Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

My fiance has to leave for work about half an hour before I do, so I like to snooze while she is in the shower etc, and then get up as she leaves the house. So she comes in straight after her shower, and is looking for the car keys because she needs to get something out of the car. I tell her they are either in my work bag next to the bed, or upstairs (we live in a house with three others). She skims through my bag, doesn't find them, and the tells me to go upstairs and get them for her because she doesn't want to walk around the house in a towel (no pics, so dont bother asking). I tell her to put on a dressing gown and get them herself, and roll over to enjoy the last 15 mins of snoozing before the real day starts.

Somehow, this sparks her off, and she lets rip with a rant so filled with rage and anger that I am just left speechless. Seriously, this is how I would expect her to react if she found out that I had killed her mother, skinned her, and then used the skin to commit some sort of heinous crime that her mother was now getting blamed for. During her diatribe she accuses me, amongst other things, of being the laziest, most selfish, cheapest, nastiest, inconsiderate, immature, dishonest and messiest person in the world. Basically, she called me everything under the sun other than a war criminal, which I'm sure she would have gotten to if she hadn't have knocked over my work bag causing the car keys to spill out. Before I even get a chance to laugh, she bursts into tears and goes storming out of the room and locks herself in the bathroom.

Anyways, 5 minutes later she comes out and apologises and blames her "edginess" on something at work, or her family, I dont know I wasn't really listening anyway.

Now this is maybe the second or third time she has done a "2+2 wannabe's girlfriend" on me (whatever happended to the end of that trip report?), so its not a big deal. I'm just wondering if any OOTiots out there have similar stories to this one where their significant other WAY WAY WAY overreacts, and embarasses everyone withing a 200m radius in the process...

No way in hell she would have a chance to do it a 2nd time, if it were me in this situation.

You got to love you being a lazy ass and unhelpful and then having her end up blaming herself.

Well Done!

To be fair, the first two times were related to drunken-ass-clownery on my part, and I would probably be a lot more pissed about this if the keys hadn't spilled at such a comedically perfect time.

youre seriously pulling yourself out of bed, during the best time to roll back over and sleep a little longer, because your girlfriend, who is already showered, and can get dressed then go look for the keys, or can just go freakin look with a towel on, is making you?

prolly not, I've only seen dumb and dumber once so I dont remember it. Just seemed like something most [censored] guys would say and actually mean, so your higher level jedi sarcasm pwned me.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Standard.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Just saying that its standard doesnt fill my workday afternoon. Stories, I need stories, and the more ridiculous the better.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

me and my g/f were travelling to the lake to do some camping and turned on talk radio cause FM wouldn't work

the topic was about some school nearby not letting someone go to the washroom during class and people being furious about it

of course, through listening to the parents and administrators, it was clear that the reason this 15 year old girl wasn't allowed to go to the washroom was due to repeated abuse of the system

it was also clear that, before the 40 minute class, all kids were given ample opportunity to use the facilities

so my g/f starts ranting and raving about how it's so unfair that the teacher wouldn't let this girl go to the washroom. "her period could start immediately and she would bleed all over her pants and be so embarassed"

smartly, I just let her rant and rave without bringing forth my opinion (that the girl is retarded and doesn't deserve to go). obviously if she had a drastic personal issue she could just leave the room - the teacher wouldn't hold her captive in the room.

then she starts going on about how her teacher is a misogynist [censored] who was oppressing his female students, while a. not knowing if the teacher was male, b. assuming he did this because she was female, and c. not listening at all to the dialogue from everyone else, including the child's parents, who confirmed that she was abusing the system.

blah blah chow meow later and we're getting into a huge argument about gender roles and their impact on society. but it's not even an argument anymore - it's her calling me every name in the book and telling me how much she hates me and I'm just pretty much sitting there agreeing with 97% of what she's saying.

best start to a trip ever

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

we argued whether or not there is an "f" in the word "twelfth".

shes a blonde.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Pretty standard, women do this kind of crap all the time, you have to be able to put up with it if you want to survive in a long term relationship. Mine just freaked out on me in much the same way because when she was 20 minutes late picking me up from work, I walked down to get a burger from Wendy's and she had to wait for 10 minutes when she finally showed up.

They can be very retarded at times...

Correct. Lazy is not appropiate here. Unhelpful would be the correct word. Unfortunately, you as the man are supposed to do all the things for her that she doesn't want to do, despite the fact that you also have to do all things for yourself that you don't want to do.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

I'm starting to think more and more this kinda stuff is just standard. I used to question it a ton (and still do when it happens sometimes) - but I think most women do this kinda crap from time to time. It seems that guys who claim otherwise are probably young and almost definitely not married.

I think if we could be put into a woman's shoes we'd be shocked at how much hormones control their emotions (and therefore the rest of their lives). The same way that most women would be shocked to find out the full role that sex plays on the male mind.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Yeah, My wife sucks.

She went apeshit at me because I gave her a "special" disease that I didn't have when we first got together.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

me and my girlfriend were enjoying dinner. our waitress checks me out when she takes our order.. my girlfriend sing songs 'someone thinks you're cute' good naturedly. i say, 'everyone thinks i'm cute'. my girlfriend gives me an exagerated eye roll. we make small talk. the waitress comes back with our food. i smile at her. twenty minutes later, after an argument featuring clenched teeth and angry gesturing with a knife, my girlfriend tells me i'm the most conceited piece of [censored] on the planet and disappears into the night.

Here is the worst I've had. We were in Vegas and meet two of my friends in our hotel who had just flown in. Their hotel was on the other side of the strip so I gave them our key so they could freshen up and drop off their bags in our room and go play poker. My girlfriend and I had tickets to a show so we left them and got back a few hours later. I call them and they don't pick up and i leave a message. I tell her that they are probably at the table and they will be there with the key soon.

One of my friends calls 10 minutes later, apologizes, and says he is on his way to the room. We go up to the room, he is there within 2 minutes, apologizes to both of us, says he was in a big pot and couldn't pick up the phone or leave. I think its no big deal and he goes back to the game, I open the door and walk in and my girlfriend slams the door behind her. I am thinking WTF??? and turn around and she just starts yelling that I am an ass, all my friends are dicks ,that I should have got mad at my friend for making us wait that I am so irresponsible and that this is the worst that she has ever been treated blah blah blah. I tell her pretty calmly that she can get her own room and do her own stuff if I'm that bad, I thought it was pretty ridiculous since I payed for the whole trip and it was really MY room and she had to wait less than 15 min. She starts crying, and to this day I regret this, I APOLOGIZE!!!!! I was 21 and really stupid about chicks. So I completly swallowed my pride and in like 30 min everything is fine, but I think I died a little inside.

Sadly this happend a few more times and I broke up with her. Actually I think if i had just stood my ground a few times she would have stopped doing it and she was really great except for these random outburts. My friends called her the time bomb.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

damn it. i was gonna type a something funny, but theres no way i can follow a post like somebodys. well done.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

The first thing that popped into my mind...

I was camping with my gf, one other couple, and 2 other guy friends. I didn't want the 2 guys to feel awkward if we were all coupley and left them out, so I was trying to hang out with them alot. Of course, my girlfriend felt neglected cause well, girls need far too much attention. Fast forward to the evening. At some point, one of my friends pulls out a combat knife and it was pretty cool. So us, being guys, we start throwing it into a tree, and its actually pretty fun. My GF erupts saying that I'm "hurting the tree" and that I would rather play with a knife and tree than her...I tell her that she can take the place of the tree if she'd prefer. She then takes my car keys and drives away into the night, with no drivers license, no cell phone, and in complete darkness. I sat down, smoked a cigar, gave her hell when she got back, and then had angry make up sex in the tent.

Needless to say I broke up with her right after.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

I've thought about making a thread about this. It's not quite what the OP is looking for but a lot of arguments I get into with my wife get a million times worse because I laugh. There are a few reasons for this. Most of the time it's just because the situation is awkward. I don't actually think anything in is funny and it's just nervous laughter. Sometimes I think the situation itself is somewhat humurous in that what we're arguing about is absurd and meaningless. Other times I just think she's funny.

Almost every time she gets really upset and says I'm disrespectful and laughing in her face - that sort of thing. I'm not really sure what to do about it because I usually can't help it.

I may get some [censored] for posting this, but I can appreciate the Barenaked Ladies lyric:

How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Cant understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Get out now before the divorce.

Haha, this is my favorite so far. Getting mad because you are hurting the tree, that is just like a woman. And your response, classic.

this one is my favorite so far for being succinct, bizarro, and funny. I wish I had a story of hilarious verbal abuse to share.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Of course. Countless times.

A couple months ago her and I got in an argument in front of my brother and sister about our apartment rent. Our rent was $747 at the time, and she claimed that the same unit on the first floor (ours is 2nd floor) was over $1000 per month.

I laughed because I thought she was joking. She wasn't. I told her I knew for a fact that it was $767/mo. I'd seen the paper and I memorized the number, which isn't uncommon for me and she knows it.

Nope. She didn't care. She swore the first level cost 33% more b/c of the "convenience" of being on the first floor. Even my little brother and sister were laughing at this point.

She was pissed, and I was trying to logically explain it to her (why bother?), about supply/demand and that nobody in their right mind would pay over $200 extra per month for the "luxury" of having no privacy on the porch, and headlights in their windows.

She told me I was "f***ing retarded" (not uncommon) in front of my siblings. At that point I got mad and told her to apologize to my bro/sis for talking like that in front of them. She wouldn't.

The next day I brought the rent schedule in from the office. Yep, I was right. I showed her and she said "Oh. Well I thought it was more." I'm looking at her smiling waiting for my apology.

Women don't apologize. Especially only-childs. She just said "well I THOUGHT it was more." and walked away. As she walked away I told her to call my bro/sis and apologize and tell them she was wrong. I don't think we had sex that night.

This is just one story. We've been dating for 7 years and lived together (officially) this past year.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

So I took my now ex to San Francisco after freshman year in college (I am a junior now). Being a relatively poor student, this was no small thing, but I worked for Marriott and could get a nice hotel discount. I said I'd pay, and she was all "OMG no I'll cover my half." This went back and forth, and I got the sense she didn't want to be a mooching girlfriend, so I eventually said "fine, if you want you can pay for meals." I figured we'd be hitting up some nice places, so this was no small amount of money. In my head I still assumed I'd end up covering some of that as well.

During the trip we were getting along fine, and I ended up covering half of all the restaurant bills, basically as planned. At the time I assume this is what she wants, and the trip ends.

About two months later, in the midst of another argument (basically one about restaurant bills - I'm in the class that says after 2 years of dating splitting the occasional bill should not be unacceptable), she blows up about how she had to pay for her meals in San Fran. I almost shot myself in the face.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

you just gotta decide if the psycho girls are worth "it".

had one girl refuse to let me go to work because she was pissed and wanted to argue, she physically blocked the door to my room, so after 15 minutes i finally faked her out somehow and darted out my room, she comes charging after me and as im opening the front door she lowers her shoulder to stop me from slipping out and i just hold it and she flung her body into it and bounced off, so i walk out then she starts threatening that she has a bruise and was gonna call the cops and tell them i hit her......last time i messed with a psycho girl.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

Sometimes I feel dejected about not having a girlfriend in the last 3 years.

Thanks for making me feel better.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

This isn't so much an argument so much as a story about how psycho an ex of mine was. I was sitting around with her and a few of our mutual friends and one of them poured a glass of coke. Now this girl has an absolutely horrible distaste for soda. Anyway my friend asks if anyone wants a glass and I say sure. To this my girl friend says, no, he's all set. I say no, I'll take the glass and drink it. Later on in the night I'm walking her home (this was in college) and she looks at me and says why the hell did you drink that soda? I say why are you mad at me? I should be pissed at you. To which she goes, why should you be mad at me, I told you not to. Needless to say, things ended quickly after this. Girls are insane.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

She obviously wasn't going to go out to the car while still wearing the towel, so she might as well get dressed and go get the keys herself. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to resist pointing this out if the same situation happened to me, but that would've just made things worse.

Argh. Women.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

She once asked me if I wanted to start going to church with her every Sunday. Being a pretty worldly, unreligious kind of guy, I respectfully declined. She becomes kind of offended, and starts saying all of this crap like if I really cared about her I'd go with her, which really set me off cause I hate it when people use that kind of angle. We get into an argument, and she flatly tells me "well if anyone is giving in, it's you, because I'm not going to." I respond with something like "the more you persist, the better it feels to not go to church with you." She ultimately dropped it, and I never went to church with her. I felt like a man.

Re: Stupidest girlfriend/fiance/wife arguments?
 

I really wish I was gay.

That is all.
