No matter how in love they are, every couple has a few tiny disagreements that they'll never see eye to eye on. The most common one is how to load the dishwasher correctly, a task that almost no one can agree on. No matter how you do it, your way is the correct way, and your partner's way of doing it is imbecilic at best. Many a fight has been started over this, but there are plenty of other household things to squabble over. For example, do you or someone you know have a decorative bathroom towel that no one is allowed to use? If you do use this towel, you'll be in trouble! 

For this person, a fancy soap is causing a ruckus in their relationship. He and his wife seem to have a relationship that is full of goofy mishaps, and this is just the latest glimpse into their hilariously insane marriage. Check it all out below. 

Up next, read about guests who attended the worst weddings ever, like one person who was shocked that "the cake collapsed in the middle of the ceremony."

    AITA for not respecting fancy soap policy in our bathroom and accidentally starting a soap-based arms race?

    So my wife (30F) bought this absurdly expensive soap from some a little shop. It came in a tiny frosted glass bottle, wrapped in twine. With ridiculous branding like "hints of pine, regret, and artisanal disapointment" or something like that. She placed it on the bathroom counter and told me "This is for guests". We dont have guests. Ever. Ok, maybe once every 2 months. I told her that, but apparently the idea of a guest potentially seeing that we

    use commoner soap is too horrifying to bear. So the fancy soap was enshrined like the Mona Lisa, untouched. Fast forward: I run out of my regular cheapo soap which came in a cracked plastic bottle with a pump that wheezed like a d¸ ng guinea pig. So, in a moment of desperation and dirty hands I dared to touch the holy grail. Was halfway through using a single pump of the fancy soap when she

    walked in looking at me as if I was defiling the sacred artifact or microwaving the Fabergé egg. She said I was wasting it and that it's not for everyday hands. I was ped. Then I did the unthinkable: I went out and bought my own fancy soap. $30. Grapefruit and cedar, smells like if a lumberjack went to therapy. I put it proudly on my side of the sink. I declared that this is my new soap and only I have a right

    to use it. Suddenly, it's Cold War: Soap Edition. That evening I saw over her shoulder she was searching more soap bottles on etsy. Like she wanted revenge! At this point I now want to invite some guests over to make sure they use my fancy soap and not her haha !Now she's mad I'm mocking her and says I'm turning cleanliness into a competition. I told her she started the soap caste system, I just refused to be born into the

    OhThatOneGuy1 It's always heartwarming to see two psychopaths find each other and fall in love. God speed to the both you!

    Just want to note here that this isn't even the first hilarious dispute that this dude and his wife have gotten into. Here's the story of his wife's "noisy phase," where he claims she has started listening to whale sounds to fall asleep, leading him to sleep in his car. It's all very funny, and this guy and his wife seem like they're insane to be around.

    Pseudo-Data Please, OP- put your soap in a clear box with a small lock <bonus points for fancy ribbon or dressing around the box>. Wear the key on a long chain around your neck.

    MuntjackDrowning Real talk...I would buy expensive soap labeled as "Hints of pine, regret, and artisanal disappointment", in a second. I'd leave a calligraphy note on absurdly extensive linen paper saying, "Please wash away your filth with my bougie aspirations. You are most welcome for my thoughtful generosity."

    corvus_corone_co... Can I just say, I hope you and your wife have many, many more issues you want to write about. This is SO hilariously well written! I am in tears. Literally. Thanks for giving me a laugh! NTA

    This is the way!

    RecognitionNew31... Ironically I have a fancy soap bottle with crappy soap in it. People are fooled by the packaging and think they're getting quality, when in fact could well be getting dish soap. Escalate the war with cheapness. Dont be around when she realises she's been secretly using your expensive soap on the qt and it's a con.

    This seems to be common practice in restaurants and cafes. They just put regular hand soap in fancy bottles, and voila, they look much classier!
