Stupid is as stupid does
<Everyone has stupid arguments!
Here’s one stupid argument: A husband was sitting in front of his TV eating from a bag of LAYS potato chips when he 
pulled from the bag the biggest potato chip you’ve ever seen in your life. He starts holding it in the air, waving it around and bragging as if he had the made the chip himself. All is fine until his wife reached over and crunched his potato chip! He got mad and an argument followed.
Can each of you think of a stupid argument you’ve heard (maybe you were in it), and then answer the following questions.
- What made the argument stupid?
- Why do you think it became an argument?
- How could the argument have been avoided?
Here are more questions you may want to discuss, especially if you tend to argue alot:
- Are there certain conditions where we argue the most?
- Are there some “rules” we could establish for when and how we discuss differences?
- Do we believe that all disagreements must be resolved?
- What do we do if there is an unsolvable problem?
Would you like to submit a stupid argument in the comments section below?

one stupid argument would have to be where we were going to fold the laundry, at the laundrymat or at the apartment. I wanted to fold the laundry at home, she at the laundrymat. we couldn’t decide where, and an argument ensued. we had a hard time geting along for a good while, all due to a stupid arguement.

Yes i can, this one time our friends had called his phone to ask weather they could come over, he said yes and before i could answer he clicked the phone off. I didnt want anyone over that night, he did. I asked him why he kept insisting they come over he couldnt answer me but he just wanted to see his friend to i was aggrivated that he didnt want to take my feelings into consideration. We got into a whole argument over just this. They whole big thing here is he never told me they were only coming over for about 15 minutes and then leaving to another friends house.
I think it became an argument because i wanted him to just ask me first include me and for one time he didnt.
the argument could have been avoided by proper communication

Fortunately we do not argue very much. We have established an open line of communication throughout our relationship. And have tried to maintane that.
