15 People Confess to the Dumbest Argument They’ve Ever Had

Ever had an argument and think somewhere in the middle of it that you can’t believe you’ve wasted even that much time fussing about something so dumb? I’m sure you have.

That said, these 15 people might have you beat.

#15. Apparently.

“My ex girlfriend and I got into a pretty heated argument about where the bed sheets should be stored. Personally I just thought that her putting them down with the canned foods in the kitchen didn’t seem to make as much sense as putting them with the curtains and towels in the bathroom. But apparently that makes me an idiot.”

#14. My own opinion

“That Vatican City wasn’t a country after multiple google searches, the whole class agreeing that it was and even a geography teacher telling him it was

His response?

‘I still don’t think it is because I can have my own opinion.’”

#13. 30 minutes gone forever.

“I had a 30 minute argument with a roommate once because he didn’t believe a canoe was a boat.”

#12. No more arguing.

“Someone I work with said if they cant see drops of water on/coming from something then it isn’t wet. I got a damp cloth and asked if it was wet. “No, there isn’t any drops coming from it.” So I wrung it out and got more water out of it. They didnt want to argue anymore.”

#11. Ha ha.

I tried to tell my little brother that it was spelled “sword” not “sored.” I even broke out the Websters Unabridged to prove it to him. His reaction? “Ha ha, your dictionary spelled it wrong.”

#10. An appropriate ending.

“I got an argument when I was around 8 that some ants have wings and some don’t. That was the whole argument. This kid absolutely refused to believe that some ants have wings.

It ended with him headbutting me.”

#9. So say we all.

“My mother has argued with me over if we are currently arguing.”

#8. I made it up.

“Whether or not Timbuktu is a real place. My kids insist I made it up. I’ve shown them maps and websites to prove its real but they still think I made it up.”

#7. I know I’m right.

“A girl tried to convince me that hiccups are caused by the gallbladder. Her argument points:

Then why do people with no gallbladder, never get hiccups?
Why can you google gallbladder hiccups and get results
Can you explain exactly how hiccups and gallbladders work? No? Then that means I’m right
Can I explain either of those? No, but I know I’m right.”

#6. The water cycle.

“that filtering water is unnecessary and dumping all our waste into the rivers is fine because “the water cycle takes care of it”

#5. Actually…

“Someone tried to convince me that they could run a mile in 3 minutes. After I called her out saying the fastest was 3 minutes and 43 seconds she then argued that the fastest mile was actually 1 minute .”

#4. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.

“around fourth grade I was at lunch, and I SAW my friend take my butterfinger out of my lunchbox and she spent the entire 20 minutes trying to convince me it was hers.”

#3. Not a pickle.

“I was eating a pickle at lunch, in high school. I referred to my pickle for some reason in the conversation. My friend said, “That’s not a pickle.”

It was a pickle. A normal, big crunchy dill pickle. It looked exactly like the pickle you’re picturing right now.

I asked her what she thought it was, and she said it was a cucumber. I said that she was right, but that it was also a pickle. She disagreed. I asked her what she thought a pickle was, then, if not the thing in my hand. She couldn’t answer.

It was the weirdest argument ever.”

#2. That’s why you need a juicer.

“My brother’s then girlfriend argued with me that almond milk isn’t a thing. I’d seen a commercial for Jack Lalane’s juicer and I mentioned how you can apparently make almond milk with it. Our conversation went like this:

If you squeezed an almond would any milk come out?

Well no. That’s why you need the juicer.

It doesn’t work like that.

But if almond milk doesn’t exist, what are all these things at the grocery store pruporting to be almond milk?

That’s almond flavoured milk.

How come it’s labelled as vegan?

That’s almond flavoured soy milk!

If you squeezed a soy bean would any milk come out?

[shrieks]”

#1. Never argue with a preschooler.

“My daughter once argued with my ex about whether or not ducks have butts. She was 4.”

#3. The party.

Eric and George are arguing over a girl named Blaire at a party. She hasn’t responded to either of their plays with interest, but then makes up a game in which the winner gets to take her on a date.

The rules:

The guys sit at a round table.
They have a cache of coins that should be used to cover the table, but they cannot intersect or hang over the edges.
The first player has an advantage if he places his coin correctly.
The game is over when the table is covered and the winner is the person who plays last.

George is confident and allows Eric to play first – but what should his strategy be in placing the first coin?

12 Purchases That Could Save You Money in the Long Run

Sometimes we’re so intent on saving money in the now that we don’t think about how purchases could help us out down the road – a return on investment, so to speak. It’s important to think about how long a product will be useful or how often you’ll be able to utilize it when you’re deciding what and how to shell out the big bucks now.

And as always, we live to serve.

#12. DIY carpet shampoo.

You can shell out the big bucks a couple of times a year for a professional cleaning or you can take a few hours of your own time and do it yourself just as well.

#11. Reusable straws (and brushes).

Photo Credit: Amazon

Sure, they’re $15 but they last forever (in theory) and with more and more places banning plastic waste, are sure to come in handy.

#10. A five-ingredient cookbook.

Photo Credit: Amazon

It was made for poor college student, but seeing as many of us are living poor for years and years after college, it can definitely be a good investment for decades to come – all for less than $15.

#9. Reusable mesh produce bag.

Save yourself time and the hassle of pulling those dumb plastic bags at the grocery store AND help out the planet in the process with these reusable produce bags from Urban Outfitters.

#8. Handy-dandy grocery list.

Photo Credit: Amazon

It’s bound to save you time on return trips to the store, and time is money, after all!

#7. A good curling iron.

Photo Credit: Amazon

This beauty is guaranteed to save you countless trips to the salon or the dry bar, and give you loose, beachy waves for years to come. A no-brainer.

#6. Snack holders for kids.

Photo Credit: Amazon

You’ll save on baggies AND keep your floors and car (marginally) cleaner.

#5. Bug repellent that actually works.

Photo Credit: Amazon

No promises on whether it will or will not make you grow an extra spleen, but it will keep the mosquitoes away.

#4. This sponge stand.

Photo Credit: Amazon

It sounds weird and like a specialty item you don’t really need in your life, but consider this: your sponges will last so much longer if they’re allowed to air out and really dry between uses.

#3. Multi-use clear plastic tote bag.

Photo Credit: Amazon

This is great for people who spend time going to football, baseball, or soccer games where only clear bags are allowed – but it also works great for trips to the pool or beach.

#2. A disposable flask.

Photo Credit: Urban Outfitters

You can sneak in some booze and save yourself like half a million dollars at any given event, and if you get busted, you’re only out a few bucks.

#1. Nice gardening gloves.

Photo Credit: Amazon

Would you rather pay more for quality gloves once or replace them every season and watch your bill tally up? I know the right answer!

6 Tips on How to Have a Productive Conversation About Money with Your Significant Other

Talking about money can be hard, even for people in relationships without communication issues. That said, it has to be done – disagreeing or not being on the same page about finances is listed as one of the main sources of contention for most couples, and no one wants that.

So, in the spirit of healthy relationships, here are 6 tips on having “the talk” with your significant other and getting something great out of it in the process.

#6. Insurance should be part of the talk, too.

It might sound boring, but life insurance, health insurance, car insurance, etc are other things that should be discussed (and combined if it makes financial sense). It can provide peace of mind and go a long way toward making you feel better about financial security.

#5. Timing is everything.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Don’t wait too long into your relationship to chat about money – the sooner you do it, the easier it will be to focus on what you want to accomplish together as you grow as a couple. Whenever you do it, though, make sure you have enough time. It’s not something you want to rush.

#4. Debt can’t be a secret.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

If you’re the one who has large student loans or credit card debt, talking about it can be embarrassing. That said, your partner deserves to know what they’re getting into, especially if you plan on joining bank accounts or on tax returns. You can bring a financial advisor into the discussion if you think it might be easier to have a third party’s ideas on the best way for you to resolve debt and move forward as a couple.

#3. Make sure you’ve got the meat covered before you move on to dessert.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

You’ll want to talk about income, expenses, and lifestyle expectations (including children, if that topic applies) in order to understand how much your significant other makes, spends, and saves. Once you’ve got that down, it will be easier to talk about joining budgets or when you’re okay with splurging.

#2. The pros and cons of combining finances.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to deciding whether to keep things separate or to combine them, but if you are considering the latter, you’ll want to think through what that means. You’ll need to be open and honest about expenditures – especially large ones – before they happen. On the plus side, it can be good for communication and understanding what your partner considers an acceptable “splurge.”

#1. Keep an eye on the future.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Remember that the end game of all of these tough conversations is to build a foundation for the two of you going forward. Decide whether to combine finances, whether one or both of you are going to handle the day-to-day spending and bill paying, etc.

Twitter Thread Gives Us One More Reason to Love Star Wars Director Rian Johnson

Love or hate The Last Jedi, few can argue with the fact that director Rian Johnson has a unique vision and the ability to bring a fresh take on the science fiction genre to the screen. Which, if you love the genre, you have to appreciate – even if the end product is sometimes not for you.

Even better, it turns out that he is also a genuinely nice person who goes out of his way to treat strangers like human beings, so…bonus!

Check out this Twitter thread from Kumail Nanjiani, who encountered Johnson on a Comic Con red carpet the same day he realized how hard red carpet interviews are (totally true) and had already had a rough go.

Here’s what happened.
