    whats the most petty and trivial thing you've ever fought over??? had an bit of a tiff with a friend of mine the other night when I supposedly 'burnt' his dinner by setting the oven temp. ''too high'' to make way for my food to cook on the top shelf, with his at the bottom already halfway cooked. afterwards he came and said it was alright and it wasn't burnt after all, but he was hysterical over it when he thought it was.

    Oh some memorable ones with my no good, drunkard ex, started over the positioning of a Christmas tree and the mopping of the bathroom floor. Apparently they are pretty inflammatory situations. Beware if you haven't your tree up already. A sh1tstorm could ensue.

    Not my row, but I seen one escalate to a man stabbing another with a grape, over wet side out or wet side in when footing turf.

    Sorry to disappoint. Though the Christmas tree one ended up with him bursting into the bedroom at 2am in the morning waving a stanley knife around the place if that juices it up a bit for you? :cool:

    was it a fruitless endeavour?

    An ex once once started a row with me for being mean to her in a dream she had.

    A turf grape is different from a fruit grape. A lot more bite in it. :)

    My wife and I always have this row. The context changes but the crux of the argument remains.

    Wife: We need to go somewhere next Friday
    Me: You mean Saturday
    Wife: That's what I said.
    Me: No you said Friday
    Wife: No I didn't
    Me: Yes you did.
    Wife: I know what I said
    Me: Well I know what i heard

    Repeat ad infinitum.

    I once had a row with my ex because She moved to my town.. and another ex of mine used to walk passed her house daily with the pram because the local supermarket was up that road. And every time she passed my ex used to go nuts telling me to go back with her. Often Left me speachless.

    I think the pettiest one - though I did not even know I was _in_ a row until the other party took a swing at me (and missed) and then stormed out of the pub - was while trying to explain to someone how the "monte hall" three door mathematical problem works and why their impression that the final choice is 50:50 was wrong.

    Seems - thankfully it was not just me therefore - that no one else in the group thought it was a row either - till the other guy freaked out and stormed off. But as petty rows go - that was about as petty as it gets.

    I once had an argument about whether or not the written Vulcan language is illogical.

    I owed a mate a tenner and he rang me saying he was skint and hadn't been paid .
    So i was getting on bus but went back to his to give it too him
    only had 20e and he said he'd drop the other 10e back to me next day,.

    he was hung over , stayed in bed and I didn't see.

    i was enraged and abused him via text - we didn't speak for 6 months.

    kinda petty but he annoyed me.

    I did end up his best man years later though

    My parents once had one that got pretty bad, stretched from Christmas Eve into the New Year and may have featured a broken nose*, because my dad bought the wrong flavour of ice cream.

    *can't remember if that was from this argument or the one when Glenroe's volume was too high

    I stabbed my cousin with a grape once when he wanted to watch me plant a flower and add his own commentary on how it should be done. The hoor had been following me around all day and I just flipped. I didn't pierce the skin though as I pulled it back at the last second when I copped what I was about to do.

    If we keep going at our currant rate we'll soon run out of grape-related puns.

    And then we'll be in a bit of a jam.

    Once had a blazing row with my tyrant of a stepdad because I was going to wait until after watching the football to wash the dishes.

    It's not as if there were a lot of them or that we were even short on clean dishes. He just couldn't take that I wouldn't do exactly as he demanded.
