LOL! That chick has major issues! I'd be trading her in for a new one after arguing over what our telephone number is....

[UDawg]

DUDE! Your evil! Don't ever post filth like that again. You should be Flibbled. That brings back so many bad memories of my X. CURSE YOU!!!

/runs away screaming like SAS from a gun fight :p

holy crap that is long:eek:

She really over-reacts whenever she catches me wearing her underwear.

Homeboy ain't exactly right in the head either.

I would have lasted like 13 minutes with the girl if that. Then walked out.

OMG, more of the type of relationships I was mentioning in another thread, that could chase one away from ever wanting to get involved in one such as this... Lets see:

Then factor in my being English while she is German, which not only makes each one of us personally and absolutely responsible for the history, and the social and cultural mores of our respective countries,

OMFG, how could anyone get along or get to the "kiss and make up part" if they utterly despise one another on the basis of their nationality. What could make one's day more crummy then to come home to someone who will rant and rave about how horrible someone is because of an ancestor that lived 500 years ago or so?

but also opens up a whole field of sub-arguments grounded in grammatical and semantic disputes

It's been my experience, when people start arguing about grammer and sematics, it's because they can't find something better to argue about at the moment. But in this case...anything is a grounds to argue. I bet if they ever ran out of things to argue about (unlikely), they'd start arguing about having nothing to argue about LOL

The way one should cut a Kiwi Fruit in half (along its length or across the middle).

Leaving the kitchen door open (three times a day that one, minimum).

The best way to hang up washing.

Those little toothpaste speckles you make when you brush your teeth in front of the mirror.

Am I the only one here who's thinking "Who cares, get a life" in responce to many of these arguments? It's funny in a way, but it's funny because it is so sad...

I eat two-fingered Kit-Kats like I'd eat any other chocolate bars of that size, i.e., without feeling the need to snap them into two individual fingers first. Margret accused me of doing this, 'deliberately to annoy her'.

She's allowing herself to be annoyed, and she's allowing herself to be annoyed over trifles. Who cares how someone chooses to eat their Kit-Kats! If she allows herself to be annoyed over people doing such things, her karma will be that she will be annoyed every day, for the rest of her life. The reason being that she can so easily find things to annoy her and be bothered by.

Which way - the distances were identical - to drive round a circular bypass (this resulted in her kicking me in the head from the back seat as I drove along).

If she's going to act childish, perhaps she should be treated like a child. This includes pulling off the road, and refusing to drive one inch further until she decides to behave herself. If she wants to leave the car, that is her choice, but until she behaves, she is welcoming a stubborn refusal to let the car be moved one inch further until...

First Born's name (Jonathan). Then, when that was settled...

How to pronounce First Born's name.

God help that kid when he grows up. I can just see it now. I'm going to say something the couple probably wouldn't want to here, and of course on this forum probably won't. But can't you guys give up your petty squabaling for your child's own sake? Is this constant argumentation really worth the wellfare of your own son/daughter? I hope this got settled before the child went to school having an identity crisis because he/she couldn't remember his/her name and how to spell it, and perhaps worse!

Our telephone number.

The phone company assigns it, just remember it and use it. Sheesh

Which type of iron to buy (price wasn't an issue, it was the principle, damnit).

OMG, this is just totally childish. One should buy what they want to buy based on what they like/want/need, not based on the principle of "getting back at" or "getting to" the other.

Where to sit in the cinema. On those occasions when we a) manage to agree to go to the cinema together and, b) go to see the same film once we're there. (No, really).

I've got the solution. Both sit where each wants too. If you don't sit together, so what...it isn't like the two of you are really together anyhow.

Shortly after every single time Margret touches my computer, for any reason whatsoever, I have to spend twenty minutes trying to fix crashes, locked systems, data loses, jammed drives, bizarre re-configurations and things stuck in the keyboard. There then follows a free and frank exchange of views with, in my corner, 'It's your fault,' and, in hers, 'It's a curious statistical anomaly.'

Showing respect for another's property, can be a sure sign of how much respect one holds for another individual. Many wouldn't think of deliberitely damaging or messing up a strangers property (aka vandalizing and stuff), and would take extra care of a friend's item that they are borrowing. Though this might be ignorance on her part, it seems questionably and possibly revealing also...

The list is too long to respond to all the items. Sheesh, at this point to sum up what I would have to say to them Get a life!!!! Sheesh Gawd, I hope I don't end up in the midst of that and that I don't have any nasty karma that could put me there :o Sheesh

Edit: Just read a bit further on...this goes beyond the "get a life" and reaches a level of insanity and in some cases abusiveness (in non-physical ways) arguably. Walks away shaking head. I'm not sure how much more of this I would care to even read right now. I think I might have gotten half to 2/3rds way through

*snicker..snort* This is ****in great man. :D

[potnoodlegirl]

God, she makes me look normal and sane which I didn't think was possible!

[intercede007]

I argued with my girl last night about how much olive oil I put in the pasta. A few days before that, she and I debated about how much semolina I used to make the ravioli. She and I had a rather heated discussion about which way was better to vaccum the carpet; she likes to see the darker knap when she comes in the door, and I just don't give a rats a$$. Once she took me on about Oil changes..she says 5000 miles, never sooner. We nit-pick about each others driving habits. She doesn't like how slow I drive, I can't stand how she never uses turn signals. She gets on me about parking the Jetta way back "in the sticks" when we go to Wal-Mart or the mall. She tells me I eat too fast. She tells me I shouldn't iron with starch, I tell her its the only way I like my button-ups.

Yeah, me and women argue about stuff. It happens. And I'm sure if I was as anal about it as our "womens underwear wearing" complaint logger, my list would be just as long.

But you know what? There are 24 hours in a day, and 365 in a year, and even if we argued until we were blue in the face for 364, that 1 day would make it all worth it.

People disagree. WooHoo...have fun with it. Variety is the spice of life.

[vampireuk]

Gah!! I hate drivers that dont use their indicators!!

[Son Goku]

Ya know, when I was growing up my father used to make a thing about how my mother vacuumed the carpet. He was like "you don't do it right, because when you do it the wheels leave lines in the carpet". Well with all due respect, if someone is going to make a big deal about how the carpet is vacuumed, let them do it LOL

I think the people in this web log take the "having it out sometimes can be good for a relationship" way too far. It is true that bottling everything up so that it explodes one day like a volcano might not be the healthiest thing...but from this description they're erupting all the time. A seperation or some serious relationship councling would do those two in this web log some good. Of course, if the therapist got to asking them to mention the others good points or if each one has any less then desireable traits of their own, I wonder if they could be self honest enough to do it :p

If one's favorite thing to do is to argue, one thing that can get their goat the most is to simply refuse to argue. Then the person can continue to rant and rave in public, and as no one is ranting back...everyone around them will start to wonder what's going on and give the ranter "the stair" LOL

Of course that takes a certain amount of self control and determination on one's part, not to be drawn in...and to keep one's head as those around one are losing it... But sometimes to get anywhere with some people it requires one to put their foot down and make it quite firmly known that one is not willing to be drawn in any further. Case closed, discussion ended, "I have listened to all this nonsense about as much as I care to...when you can be civil, then we can speak again..."
