Boudicca 702 Posted February 28, 2018 Mine is quite tame. Pre-internet, it eventually escalated to a door-slamming tear-stained meltdown because the person I was speaking to refused to believe that Lemmy was in The Damned*. On another forum someone's husband became a seething mess because it was pointed out that it was "unlikely" he had ovarian cancer What's yours DLers? ** Saying Lemmy was never in The Damned is an IP bannable offence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted February 28, 2018 I can remember having a completely pointless argument with a sport-obsessed friend about the semantics of whether Jason Robinson was a shit rugby player or not. All hinging on the word shit and whether anyone could really technically be described as such. I fear that the argument lasted at least an hour. You know it's gone on too long when the onlookers, originally entertained or intrigued by such a bloody stupid debate move on for fear of being used as argument-fodder, "What do you reckon, Dave? Can any player, let alone one that played international rugby really be described as shit?" "LEAVE ME OUT OF IT" exclaims Dave running into the night, hurtling into the oncoming traffic of the nearby arterial route just to avoid becoming an active participant. Oh, happy day. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boudicca 702 Posted February 28, 2018 Angry storming away is usually good if you have a car or there is shelter about. I stupidly did it in rural Scotland once then thought "I could actually die from exposure before Mr B wakes up and realises I've gone" so slinked back and apologised profusely instead. Worked out fine iirc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted February 28, 2018 Arguing with people ( usually ex Facebook friends) telling them they will not win a brand new 4x4 (or any other luxury vehicle) by simply liking and sharing their post. Dumbest cuntos on the planet. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,599 Posted February 28, 2018 This took place back in the dim & distant past, when pubs closed at 10:30 and the only place for an after-hours drink was the local Indian. Already in a state of intoxication a friend and I decided more beer was needed, so off we went to do just that. While we were waiting for our order an argument developed over whether I was wrong (his contention) or merely mistaken (my contention) - about what , I can't remember. This naturally lead to a further argument about whether there was any difference between being 'wrong' and being 'mistaken'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSWDeathlistfan1996 27 Posted February 28, 2018 A lot of my pointless arguments are when myself and the other person are saying THE EXACT SAME THING but they refuse for whatever the reason to notice that fact that we are agreeing just because I am stating it differently *shakes head* people sometimes...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boudicca 702 Posted February 28, 2018 YES!!! The number of times I text "I am actually agreeing with you!" Just remembered a pointless argument about the colour of a carpet. It was serious enough to almost cause a car crash. Wtf? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theoldlady 2,300 Posted February 28, 2018 Once worked with two men who ended up being pre-school teachers. Their argument was about: Whose college major was best? Philosophy or Psychology? (Better than women`s and gender studies though. ) After the argument they didn`t speak to each other for weeks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted February 28, 2018 I've started tooooooo many out of sheer pigheadedness/badness , this is one thread I'll stay out of. Not. * this week alone with work folk **** noising up an ex squaddie who was at Scot/Eng rugby, came back on Monday all happy till I ripped him for signing allegiance to the English Queen so therefore he wasn't entitled to support Scotland and should verilly go and fuck himself. Wasn't amused,,,,, shame. **** young fla phoned in sick, turned up next day and I pointed out every other cunt there paid for his hangover as sick day was Family Credit Day or whatever they call it now. **** engendered a convo between 3 young flas as to which was a mong, a retard or lesserly a moron. Wandered away hands in pockets, whistling, as they voted on each other. **** threw a 1lb coalie (saithe) at the head of a young shaver when he not looking whilst I very busy and unlikely to be culprit. Hit him full on, so 20 secs afore he looked up. I pointed out someone else and bad blood the rest of the day, punches exchanged <proud of that one>. Fuck, 'every' argument is pointless, doesn't mean its not fun starting them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boudicca 702 Posted March 1, 2018 You are a very bad man. Difficult. Dangerous When I get reports about you I actually cover my eyes when I read them. Then I ignore them obviously. I have to say though that one of them was the most hilarious extremely well-written rant I've ever seen so well done for inspiring that 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadsox 894 Posted March 9, 2018 My wife and I occasionally indulge in color arguments. Most recently we were giving directions for a furniture delivery and when asked the color of our house I said "brown" while she said "gray". We both looked at each other with "what's wrong with you" expressions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
