Having different personalities, beliefs, and traits, it’s normal for people in healthy relationships to fight and argue every now and then. Such arguments enable them to get to know each other better and to accept one’s flaws more. Arguments also allow couples to find multiple ways to fix their differences and problems.
However, not everything is worth fighting over. Some issues are better left alone. If couples concentrate on petty issues, they are just going to end up with more problems.
As an example, here’s a list of 60 really ridiculous things couples fight about.
1. Ask first.
If someone took the time to record something, it’s only right to ask first before you delete anything on the DVR. It’s rude not to.
2. The door or the couch?
The couch was probably more comfortable than the bed. He didn’t even feel the threat there.
3. Taking turns
When there’s no compromise in a relationship, questions like these will surely pop up every single day. And even though they seem like petty arguments, they can ruin relationships in the long run.
4. The last slice
If you are a gentleman, I guess it’s only right to let your girl get the last slice of pizza. If you are a reasonable person, I’d say let whoever is still hungry get the last bite.
5. Keeping track
People generally prepare coffee or tea first thing in the morning. If a couple goes through this argument that early in the day, I can only imagine the long list of arguments they are bound to have for the rest of the day. Just take turns or get a smart coffee maker- problem solved.
6. Where to eat?
Isn’t it frustrating when a partner asks where to eat and the other responds with a dozen of choices and they still couldn’t agree on one? Well, we’ve all been there.
7. The battle with the remote
This doesn’t just happen with couples. Families go through it, too. Siblings fight the most about it.
8. That fight
If a show that’s good, I’d say it’s worth getting into a fight over. Of course, if you can get away with watching it first, that would be better.
9. Who gets who?
This is something you’d find kids fighting about. I can’t really blame them. We all want to play the main character every now and then.
10. The leftovers
The fridge isn’t the best hiding spot. If you don’t want anyone taking your food, it’s best to use labels.
11. The last one out
Doing it together is probably faster. Since that’s not always possible, a more realistic solution is to let the last person to get out make the bed.
12. The right temperature
When one gets cold easily while the other one gets sweaty fast, finding the right temperature you can both tolerate is hard. Consider yourself lucky if you don’t have to deal with this problem.
13. The music in the car
This one’s easy. The driver picks the music since he’s driving. If you’re with a considerate partner, this shouldn’t really be an issue.
14. The problem that goes with building IKEA furniture
IKEA solves a lot of problems, particularly when it comes to furniture and storage issues. Along the way, however, breakups and divorce can happen. It’s important to settle this kind of issues before building anything.

15. Bringing up the past
Some people have great memories. And usually, these same people have that unique skill of turning past issues into present arguments.
16. Who slept well
This is a common argument among parents, particularly those who’ve just had a baby. They argue like it’s a competition.
17. The cat’s favorite
If you clean the litter box more often, it doesn’t guarantee that your cat won’t betray you. Cats are great in messing up with people.
18. Why you won’t listen
If only she can talk more clearly, you’d be able to understand her better. You’d be able to respond more appropriately, too.
19. About the loud snoring
Snoring is hard to deal with. The fact that your partner denies snoring loudly at night makes it even more difficult to deal with.
20. Pineapple on pizza
This is an issue not only couples deal with. A lot of people don’t find pineapple on pizza acceptable.
21. The way to pronounce GIF
Even with the actual maker of GIF clarifying how it’s properly pronounced, a lot of people are still saying it incorrectly. It’s either they are not aware or they’re just being stubborn.
22. The dog’s favorite
Dogs are loyal. Finding that your dog likes you better than your partner earns you extra bragging rights. I couldn’t blame this person from arguing with his partner about that.
23. What to watch
Arguing takes a lot of your energy. If you’re going to argue, make sure it’s not over Netflix. Otherwise, you’ll end up sleeping even before a show has started.
24. Hot flashes
Hot flashes are related to menopause most of the time. If you don’t want to end up in a serious fight, I suggest you refrain from using that word.
25. About looking fat
This is a trick question. Say the truth and you’ll end up in a fight. Say a lie and you’ll end up with the same thing.
26. The one who did more work
Being tired after doing something implies that you did more work. And when you did more work, you’re entitled to some form of reward. I guess it’s the prize you’ll get if you win this argument.
27. Who’s turning off the light
At times like this, apps and phones can be pretty practical. Save yourself from stress and get smart lights ASAP.
28. What dish to eat
I might end up forgetting my hunger if I have to deal with this before I get to eat. I’d rather not eat than stress myself.
29. Dreams
Dreams don’t really get you in trouble. It’s the things you say and do in your sleep and while you’re dreaming that cause problems.
30. This question
If you’ve found an answer to this question, congratulations. I sincerely hope you share it with the rest of us.
31. Sharing toothbrushes
When you’re so used to living together, you eventually forget whose toothbrush you are using. It might sound gross, but it happens.
32. Walking the cat
They say that owning pets will encourage you to be more active. However, if you and your partner are naturally lazy and don’t like going outdoors, this argument will surely be a regular thing.
33. How to use the dishwasher
She’s right about the purpose of owning a dishwasher. However, if you are concerned about clogging your appliance, you’d relate to the guy.
34. Flirting on social media
I don’t think this is a stupid thing to fight about. When your partner is flirting on social media, consider it a red flag.
35. Where he sleeps
A man deserves his own space. If he chooses to sleep on the sofa, let him be. It’s not an issue worth fighting about.
36. Money issues
Couples should be working hard to earn money for financial security. It shouldn’t be the reason why they break apart.
37. The toilet seat
In this argument, men are usually the ones to blame. They generally find the task quite tiring.
38. Liking others’ photos
When a woman asks you this question, she’s not really asking you why. Consider it more like a warning.
39. Making adjustments in the car
Well, if you are going to drive your partner’s car, it’s only right that you adjust the seat and the mirrors according to your preference. It’s a safety issue.
40. Tuna fish cans on the counter
Those cans don’t smell nice but they’re not enough to ask for a divorce. The husband probably used it to get away from their marriage.
41. Being late
Being 5 to 10 minutes late is fine as long as it doesn’t happen all the time. If you’re always late, that’s a totally different story.
42. Falling asleep all the time
There could be a dozen reasons why your partner is always falling asleep. He could be tired because of work or he didn’t have enough sleep because he was studying. It’s also possible that he has a sleep disorder.
43. The last piece of chicken
This is just like the last slice of pizza. If you’re not that hungry, just let the other person have the last piece.
44. Snoring and pinching noses
Getting annoyed by your partner snoring loudly is normal. Pinching his nose shut, however, isn’t. It’s the same as intentionally killing the man.
45. How to replace tissue rolls
For couples, it’s not enough that one replaces the tissue roll. The way you place the tissue is also important.
46. The number of potatoes
This woman was probably just thinking about herself and her partner. For the one who’s cooking, however, buying only 2 potatoes for the dish was absurd.
47. Anything but the one you picked
This is probably an indirect way of saying you don’t have a good taste in movies. If I were in this person’s place, I’d probably just let the other person pick.
48. Temperature
It’s hard to find that sweet spot when someone’s always cold and hot at home. It’s an argument that no one will win.
49. You or the dog?
Dogs are certainly a part of the family. They totally deserve the right side of the bed.
50. When they say they don’t want anything
If your partner says she doesn’t want anything, don’t believe her. Buy extra fries or you’ll end up sharing yours with her.
51. About killing spiders
Spiders have lives. They shouldn’t be killed, particularly if they aren’t trying to harm you.
52. Directions
If you don’t know how to read the map, don’t bother arguing about directions. It’s just a waste or energy, time, and gas.
53. Eggs
Why would someone return the shells like that? That’s just plain rude.
54. Short cut
Couples who argue about shortcuts don’t always end up with a good story. They are likely to spend the rest of the trip back home blaming each other.
55. The thermostat
Keeping the right temperature at home is a big issue for a lot of couples. The number of people complaining about it in this list proves that.
56. Before or after?
There’s really no right or wrong answer to this. It simply depends on who is making the drink.
57. The number of fights
Fighting over how many times you’ve argued with each other isn’t smart. I don’t think it’s even worth fighting about.
58. Who does what?
Driving all the way to the grocery store to buy what the family needs is tiring. However, if you compare it with looking after the kids, you’d probably pick the grocery store in a heartbeat.
59. TV show
Couples end up fighting over things that require choosing something. The TV is clearly not an exception.
60. When you’re a short person
There’s a reason why shelves come in layers. Unfortunately for this person, her partner seems unaware of that.
