Silly arguments
What's the most ridiculous argument you've had with a partner or relative?
Years ago I was queuing outside a restaurant in Hong Kong with my girlfriend at the time when she pointed at a bird in a nearby tree.
"What bird is that?" she said.
"I don't know," I said.
"No, really. What type of bird is it?"
"No idea…" I shrugged. "Haven't got a clue."
"Yes you do," she said. "You know what it is."
"What do you mean? I honestly don't know."
"You do know! YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO TELL ME!!!"
She then stormed off down the road. We didn't have dinner because apparently I was withholding bird information.

Hind sight is easy, but you could've said, 'I dunno, probably an Ostrich', if she said it wasn't, then the ball is in her court to identify the bird.1

I once went hitchhiking from London to Zagreb with two other students from Leeds university. It was a sort of charity event. I didn't know the two girls with me but they were v good friends so it was a bit awkward for me. One of them was extremely fit which is an irrelevant detail in this story, except that I would regularly bring her over as bait when trying to convince random Europeans to give us a lift.
I studied German at GCSE level but I had a very, very basic grasp of the language. You could probably learn as much German as I know if you just sat down on Duolingo for 1 hour. Whilst in Graz, Austria, we got picked up by a bloke at a petrol station who offered to take us to ljubljana, Slovenia which we accepted.
As always I sat in the front, talking pidgin German to this Austrian bloke. It was sort of basic stuff like where do you live, or pointing at speed camera and shouting "shiza". Anyway the two girls at the back suddenly told me that we didn't seem to be going on the route they thought was best (based on google maps). The conversation went something like:
Girls: Nick, I'm not sure why we're going on this route, the toll road is somewhere over there (pointing vaguely) can you tell the driver to go on the toll road which goes straight to Slovenia
Me: I'm not sure how i'm supposed to communicate that when this bloke [the driver] doesn't seem to speak a word of english
Girls: but you've been talking to him in German this entire time, can't you just ask him where he is going?
Me: Have you been listening to our conversation at all? it's been jibberish from start to finish. Besides can we really ask him to go on a toll road when he's doing us a massive favour?
Girls: Well how do you know he is actually taking us to Slovenia?
Nick: I don't, but we're going south aren't we? I can't see any reason to cause a fuss
Girls: We're really worried back here, and you're clearly fluent and just don't have the balls to ask him where he is going?
Nick: No, you're just putting me in an awkward position by making completely unreasonable requests but i'll do it anyway.
Nick to driver: Toll? Ljubljana? [pointing]?
Driver to Nick: Nein Nein [fingers money gesture], random German.
Nick to driver: Haha OK danke
Nick: Well you there you go, he's not going to get on the toll is he.
Girls: Can you just tell him to pull over and we'll get out. Literally can't believe you've made us get in this car.
Absolutely unbelievable. I was just sat there thinking how much easier this trip would have been without them.6 -

Mrs AFKA once went a fair chunk of a weekend not talking to me as I was horrible to her in a dream.Well, not just ‘horrible’, as I think I would have got away with that, but ‘really horrible, like nasty’ which apparently was a step too far beyond redemption

Bit off tangent, but when we were kids, 2 mates were having an argument about something totally unimportant. One mate was getting the better of the other one, so the loser stormed off with the parting shot of "well at least my Mums got bigger tit's than yours" . Still makes me smile 50 odd years later!19

I had similar, when still with my ex I was woken up by her dragging me out of bed by the ankles and dumping me on the floor because she'd just had a dream where I'd pissed on her! shrugs...AFKABartram said:Mrs AFKA once went a fair chunk of a weekend not talking to me as I was horrible to her in a dream.Well, not just ‘horrible’, as I think I would have got away with that, but ‘really horrible, like nasty’ which apparently was a step too far beyond redemption

Similar vein, my Mrs once got in a sulk as she described a horrible dream to me and instead of acting sympathetic like I apparently should have done, I dared to say "Ah, well, never mind didn't actually happen, did it?"AFKABartram said:Mrs AFKA once went a fair chunk of a weekend not talking to me as I was horrible to her in a dream.Well, not just ‘horrible’, as I think I would have got away with that, but ‘really horrible, like nasty’ which apparently was a step too far beyond redemption

I once had a full on domestic by an aquarium in the mall by the big fountain thingy in Dubai because I wouldn't give Mrs Fattmatt a chip (having previously offered to buy her her own portion, I might add).6

one of the irritating things about being married etc is when they say "I'll just have some of yours!". It used to be just chips and crisps, now its progressed to Rice when ordering a chinese/indian, and then she gets all stroppy when I say "but I dont want 2/3rds of a portion!".fattmatt said:I once had a full on domestic by an aquarium in the mall by the big fountain thingy in Dubai because I wouldn't give Mrs Fattmatt a chip (having previously offered to buy her her own portion, I might add).0 -

When ordering afters in a restaurant, I know she will give me a taste of hers without any fear of her trying mine. 👍3 -

I’ve had an argument ( maybe more of a debate) with a mate who reckons Kante is the worst player that’s ever played in the Prem ( yes that Kante) and he refuses to back down over it .3

Mrs Rizzo and I were going to a wedding many years ago. She wanted me to wear a tie. I hate ties with a passion and absolutely refused. Very quiet and frosty journey to the wedding. When we got there and were greeted by the groom, who was not wearing a tie, I was unbearably smug for the rest of the day.3
