where it was spelled with 2 "c"s in various places. because we all know there are no mistakes nor misspellings on the interwebz.

he still does not believe me.

[Former_Member]

My hubby and I don't really fight and after 10 years together we still have never raise our voices but we do get into some funny debates!

A few weeks ago I was VERY sleep deprived from a twin baby night routine gone wrong for a few days in a row, the house was a mess and money was tight. We debated why he could not just read my mind and know where I needed help...looking back I think it's funny but at the time I really was pissed that he didn't just k-n-o-w!

[Former_Member]

I remember getting into a fight with my ex over Smokey. Before he officially belonged to us (paperwork signed and address on micro chip changed) me and my parents had already talked about pretty much owning him since he lived with us most of the time. His old owner didn't look after him properly and would go away for days at a time leaving him to fend for himself. So Taz (our other cat) brought him over to ours.

My ex went off on one to me telling me we couldn't keep him because he didn't belong to us... like it had anything to do with him. That wound me up for days afterwards.

Not long after we broke up our neighbour knocked on our door and offered him to us. Needless to say we were only too happy to accept!

[Former_Member]

Mermaid..hahah..See that's cute because you are right..it's so silly...

Raven..Uh yeah..that would do it..ha

Frenchie..Dead animal in wall..hormones..lost charger..The perfect storm..that made me laugh....Well, of course he was going to scream..WHERE IS THE IP CHARGER!!!!! ha..

42..well think of something funny for Pete's sake..

Jill..hahahahah My husband and I are the same way..ha..

5 OK..that's what I'm talkin about........Hilarious..talk about stubborn..

Anya..Yes Really!!! How dare he..

Smokey...anything to do with pets and exes..will do it to me too..errrrrrgh

Good Job you guys...funny stuff...

[Former_Member]

My hubs changes words and just says them how he wants to. He thinks he should be able to say vietmanese instead of Vietnamese. It makes me crazy

[Former_Member]

I would have to say the stupidest fight DJ and I ever got into would have to be over weither a color was red or purple. We argued about it for over an hour, called my murlaist dad, and finally ended up laughing at the whole thing like a pair of loons.

[Former_Member]

wow, that's really silly. Who cares what you wear to breakfast, lol.

[Former_Member]

you really dont want to know.

imagine the arguments when neither of us speak each others native tongues.

[Former_Member]

Jenifer..Hahah That's funny..

Amanda..That's funny too.. I love to hear what silly things...other couples disagree about..

Diana..Yep..100% Who cares..You should see how these Island people dress..bawwwwwwhahahha... I could wear boxer shorts and no one would notice..

Star..Now THAT IS FUNNY..HA

I correct my husband's vocabulary and it drives him bonkers - rightly, so... It is pretty annoying but I just can't help myself.

It's not the little grammatical stuff, it's the Ambl-ee-nce instead of Ambulance. or Viet-ma-neese instead of Vietnamese that I can't let slide. I feel bad - it's not really his fault. His mom says the same stuff (which HE now correct her on) and the educational system in Oregon apparently doesn't know any better either. :-)

A few times the corrections were so bad that he completely forgot what he was talking about in the first place. I'm such a jerk.

I do it is because job directly involves the public and being self-employed, our income depends on customers trusting that he's absolute brilliant (which absolutely he is), but a few massive grammatical errors may not instill the most confidence. <-- Justification for my bad habit

For the most part we get along pretty well - it's those annoying quirks that we poke at each other about. It keeps life interesting I guess. After 10 years, we've worked through most of the big stuff. Now we're on to the petty crap :-)

Ahhh! I'm dying right now :-) Apparently my husband isn't the only one with this issue. Frickin' men!

[Former_Member]

Most arguments Manpanion and I get in are the stupidest kind - the worst are the ones where we go all day huffy and silent at each other and when one finally concedes - we can't REMEMBER the actual reason for the damned fight! ha!

[PattenCreations]

ROFLMAO! In retrospect they are all pretty stupid but the truly why were we arguing about that kind? I can't remember but I'm sure there have been plenty over 33 years!

My sister's hubby is the sweetest man, just perfect for her. But he used to say lie-ber-e (libary) for the word library and she just FINALLY got him saying it correctly - 4 years after they got married - she shamed him saying I was a librarian and I don't say he works con-stra-kshun - I say construction - so I deserve the same - ha. I never ONCE said anything but I'm glad it's finally stuck ;)

[Former_Member]

Ok..so we are on our way home from Michaels ..went off the island after breakfast..( see Rizzie I go there..love it..)

I needed a huge canvas..

I said to my hubby.." .I am going to Paint a Mermaid for a woman..on a huge canvas.. Her boyfriend is a Shrimper on the Island and he collects Mermaids..

So I"m going to paint her like on the bank ( real close so I can make her big) and then have water..blah, blah..beach scene..and maybe a shrimp boat ( she's going to give me a picture of his boat..)

and like just the start of sunset...."

He says.." Ok..I don't think the sky will look right with the mermaid and the boat..?????????????" What..

( If you look on artbytrudy.etsy.com you'll see all the skies I've done..)

He's like...What Mermaid would be out at that hour? ( Swear to God!!)

I said.." Uh Bobby you know that Mermaids aren't real don't you..???"

and he said.." Well, I just don't know about the water, the sky , the boat and the Mermaid!"

I have a 3' x almost 4' Canvas..I think I can figure it out...

I was ready to smack him...duh..

I said, " I'll paint..you fish.."

My husband have had the same annual fight every year for going on 24 years now. It regards the correct manner in which to apply tinsel to the Christmas tree. Personally I hate tinsel - it makes a mess, the cat eats it and walks around dragging out of his ass, etc. But my hub insists on tinsel for a real tree (no artificial tress here - not even from Michaels).

So as I am already somewhat resentful at having to use the stuff in the first place, this sets us up for a disagreement about how much, where, and how it should be added to the tree. I prefer sparse, thin strands, judiciously applied, and careful not to obscure the ornaments. He just goes with GOBS. FISTFULS. BUNCHES.

It was, in the early years, a knock-down drag-out fight. Now we're too old and tired. So we don't argue about it anymore - he does half of the tree his way, gritting his teeth over what I'm doing on my side. And I do my half my way, gritting my teeth over what he's doing on his side. And then I wait for him to go to bed and I remove some of his gobs. And he gets up earlier than me the next morning and adds some bunches to my delicate strands. And we never say a word about it. And this is how you put tinsel on your tree and make a marriage last for decades.

--------------------------
LOL! he has many other words he changes but I can't remember all of them

He also puts the inflection on the wrong part of a question and it drives me crazy

[Former_Member]

hahahha Ritzi..I am dying here..that is hilarious..

My Ex husbands mother would take 3 days to put tinsel on the tree..She starts each branch in the middle and works her way out..

It was nothing but solid tinsel..each one hanging the same length..and it was something else.. Not my Thang..but she was so proud of it..and so was her son who tried to duplicate it at our house...( Forget it..)

One year the whole family decorated the tree for her..We turned this huge live tree into a $ tree..

She had 7 kids so each family gave $100...in dollar bills ( red ribbons) $5 in green ribbons..and $10 in white..( Her hubby had died the year before and she was really feeling the pinch. and lonliness.)

Well she saw all that money and pretty lights and her old sentimental ornaments and she cried.. and then she gave my husband a $20 off the tree and said..

" Would you go to Walmart and get my Tinsel..." hahaha..we knew she was back then..

[Former_Member]

Aw Trude that's a wonderful story!
