30 Passionate But Pointless Arguments

It's happened to all of us. A family member, friend, or co-worker says something wrong, so you point out their error. But they are convinced you are the one who is wrong. We should just let it go at that point, but every once in a while, the argument escalates into something the two of you think is important, when it's not important at all. It's just dumb.

I can relate with the third one, as any couple would. My wife just misunderstands my point on a certain topic (such as politics or religion) and just wails away with her half-baked thoughts. Being the arumentative type, I just counter her with my own stubborn ways. But we always just stop arguing cause we know it was pointless to begin with.

Then we have intense make-up nookie.
