People can develop obsessions over the strangest things, but how you prepare your drinking water has got to be one of the strangest of them all… This couple has developed an extremely complicated process for preparing their drinking water, ensuring it's just the right conditions and temperature. What is it with the recent marriage drama over really strange things?

As this bizarre ritual has slowly devolved, the molehill of "water preparation" has grown into a volcano that is threatening to burst and tear this couple's relationship asunder.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit, where it has been received with utter bewilderment by readers. Normally AITA commenters would vote on whether or not one of the parties is "The A-Hole" or not by noting what their feeling was in the comments. Instead, commenters found themselves unable to do so because the process described in preparing the water was too bizarre to comprehend.

The user who posted the thread, u/WarmWaterTA, has since expanded upon the context given and added more context to the post. Not all of it is entirely helpful.

So who is in the wrong for this warm water kerfuffle? You decide.
