    Text - that1one1dude 2.3k points 1 day ago My ex girlfriend and I got into a pretty heated argument about where the bed sheets should be stored. Personally I just thought that her putting them down with the canned foods in the kitchen didn't seem to make as much sense as putting them with the curtains and towels in the bathroom. But apparently that makes me an idiot

    Text - poemchomsky 2.7k points 1 day ago I was eating a pickle at lunch, in high school. I referred to my pickle for some reason in the conversation. My friend said, "That's not a pickle." It was a pickle. A normal, big crunchy dill pickle. It looked exactly like the pickle you're picturing right now. I asked her what she thought it was, and she said it was a cucumber. I said that she was right, but that it was also a pickle. She disagreed. I asked her what she thought a pickle was, then, if not

    Text - spacialHistorian 11.5k points 1 day ago I told a coworker that I was taking a class in archaeology, and was pretty interested in majoring in it. He insisted archaeologists dug up dinosaurs. I explained, no, that's a really common mistake. Paleontologists dig up dinosaurs, archaeologists deal with human stuff. Dude got really defensive and doubled down, quizzing me on random dinosaurs facts (that he probably didn't know either) and said I would never make it as an archaeologist if I didn't

"No, there isn't any drops coming from it." So I wrung it out and got more water out of it. They didnt want to argue anymore.

    Text - diana_sea 334 points 1 day ago I got into a huge fight with one of my ex- boyfriends because he sincerely believed that there were no bats in the state of Ohio, despite the fact that we'd frequently see them flying in the woods near our houses. He insisted they were just "fast birds." This was before you could Google something from your smartphone, you had to go home for dial-up to get online. FWIW, there are 13 species of bats in Ohio:

One colleague kept insisting it was wrong since I was obviously from Africa according to her. She kept insisting there are only Bollywood skincolored people in India. That was a discussion that hurt my brain.
