One time in college, I was with a friend and his gf shopping for snacks. We got to the chip aisle and they started debating which flavor of Pringles to get.

This turned into a 20 minute argument over who picked the Pringles last time and why BBQ is better than Original. They were screaming...SCREAMING...over which flavor of Pringles to buy.

What about you?

And by dumbest, I mean best

 

[Camp Lo]

I can't think of a couple who hasn't fought like that over a food choice. Shit gets real in grocery stores.

 

[Kinitari]

I hadn't witnessed it, but one of my friends told me about being in a taxi with an acquaintance and her boyfriend for 30 minutes while they screamed the merits and effectiveness of rotating doors on air conditioning.

 

[block tower]

one time my ex got real drunk and high off coke at our apt, then proceeded to try and take my car to drive around the city cause she was annoyed with me. i told her no, and essentially made her stay in our apt so she wouldnt do something stupid (for reference i live in Chicago, close to downtown and she wanted to drive around @1:00am on a sat.). let me repeat she was drunk af and high off coke and wanted to drive MY car around downtown at 1:00am because she was mad at me. she faught with me for like an hour over wanting to drive my car. dumbest argument ive ever been a part of lol.

 

[Persona7]

same thing as OP except after 15 minutes they ended up buying both bags of chips

stupid

 

[MattKeil]

My girlfriend in college and I once argued for about 30 minutes over whether a little glass sculpture her dad gave her was blue or purple. It only ended because my roommate threatened to kill us both if we didn't stop, mainly because at that point we had devolved into just saying "Blue." "Purple." "Blue." "Purple." back and forth constantly.

 

[Son Of D]

My neighbours arguing over one of them mishearing a line of dialogue in whatever film they were watching.

 

[bluehat9]

I once saw a man and woman fighting about about what kind of hot dogs to buy (a pack of hot dogs got dropped on the floor lol), don't know if they were a couple though.

lol. Got into an argument with a girlfriend over whether Kurt Russel or Patrick Swayze was in Big Trouble in Little China. We didn't have a computer and this was before the cable box had a guide, so there was no way to settle it.

"How can you not see it?"
"Why don't you trust me?"
"I do. Most of the time. But that's obviously Kurt Russel!"

This went on for some time.

how did you get rid of her body?

 

[VeryGooster]

Watching my best friend and his fiancee argue while they built a glass display case was an incredibly awkward but entertaining and hilarious moment to witness.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

A little off topic but once a friend and I saw a couple arguing behind us when we were driving, they were gesticulating pretty hard, so then we did it as well. They saw us and started laughing, I suppose we killed their fight for them haha.

As far as the dumbest argument, hmm good question I would have to think about that.

 

[Tesseract]

my first girl and me, a two hour battle over the most efficient conversion factor between imperial and metric that came down to us stamping around our apartments measuring all kinds of dumb irrelevant shit like the rate of skittles down a block of ice cut at 45 dear god make this memory stop

 

[Jake.]

an ex and i had a huge argument about whether sasha grey was a good performer or not.

 

[Pickman]

Friend and his wife. 20 minutes in a car, arguing in a more and more heated manner until they just got quiet and she stared out the window furiously. The night was ruined.

The argument was over who just farted.

It was me.

This sounds like the (friendly) arguments I have with my boyfriend. Once of us has to be colorblind or something. It's always between blue and purple or blue and green.

That's hot.
I bet you had sex afterwards.

 

[Jarrod38]

While playing a game of CoD a couple was arguing who is going to change their kid's diaper. This went on for a good ten minutes.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Dumbest one I've been part of?
"I'm tired and I don't really feel like hanging out" escalates to "Why don't you love me anymore?"
That was today.

Dumbest one I've seen?
I saw a couple break up because the guy didn't want to bring his girlfriend home while his brother was ridiculously sick. Her excuse was "Why won't you let me see him sick?!"

 

[terrisus]

Man, the amount of innocent-seeming situations I've been in which have escalated to those sorts of points are far too numerous to count.

I think the biggest issue (or one of the biggest anyway) with my wife started over a delivery place not having any broccoli available for a chicken and broccoli sub.

 

[Ravek]

While playing a game of CoD a couple was arguing who is going to change their kid's diaper. This went on for a good ten minutes.

Wasn't so much a fight, more of her yelling at me telling me how big of an asshole I was, how she despised me and so much more.

"What happened, Ravek?"

Well, I just came home from work and she was making some sort of sauce thing. I looked in the pot and asked "How much water did you put in this, it looks really thin?"

"Two cups."

:::looks at the recipe:::

"This says half a cup..."

Fight. Mind you, she was pregnant at the time, so I just let her get it all out.

That was almost eight years ago. We're getting divorced for unrelated reasons. So I just laugh.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Two friends of mine (who are a couple) often IM me separately when they get into fights. They started comparing our group of friends to Gundam Wing characters. Now, Friend A loves Zechs, so he was very offended when Friend B chose Other Friend to be him. He posts the list to me via IM, I say yeah, you are pretty much Zechs. I bring this up to our group of friends and Friend B and Other Friend get all hot and bothered that I'm comparing Friend A to Zechs and don't agree with them, and am grasping at straws. This devolved into a really stupid argument about what kind of person Friend A really is and how Friend B is attacking him by siding with Other Friend.

If that sounds overly convoluted (because it was) then basically: they were fighting over comparing themselves to Gundam Wing characters and got mad that they didn't agree. Fight when on for a good while. They're both older than 25. So dumb.

 

[MIMIC]

Because of this thread, I just spent an hour on YouTube watching videos of couples fighting, lol

Some of my favs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3EG1FYaM7M (Couple fighting over debit card! Ghetto argument! MUST WATCH!) The camera man keeps it civil enough for him to keep filming, lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKlW-nJ1X4c (Couple going at it on the train! Lol) the argument itself is pretty gross
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfvw-mnrBoY (A Couple Arguing In The Doctors Office) Absolutely hilarious

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

A long time ago, my bf and I had a stupid argument over Metallica's music quality. We were both big metal heads in our teens, so it wasn't 1 person being pro metal. What sillyness.

 

[block tower]

how did you get rid of her body?

Lake Michigan and a couple trash bags.

 

[Currygan]

my mum and my sister argue about the dumbest shit all the time, which then escalates into some life threatening accusations and ends up with one of them storming away and slamming the door. Every fucking time. Last week it all started when sister bought her some red apples, and my mum said they were not red enough


dumbest one with my fiance? she tried to convince me spaghetti would be much better without parmesan. i told her, lol yeah, and she got real mad

Those are hilarious.

I was searching around for more, and interestingly enough i found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPxpWkqHHpQ

Funny, informative, and really interesting look at couple arguments. You all should probably check it out.

 

[Apt101]

I watched a couple absolutely melt down at the Baltimore Aquarium because the man wanted to go back and see the dolphins again, and the woman wanted to leave. You'd think one of them had just been caught cheating the way they were going at it. There was probably a lot of unsettled baggage simmering beneath the surface on that one.

 

[BodySystem Lars]

I witnessed a guy and his girl friend argue about a lame Instagram post, that "he hadnt told her about it before he posted it" and that she felt left out because of it.....

That guy was me and it was the stupidest argument ever, that went for hours......

I can't think of anything specific, but it would no doubt be something my parents argued over. It's a fascinating ability to argue over completely inconsequential things.

Witnessed my cousin argue with his girlfriend over the phone about who should hang up first. It was embarrassing.

 

[lunarworks]

Around 2am one night my girlfriend and I were waiting at a bus stop, and witnessed a couple arguing about making sandwiches.

There was a 24h supermarket right across the street. He wanted to make a sandwich when they got back to his house, and she said the deli counter would obviously be closed. What he said next was the greatest argument response we have ever heard:

"You've never heard of pre-packaged meats? It's called an education!"

Yea, probably the same for me. Can't think of anything but they fought over everything. Their relationship was pretty toxic to begin with, but my mom had this thing where she would always have to be right, even with the little things. Problem was that she was usually wrong when it came to the little things and my dad didn't like to let her just win. The argument would finally end when one of us told them to shut up.

Thankfully I don't care about crap like that. If I know I'm right I will keep it to myself and let it end. I've never had petty arguments in any of my relationships and all my girlfriends have always said " we don't ever fight really". If there is a fight, its usually over something big. Its probably from hating all the screaming and yelling as a kid. I just dont care.

Though once when I was a kid I got into a fight with my best friend over who had more friends. We started actually listing our friends out and arguing to the other if they were actually their friend. We stopped talking for a few days till we realized how dumb we were. I think we were 12 though...

Come on, seriously. It must have been Jeff Bridges. I would never confuse Patrick Swayze and Kurt Russell.

[ramuh]

Answer is yes if your wondering.

 

[CPS2]

Maybe not the dumbest but I know a couple who are spending way too much on mobile internet and imo should just get adsl or cable because they'd save money and not be on each other's back for using more than 3GB a month. I'm used to more than that a day.

 

[Parallax]

My friend, his ex and i were playing the dart mini game in that wario wii game, she had the lead for most of the game, and he pulls a comeback, she gets upset and questions why she plays games with him because he always wins. It got awkward as fuck.

 

[Sushi Nao]

"I don't want this full roast beef dinner you spent all day making, I wanted cheap chinese food" at a buddy's place.

Really glad me and the missus never argue. We never really get the chance to start one, because we're constantly sassing each other to begin with, so all tension is defused.

 

[Vyroxis]

I used to live with a guy and his girlfriend. They would argue almost every day about her driving the car to the gas station for smokes. The gas station was half a block from our apartment door, and she refused to walk it, and he only work 10 hours a week at a different gas station, so he couldn't really afford for her to keep wasting gas with the car.

It didn't help that she also topped out at around 400 pounds, and her idea of losing wight was "Well pay for my lipo and gastric bypass then." God she was a worthless fucking cunt. If it wasn't for family court in this state being completely fucking rigged, I am sure he would have left her a long time ago.

[zeemumu]

Every argument that my parents have ever had.

 

[Ferrio]

Only time me and the GF argue (isn't often) it's over stupid shit. Which to me that's fine, alot better to argue over stupid shit than something serious.

 

[Dr Prob]

I would never confuse Patrick Swayze and Kurt Russell.

Thank you! Not even close.
