The nothing fight.
What is jelly? I don't even like jelly. I don't even care.
Can we please talk about nothing fights?
Last night J went to bed pissed at me for throwing out week old half empty waterbottles that may or may not have even been his since they were from a paintball trip he took with the guys last weekend.
His reasoning? They weren't wasting space in the fridge. My reasoning? They're old, gross and if you wanted them, why not drink them instead of wasting our other bottled water & glasses! I absolutely do not understand men.
Anyone else? Humor me, and make my story feel less ridiculous

Re: The nothing fight.
Tom told me he wasn't going to vacuum because 4 days before I told him I would probably make him brownies. Not fancy bake from scratch brownies, but regular old brownies from the box.
You know, the ones with the directions so simple a 5 year old could do it. Yeah, those. Yet I had to make these brownies, not him. And he wondered why I had no interest in making the damn brownies after cleaning and doing mountainous piles of homework.
Feel less ridiculous?

Hahahahahaha! Whenever H annoys me, I say "I don't even like jelly. Just thinking about jelly gives me hives." In turn, he makes fun of me when I eat jelly out of the packets when we go to a diner. "I thought you didn't even like jelly!" "Yeah, well. I'm a lying liar who lies."
Other things that get throw out randomly:
"Your shoes do not define you!"
"Why not me?!?!?!?"
"My father is a brilliant man!"
"My CDs are in your car!"
Anyway, we have nothing fights, usually started by me. Mostly because he eats my food. I'm a bit OCD. I ration my package of cookies so they'll last me a week. When he eats even one or two of them, it messes my whole system up and I get ANGRY. I know it's stupid . . . but now I buy two packages of cookies and label them "Queen" and "H" and when he has no cookies at the end of the week, I don't let him eat mine. I kind of like nothing fights because we don't argue about real things and every so often, I need a good fight. Oh, a great recent one, I was trying to figure out how to beat a boss on Super Mario Galaxy and he did not google fast enough and I died. Big fight. Very loud. Very quickly forgotten. Definitely just needed to yell.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
Why did you change the title??? I love that sketch!
Oh, I see you moved it to the text. Okay.
I feel you about the nothing fights. We often fight about the fact that Jeff will put trash ON TOP of the trash can rather than in it. He says it's full, and when I open it, there's like two napkins in it but they're caught near the top - he refuses to push down the garbage at. all. Urgh.
Haha, so do I - I juts felt like non-Dane Cooker-ers wouldn't click and think "wtf is she talking about?"
I'm guilty of doing what Jeff does, only I do it with the recyclables since I never breakdown the boxes/bottles/plastic and it seems "full", haha.

i cant think of anything off the top of my (over-tired) head but yes, we fight about nothing all.the.time.
one thing we fight about a lot is "i said that already.."
"no you didnt, i would have remembered that"
"are you kidding? we had a full discussion about this last week."
"i think you are lying."
and it is either one of us saying either line (although I KNOW that i do discuss things with gerren and he forgets, i have proven it time after time. i think he is wrong and he THINKS he discusses things with me, but he doesnt
)

K throws his laundry on top of the hamper (it has a lid) rather than in it. Even when it's all-but empty. Fjklds;fjklfhryh.
I was straightening up the kitchen on Saturday morning when K decided that it was time for the drop ceiling to come down. I had just swept all the mess up and realized I was out of swiffer solution, ran to the store to get it quick (gone less than 10 min, and yes, he saw me sweep and even held the dustpan since I can't bend over anymore) and by the time I got back he was prying the trim off the kitchen door. Strike one.
I made him stop and then had to re-sweep the kitchen so I could mop. Then he broke down the remaining ceiling tiles that were to be trashed in the clean kitchen. Strike two.
When I finally got all that cleaned up AGAIN, I finished loading the dishwasher and the top drawer broke. I couldn't fix it so I asked him to take a look and he starts getting frustrated and tossing all the dishes on that shelf (plastic, at least) all over the counter - so all the crap on them gets all over the clean floor. Strike three.
He snapped at me because he couldn't understand what I was getting all upset about and I burst into tears and locked myself in the bedroom. I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant...I can get upset over anything I damn well please!!!
H ALWAYS has a small pile of his clothes from the day on the floor next to his side of the bed. He literally goes up there when he gets home from work, lets the clothes fall on the floor where he's standing and changes into workout clothes or sweatpants or something.
I bug him ALL the time to pick them up, nothing gets through to him. The other day he says, "I pick the pile of clothes up in the morning when I go to the closet to get dressed. That way I don't have to make an extra trip." Lazy much? LOL. So, you mean you pick up the clothes in the morning, get dressed, and start a new pile when you get home from work every night, meaning the only time the floor is actually clear is when I'm gone at work all day and can't even see it? How does that make sense? Yup, ridiculous.
Geez we have these all the time.
"Toilet seat goes DOWN!"
"Get your own towel...stop using mine!"
Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment but I know we have more.
Shauni, I think we are the same couple. This is us all the time. Or DH will tell me something and I would have told him the same thing the week before and then this starts.
Our household has been pissy all weekend, ugh. I think it has to do with our beloved Marquette losing to UNC on Friday night
. It sucks absolutely everything and anything is making me crabby even though I am really trying to be patient and nice. Serenity now!
This is the reason why I've basically given up on his half of the bedroom, as J is jut as lazy too. As long as it stays on his half, I don't care. If he prefers walking through a sh!thole to get into bed or to his dresser, that's his problem.

Ummm, dittto that. This happens all.the.time in our house. Sometimes Jeff finally admits that he 'may not have been paying attention' (happens a lot) but sometimes he is adamant that I am making it up and taking advantage of the fact that it really does happen. Usually he takes that tactic when it's something that's gotten him/us in trouble.
THIS. This grosses me out beyond words. And he just doesn't get it.
I feel you. MFD regularly trash picks my purging periods. It makes me want to call Hoarders on his a$$ even though he doesn't nearly qualify.
