The stupidest fight(s) you and your SO have had

harper0813 · June 2013

FI and I got in a fight over the dumbest thing last night. It escalated a little too quickly, I think, because of the two glasses of wine he drank and the fact he had just dozed off on the couch.

What did we fight about? Him saying "What are you talking about?" approximately twenty-seven times while I was explaining to him that I was frustrated with myself for having stamped a good twenty of the RSVP envelopes upside-down (luckily, we can still send them). It was so dumb.

So what are some of the stupidest arguments you've had?

vk2204 · June 2013

We have stupid fights all the time, but I just wanted to say that when my H and I were doing TY cards he put all the stamps on the wrong side. I cried laughing because he "always puts the sticker there" and then realized he was referring to his return address label.

I have a pet peeve... When I'm doing something obvious and something asks me, "What are you doing?"
Soooo one day I was reading a book and my bf asked me what I was doing.
Dumbest fight ever.

BostonGIrl4732 · June 2013

We've had some stupid ones, but nothing jumps to mind now (probably a good thing).

FI tends to say stupid stuff that I know he doesn't mean. I started saying "Did you really mean to say it that way? Would you like to rephrase?" BEFORE I lose my shit. He knows I'm about to lose it when I say that and usually figures out pretty quickly why and rephrases. It helps...

Hmmm, we've had a heated arguement over which star trek was the best, which is pretty lame. It started friendly, but then he insulted Picard.

You don't insult Picard. Ever.

OMG, stupidest fight ever was last night when he came back from his tux fitting, but hadn't actually rented one. The lady threw all this stuff at him about having to match me, and looking different that the GM. He had come up with an idea of colors that I loved, and she talked him out of it. I was way more upset than I should have been.

We don't necessarily FIGHT over this. But usually every night we will go back and forth about whose turn it is to get up off the couch and let the dogs in or out. Usually goes something like this.

Me: "Dog is barking at the door, go let him in."

FI: "Nope that's his "mom" bark."

Me: "I let him out."

FI: "I got up last to get the wine."

Stupidest fight however was over Nicholas Cage. I think he is an awful actor and FI loves him. Too much wine one night led to an arguement and I got pretty emotional that Nicholas Cage sucks.

Stupidest fight: Who lost the TV remote. It got so escalted that we were yelling at each other then in the middle of our yelling match we realized what we were fighting about and started busting out in laughter.

ravenray · June 2013

We've had some really dumb ones. They usually happen when we are tired/hot/grumpy/stressed/hungry. So I am working on avoiding being in those situations and keeping my H from being hungry, which isn't easy.

Seriously! He was all "Picard isn't willing to take action, and is a weenie compared to Cisco." I couldn't believe anyone alive could say that ever.

I'm with you. Nicholas Cage can't act. Fun story: my uncle met him once. We have a picture of the two of them at one of his movie premieres (my uncle wrote a few scenes for the movie).

jemmini6 · June 2013

I don't remember any really stupid ones with H, but I remember a dumb fight with my exBF from college: he wanted me to buy an iPod and I didn't want one because I really didn't see the point at the time (this was when they were brand new), not to mention that I was paying 100% of my own education, so I really couldn't spare the money. We literally had a screaming, 'I'm not going to talk to you for 3 days' fight over it....obviously that relationship didn't last long.

DH and I fought the other day about what kind of steak to get to make our Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. I wanted to cry and/or laugh.

winelover123 · June 2013

We had a really stupid fight a few weeks ago. I was half asleep when FI came home and I started arguing with him about making sure to wake me up in the morning. I must have been dreaming about it too, because as soon as he walked in I vaguely remember saying, "I always wake you up when you ask! Can you please just wake me up? Geeeeeeze." FI thought I was fully awake and argued back. I only remember bits and pieces of that fight. Best part - I set my alarm that night so there was no reason whatsoever for that.

cofkel · June 2013

We had one the other day over laundry. I hate doing laundry but it is one of my "chores" but he does not help with it, weeding is his chore and I always help so I freaked out (incredibly dramatic meltdown) that if he loved me he would fold. At that point I started laughing about how ridiculous the whole thing was. Did I mention it was that time of the month? I can be a super cranky drama llama during that time. So dumb.

radleyboo · June 2013

FI was snoring one night and I gently tapped him and said, "FI, you're snoring, roll over." He kinda sorta woke up, then all of a sudden he sat bolt upright and goes, "YOU SHOVED ME!" and he was really really pissed. I spent the next 5 minutes explaining to a half-awake man that I had not, in fact, shoved him, but was just trying to get him to stop snoring like an angry troll. We bickered for a bit, then I said, "Forget it, it's the middle of the night, I'm going back to sleep." He dropped back into deep sleep immediately.

I was all butt-hurt the next morning, and he had no idea why, he didn't remember a thing. Stupidest fight ever.

When H and I had been together about a year, I needed some decals from my alumni school interchanged on my car. The old ones were curling up and looked nasty, and I got a new one and flippantly mentioned something to him about I would probably need him to do it due to my nails. I guess I never technically ASKED him to do it.

Fast forward a month and I totally forgot about it, but then I caught a glimpse of it, which reminded me and I flipped out on him. And I was all 'OK that's fine but you have to apologize for not putting the sticker on my car.'

And he was like, 'Um, I really didn't know I was supposed to, and I'm not going to apologize. But I'll do it right now.'

And I said 'No, that's fine I'll do it, but you owe me an apology.' I was being SUCH a brat, which I finally realized and we both started laughing.

Even now when we start getting into a small tiff he will just say 'Window Sticker' and we will bust out laughing.

smalfrie19 · June 2013

last night i got all butt hurt because we were talking about the wedding night after we leave the reception and what time we were leaving etc and he assumed the reception would be over by 8 for what i assumed was going to be an evening wedding...i flipped...not quite sure why...we went back to bed and did it and then i was better

AddieCake · June 2013

Something about pajama pants a few months ago. He swore he hadn't taken any with him on the road, and I swore he must have b/c he didn't have any here. It turned into a whole thing somehow. It turned out I was wrong, but at one point I even said, "I seriously cannot believe we are fighting about PAJAMA PANTS!'

I flipped out the other night because we got to a movie late. We had spent the day drinking margaritas and going to a fancy dinner which involved a bottle of wine, so that didn't bode well... anyway given the alcohol we decided to take the train and a shuttle to the theater. At the restaurant I had told him, very nicely, several times, that we needed to go soon or we would be late, but FI is friends with the bartender and couldn't seem to drag himself away from the convo. It was all fine until we were actually in line buying our tickets and I realized that we had already likely missed the first 10 mins of Star Trek. I got upset.."Omg we are so fucking late, I told you this was going to happen"

his response "It'll be fine"

"I"M NOT PAYING $30 FOR A MOVIE WE ARE LATE FOR!" At this point my voice was raised, but I wasn't by any means screaming.

He tactlessly then said "It's fine, stop screaming at me, calm the fuck down"

This was followed by me then yelling at him "I am NOT screaming, you want to see screaming...I'll start screaming, Don't you dare tell me to calm down! I'm pissed and rightly should be!"

After more back and forth yelling about this, in the ticket line, a police officer came over and asked if we needed assistance and that we would need to leave the theater if we couldn't work it out. It was so embarrassing. We ended up leaving and going for coffee to sober up and wait for the next showing. To top it off, when we tried to pay for our coffee, our debit card was declined. Turned out our bank account had been hacked and cleaned out. So that was also embarrassing and we didn't even get to see the movie. The funds had to have been taken out right during our argument. That'll teach us not to fight about stupid things.

I felt idiotic, but also justifiably upset since rather than FI just saying "Hey, sorry I didn't listen to you and made us late" he could only say "it's fine" and then just didn't get that that was what I was upset about, and was acting like I was getting all crazy about only missing a few minutes of a movie. He kept missing the point and it made things escalate really quickly. He is really clueless that way sometimes, but I need to be better at expressing my dissatisfaction. It was incredibly stupid. Also, I'm never mixing day drinking margaritas with wine again.

Nicholas Cage is awful. I would argue anyone to the death on that one.

H talks in his sleep and sometimes he acts out dreams. I've known this for years. Generally it provides me with a ton of good material since he will most times answer questions when I ask them. One night, I woke up because his fist was on my cheek. Not like a light, it just happened to be there from moving in my sleep thing, but full on pressure. It wasn't like he punched me. But he put his fist on my face and started applying more and more pressure. I flipped out. I yelled "Why the fuck are you punching me?" (Clearly I was feeling dramatic from having been woken up like that.) To which he replied "You get punched when you attack me." This went on for several minutes about how I never attacked him and I was just sleeping. I realized I wasn't getting anywhere in the fight because he just wanted to stop talking so I spent the rest of the night on the couch. Turns out he was dreaming that some guy was attacking him. My face just happened to be there for his sleep "punch" to connect with. And I was arguing with someone who was asleep.

MuppetFan · June 2013

I asked him about 10 times if he wanted to pick out invitations with me. He said no, he didn't care, just pick them. I found some great ones for $10 that were like 80% off from normal. He told me they were nice and we could use them when I brought them home. I did offer to return them if he didn't like them. Eventually (when it was too late to return) he told me he hated them and that he felt like I don't include them in the planning. I said well, instead of telling me you don't want to be part of it and don't care, why don't you come with me when I ask?

So I said, come with me, and we'll look at them. He said no, and told me just to use what we had. I went to a few stores. Took a ton of photos. Came back, showed them to him.Showed him some on my pinterest. I told him the one I liked the most, he agreed. I got them.

Eventually he told me he hated them and that I again, gave him no say in the matter.

staar, H moves around a lot too. He sometimes just connects with a soft part or has a bad dream and elbows me. We slept on a king sized bed recently and I'm sure it would solve everything.

@tarradesign I think a bigger bed would help a little but not a ton. He will actually get up and act out his dreams. I've seen him walking around one time. Another time he was kneeling on the bed holding something against the wall. It is an adventure sometimes!

Strangely enough, he doesn't go to such extremes when he is taking his anti-depression meds.

CLoGreenEyes · June 2013

Teasing each other about our celebrity crushes and trying to get a rise out of each other. We are both so chill about his thing for Kate Middleton and my thing for Old Spice Man until we just aren't anymore, and then we get mad-jealous for ten minutes at a time or so. It is totally stupid and pointless.

ETA: Just remembered the absolute stupidest - when I thought of it last night, I started laughing out loud and BF was like, "...What could possibly be funny right now?" We are both insatiable bed hogs and are always taking up more room than is fair. So one night, both of us half-asleep, I was getting fed up with it. BF was on my side of the bed and I told him to move it over. He said, "I am Jupiter and I will not move." I responded, "Well, I am a diminutive asteroid, and I'm about to crash your planet!" And I rolled back as far as I could, then rolled toward him at full speed and rammed into him. And we did this a few times until it got so ridiculous we just laughed and went to sleep.

Whether the Lion King theme song (Circle of Life) or You Can Call Me Al would be a better song to be announced to at the reception.

FMLKitten · June 2013

Last night we had a fight over taking a shower. We had to refill the pool yesterday. When we do it we can't shower because the pressure is too low. So DH went outside to turn it off so I could shower. I was talking to a friend of mine and he said are you ever gonna shower? I turned the water on for you. I got mad because he was rushing me. Dumb I know.
