engaged yet trick them into marrying each other problem solved my wife and i got into a screaming match because our broccoli wasn't growing as well as we thought it should and clearly it was the other person's fault our marriage where the big things matter less and the little things are explosive honey i got fired that's okay we'll work through this together honey i move the cereal to the left side of the pantry are you freaking kidding me the right side is clearly more easily accessible i want a divorce i was living with a buddy and we were getting on each other's nerves one night we were arguing about whether to break spaghetti noodles in half i finally said you cook yours your way broken and i'll cook mine unbroken he took half the spaghetti from the package and broken the noodles in half put them in boiling water and started stirring while i stood there with the package mostly we glared at each other then he reminded me to add my half to the pot after i did it then he thought of something how are we going to separate the long noodles from the short ones jokes on you he's getting twice as many noodles when i was six my friend and i stood facing each other arguing about which hand was your left and which was your right it took us about five minutes to realize that when standing opposite someone your left side is there right i had an ex argue with me over which would weigh more a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers we went back and forth forever while i tried to explain it to her it did not help when her mother chimed in with what about a pound of wet feathers the apple does not fall far from the tree number her mother knew what she did was toss a grenade into the conversation and walked away way back when i was a phone service advisor for a credit card company this lady called in confused ms heck about a piece of mail we had sent her i don't understand why you sent me a bill i paid for the tv at the store with my card yes mom now this is a bill for using your credit card but i used my credit card why would i have to pay a game this went on for about a good hour this poor excuse for an adult believed that a credit card with just an all-access pass to buy anything you wanted for free that was a devastating job the arguments you have where someone is venting at you at something infuriating and you agree with them but they are so mad that they want to argue with you about it even though you agree with them and say yes throughout the conversation that is like 80 of my conversations on reddit my friend once tried to argue that token the black character in south park was named as such because black people are stereotypically always talking on weed and crack i argued that it was because he's the token black character i argued that it was because he's the token black character i'm pretty sure they specifically say this in at least one episode me and my friend are both smokers we were talking to my other friend who wasn't the non-smoking friend was saying how bad smoking is etc and that we should both quit and my smoking friend was arguing that smoking wasn't bad for you at all and he had no reason to quit now at first i thought he was joking didn't know he was deadly serious so i informed him he was wrong and that smoking does indeed kill people he got angry scream that we were lying then left and hasn't spoken to me since this was like six years ago haha that's the most sincere hardcore form of denial i've heard in a while not me but my parents they got into an argument about a little bit of source getting wasted because it came out too fast my dad got p off about it because he's just quit smoking and they haven't spoken to each other for nearly two days now my parents go on redid too so i hope they see this and realize how stupid they're being at the olive bars at grocery stores you can buy these cherry peppers that are stuffed with prosciutto and cheese well my dad and i love them things and one day he bought a bunch of them through the course of the week we ate them all except one which sat in the container for three days uneaten so i ate it and that's where i went wrong two weeks went by before my dad would speak to me again simply because i ate the last pepper before he did friend farts me did you just fart friend no i didn't me yes you did friend no i didn't you freaking liar silence only a horrible smell he was the only one with me in that room and he's known for lying he didn't fart he pooped himself i once got in an argument with my roommate about who could raise the fastest duck i was in a fraternity in college and a sorority on campus had invited us to participate in a rubber duck race fundraiser where the rubber ducks would float down a creek through campus and the person that bought the winning duck got a prize being the smartest i am i asked the sorority president if i could enter a real duck she didn't believe i would and said yeah sure whatever matman 88 later that night my roommate and i got drunk and got in a heated debate over who could raise the faster duck we woke up the next morning and headed to the nearest poultry farm where we each bought a duckling and raised it for the next month and a half their names were cheese and quackers one day i came home to find all sorts of witchcraft spell books strewn about our counter i asked him what they were and he opened one up grabbed my duck and started cursing it apparently he had gone to a palm reader to seek advice as a joke we kept them in our fenced-in backyard in the day after he had cursed my duck a storm blew down part of our fence and our ducks escaped i still blame the voodoo curse to this day my duck quackers easily would have won and he had to resort to consulting the great beyond to ruin the entire race for both of us tl dr i had the faster duck but was foiled by a curse my friend was convinced selfish was pronounced shellfish i wrote out the word out sounded it out and it was like i was saying the sun was blue she just wouldn't have it idk if she was screwing with me but two three years after that whole argument we got in a different argument about her basically being a bee and she says sorry i was being shellfish i couldn't stay mad at that [ __ ] my friend i think you were the victim of a long con that if you go on someone's property you're their property needless to say he isn't very bright he's locked up in my garage now he's locked up in my garage now it's probably for the best a woman i used to work with at a university got into an argument with me because she didn't believe that the different races of humans were in fact the same species her final argument you're wrong it's like whites and native americans are just like fish and dolphins they're both in the ocean but not the same species now do you get it um no not really and not at all coincidentally this was the worst group of co-workers i have ever had jane it was about minus 40 outside in the winters bill celsius or fahrenheit me they are actually the same as -40 jane really bill no they aren't you're talking crap me i'm 99 sure that they are the same at -40 bill i have a physics degree you're an idiot bill then went on to reference my idiocy twice more over the course of the evening bill is a t my cousin said that her laptop was overheating and making a buzzing sound her friend piped up and commented that it was most definitely a virus and she should take it to geek squad to have it removed i said no it's not a virus it's probably your fan your fan is messed up it's probably just dusty try cleaning that out note i am not an i.t professional but come on this girl got righteously p and told me that no it was a virus and she knows because she had the same issue with her laptop a few months ago and kick squad fixed it this went back and forth for a bit with me insisting that a virus doesn't affect the fan function it was literally a hardware issue and she was talking to me like she couldn't believe how freaking stupid i was to not realize that a virus was making my cousin's laptop fan bogged down i finally explained to her how viruses work and she stomped her foot like a child and exploded that it's still a virus the virus just deleted the fire that runs the fan i stare at her in disbelief the fire that runs the fan what is that fan eggs and she said finally you get it she was so convinced that this was the case that my cousin not noted for her critical thinking skills believed her and said she'd just take the laptop in to have it checked and cleaned whatever if you want to pay out the bus to have some smug douche geek squad fix your laptop ain't my business there's two kinds of people people who never call tech support and always go to you because you know a ton about computers and then there's the people that never go to you for free help because you're not wearing a shirt with a tech support logo on your nipple friend if you are driving 100 kilometers per hour you are driving one kilometer per minute me no you are driving almost two kilometers per minute friend you hire something that human blood is blue before it hits oxygen which is why your veins are blue this lead to fifth grade me poking myself with pins for hours to see if i could see it change over from blue to red while my brother kept me at it be telling me i wasn't doing it fast enough god dang older brothers i think if you were stabbing yourself for hours your brother won i had an extended argument about whether or not oregon trail the game promoted communism like this was like 20 30 minutes of arguing number no it doesn't you would say that you freaking call me at my old job i'd gone to get something off the printer and when i got back to my desk the director came over to me and pulled me into his office for a word jenny you need to make sure you're wearing shoes i am wearing shoes you weren't just then when you walked to the printer oh yes i was no you weren't i saw that you weren't wearing shoes please make sure you're wearing shoes in the office it's for health and safety i was wearing shoes no you weren't yes i was i was wearing shoes no you weren't why wouldn't i be wearing shoes why would i take my shoes off to go to the printer and then immediately put them on when get back to my desk listen just make sure you're wearing shoes at all times baffled i was wearing freaking shoes comma that may top the shoes argument in fairness yeah but your boss is an adult i assume i was about 13 and me and my friend were watching tv at her house an advert came on for go ahead biscuits my friend said those taste disgusting yeah i agreed have you even tried them yes i hadn't but i didn't want to admit to my lie no you haven't yes i have all right then what do they taste like disgusting you haven't even tried them i have this angered her for some reason so she slapped me i slapped her back that was harder she said hitting me back harder i hit her back harder we spent the next 10 minutes hitting each other progressively getting harder and more violent until we'd both fallen off the sofa and were full on scrapping on the floor there were tears and bruises it was vicious we didn't speak for about two hours after that until we eventually realized how ridiculous it all was and started laughing hysterically then we cried some more and then we hugged and that may top the shoes argument in fairness one day my girlfriend was a huge bee all day treating me like crap yelling at me then finally saying well at least i didn't kiss another person while we were together dumb struck i asked her when this happened she said yesterday at your friend's party that's weird i went to school then work then came over and we went to bed it was at that point that we realized it was a dream thanks lady a phone number i frequently call ends and 6272 i remember that by darling nasa friends of mine vehemently disagreed and said i was dialing the wrong number the correct number was nappa they're the same numbers on the keypad 666 spells mom so it's really easy to remember what to dial to get that entry to come up on my cell phone me and my dad got into a yelling match about who farted in the car there was only the two of us in the car too he farted and he won using the ill ground u over trump card friend tried to put aluminium foil in the microwave i and literally every other person we asked from friends to complete strangers tried to explain that it does not end well they strongly believed and i quote it just makes a little light show in the microwave don't put metal in the science oven any of the rhetorical theoretical arguments my wife and i have from time to time for example we recently had an argument about how we would furnish the non-existent hypothetical eight-bedroom mansion we would live in if we were billionaires she wanted it to be full of antiques i wanted a stylish and futuristic minimalist theme my mom is super religious and superstitious so whenever i would say something negative we would have to cancel it by saying cancel cancel cancel so whatever bad thing we said wouldn't come true so one day my sister did something stupid and 12 year old me said you are stupid and i hope you die my mom heard me from the room and screamed at me cancel i.t me no mom cancel it three times me fine cancel mom three times me no mom cancel it two more me cancel mom one more me mom go to your room you are grounded me cancel cancel cancel i am sorry mom pls yay i was vegan for a few years and joined a club type organization we would swap recipes talk about new products and just hang out most of the people were pretty awesome bit like everything some were a bit loony there was this one girl who thought all animals could choose to be vegan in her opinion a wolf could just decide one day i want to avoid animal products so she would talk about wanting to go speak to wild animals about the benefits of a vegan diet i tried to tell her that animals really couldn't just go vegan and she suggested that we feed them soy-based meat alternatives we all tried to help her understand that animals can't and she refused to believe us she eventually stopped coming to the get-togethers thankfully she refused to own pets so no animals directly suffered from her beliefs they just had to listen to her talk when she went out converting you absolutely should have encouraged her to go talk to grizzlies and lions it may have been beneficial to everyone my colleague and i spent half a day trying to decide what would be best burp confetti or fart glitter thank you internet for giving us wonderful things but confetti fart glitter would get stuck in your pants i had a computer science teacher who didn't know anything about technology we got into arguments because she insisted that a degree in creative writing would be the best way to prepare yourself for an i.t job rather than a degree in computer science creative writing could be useful when explaining to your boss why the code you wrote doesn't work a couple of my friends and i all worked at the same grocery store when we were in high school one day one of friends we'll call him sean was begging for me as i was checking out a customer this customer had a pretty big order which isn't a big issue until i scanned her cucumbers i'll never forget those cucumbers sean went to bag the cucumbers by laying them in the bag vertically which eight stroke ten punctures a bag and causes it to rip and all the groceries to fall out after the lady's order was complete i told how to bag them horizontally or at the very least at a diagonal and now sean didn't like this and we continued to argue until the next school day where we got all of us who worked at the grocery store involved for the next few weeks those who sided with the vertical bagging scheme and the horizontal bagging mechanism either argued or straight up ignored each other we never came to an agreement and still fight over it any time it is brought up vertical bagging scheme and the horizontal bagging mechanism if i didn't know what side you were on this would make it so plain my college roommate and i didn't speak for three weeks because of an argument regarding toilet paper role placement it started off as a discussion then an argument then to the point where he called my sister a w and i broke his wrist over it goes over all i can imagine in this argument over under over under over your sister's a w snaps wrist my friend and i got into an argument over whether chocolate would kill my dog of course i was arguing that it would and he was arguing it wouldn't eventually he went home and i went to bed woke up to my dog vomiting violently under the bed i could smell chocolate that bastard i rushed my dog to the vet and he needed to know how much chocolate my dog may have ingested i called my friend but he denied feeding my dog any he had 80 dark chocolate when he was over my other friend was in the car with him when i called he turned to her after hanging up the phone and said i might have fed him a couple of squares to prove my point my dog ended up in intensive care of the vet for days on an iv and carefully watched he pulled through the vet said throwing up undoubtedly saved his life the stupid argument that almost cost my dog his life needless to say i am no longer friends with that butthole i had a very lengthy debate about whether or not you get receipts with abortions neither of us were in any form of relationship or pregnancy scare and both of us were men and i'm breaking up with you april fool's joke led to the real thing glad it did long version senior year in high school he was a recent graduate we had dated long before this and broke up for different reasons fast forward one year later we confess our feelings for each other blah blah blah well we're together for maybe about four months but we had been fighting over silly things and weren't speaking he then texted texted me one morning before my first period class went as follows if i recall correctly him gypsy that remains we need to talk me sure him this isn't working me what isn't him us at this point i know it's an april fool's joke so i go along with it me oh well if that's how you feel him yeah sorry it didn't work out the way we wanted it to me yemi too after about two hours i sent him a text saying i'm kind of waiting for you to say april fools but if you're not going to let me know before i start to get used to this he very plainly responds i guess i chose the wrong day to do it well crap i start telling myself all the reasons why i was better off without him he was kind of a deadbeat cheated on me the last time we dated did see on weekends he was almost two years older than me and had a crappy job and had no plans to go to college he would have only served as deadweight god that mean he missed several college placement tests due to a hangover nice guy but he was kind of patriarchal in a way never let me pay for my own meals or buy my own things and was very insecure talked about how we would get married one day and i would be a stay-at-home mom i started to realize my feelings for him were only there because i thought since we somehow drifted back together after a year apart made it true love truth was i only wanted him because i couldn't have him and now that i had him it just wasn't right 30 minutes go by and he sends me is it too late to say april fools yes we end up meeting up after school and at this point it was me cutting it off i was planning to go off to college eight hours away and i knew he didn't trust me and i knew the relationship just wouldn't survive he says he understands but still tries to salvage it i say no i'm sorry it's not working he's a bigger mess than i am again nice guy but just wasn't for me i hope he finds someone if he hasn't already tl dr april fool's joke leads to epiphany i once barricaded myself in the bathroom with my then girlfriend screaming at me and trying to break down the door over who got to cook potatoes that night this guy who just got fired at my work the argument was over quality of the work we do he had for months been making stupid mistakes that basically boiled all down to a single root cause he didn't care he didn't care about what he was doing he was there just to punch a clock maybe that's good enough if you just want to work at a walmart or something but we make structural steel and buildings like the office building you're sitting in right now or that bridge you drove over to get there so you can imagine there needs to be a certain level of care and quality in what you do anyway i'd found some more of these mistakes part of my job is to find issues before they become expensive problems and showed the guy so we can fix them i try to be real nice about it i try not to make him feel stupid but he gives me this huge attitude and tells me not to check his work i tell him it's my job and quality is everyone's business here we are a small shop our clients give us repeat business because we output quality parts he's almost 50 years old he hasn't held a job longer than two years in his entire adult life how am i the one who's got to have this conversation with him how has he made it this far he spent the next two hours of the day trying to bad-mouth me to the other guys in the shop someone complained to the general manager who promptly fired the guy someone complained to the general manager who promptly fired the guy well as someone who drives over bridges and enters office buildings thank you i was having a conversation with my girlfriend at the time about freak occurrences and odd things that happen she said at some point that and i quote uncommon occurrences happen all the time they happen just as often as common occurrences i tried explaining by their very definition they can't i tried explaining it nicely but she just didn't or wouldn't understand and even after i tried to let it go she kept bringing it up getting angrier and angrier accusing me of not seeing her side the argument lasted a two-hour car ride when i was around 14 i got in not an argument with classmate about whether or not the sun was burning i said it was not because the definition of burning is a reaction with oxygen nuclear fusion is not i could not convince him his anger increased until he almost became violent but i could not let this go some teacher overheard this argument and it sent us to the physics teacher to solve the issue when my daughter was three we were driving home together from the park and led zeppelin stairway to heaven came on the radio she told me to change the station it was a bad song and i told her no it's the best song ever you should listen to it she then proceeded to tell me i hate this song i was like your three this is the best song ever you don't know anything about it oh my god i'm arguing with a three-year-old we got home and she took a nap she's only three and has already heard it too many times if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then
