"You're doing it wrong!"
Arguing DOES keep married couples together, as long as they choose their battles wisely, it has been claimed in a new study released today. Well… obviously! But sometimes, stupid arguments are impossible to avoid. And they feel good!
Here are some of the most stupid arguments the listeners of Early Breakfast have had:
- “Adam here, our craziest argument is where I left the remote for the TV!”
- “My wife and I got into an argument as to whose friend's wedding we would attend IF they scheduled them for the same weekend. Neither was even engaged yet!”
- “We had a nasty fight one time over how to squeeze the toothpaste. He squeezes it from the middle Paula. THE MIDDLE!”
- “Paula when I was pregnant, I sent my husband out for 7Up, it was the only thing that settled my stomach. He came back saying the shop had none, but here’s some Sprite. I threw the cans back out the front door screaming WELL GO TO A DIFFERENT SHOP THEN. I still can’t believe that I did that. HE laughs... I still burn with shame”"
- “Hi Paula, my missus and I have had many a daft row: the emptying of the tumble dryer being the most regular one. I believe in putting the clothes straight into the basket and taking it upstairs, but she insists on folding them first and then taking them up.” - Ruairí
- “Hey Paula, I cleaned bathroom top to bottom few weeks back. Herself came home reckoned id someone in house and was getting rid of evidence”
- “My ex was furious at me for calling her fat... in a dream she had. Wouldn't talk to me for a while, I had no idea what I did!”
- “I don’t understand why herself decides to wash the bedcovers on the only day I get to lie in, I ask all I get it needs to be done but why now?”
- “Paula, my husband isn't talking to me right now On Monday he offered to do something on the way to work yesterday... I pointed out to him that he was actually on a day off work yesterday so it probably wouldn't suit. (we've 3 kids.. A day off is precious!) He hasn't spoken to me since, other than to confirm last night that he isn't annoyed with me, just annoyed with himself!” - Michelle in Limerick
- “My parents once had a fight about where the TV remote should go. It got pretty heated!”
- “My vegetarian ex kept trying to force me to become a vegetarian!”
- “Paula, whenever I ask him what he wants for dinner, he says he doesn’t mind... and then says no to every single choice I list off. Drives me mad!”
- “We had a days-long argument over whether peanut butter belongs in the fridge or the press!”
- “I was mean to her in a dream... I had to apologise for dream-me!”
- “Hi Paula, my partner is always giving out saying I never do anything in the house but when I do things it's never done right. How do win?!” – Martin, Kildare
- “I'm cross at her, she gets counter cross at me for being cross. Now I'm just cross because she’s cross at me for being cross. We both forget why we were cross to begin with and now we're both cross because we’re cross the other is cross!”
- “My wife and I have an ongoing passive-aggressive battle about how the dishwasher should be loaded!”
- “My husband and I argued over who would take one particular lunchbox to work with us the next day... We are both 31!”
- “The wife threatened to dump me during a game of monopoly if I didn't sell her the street I'd bought. I damn well wanted that street because I'd bought it with my hard earned money!”
- “Had an argument with my wife about folding towels and face cloths inside out… she insists on the label being hidden. Mad stuff!”
- “Well we're going to Ikea tomorrow to buy a shelf, so ask me again in 24 hours!”
- “Got into a shouting match with my wife over who ate the last bit of the lasagne!”
- “How to hang toilet roll!”
