Have you ever had to listen to people argue? Although entertaining at times, it's usually quite unpleasant, right? Now add that to the fact that this discomfort you're feeling is caused by a discord over something that is really quite unimportant.
The only thing worse than listening to your two friends fight is listening to them fight over whether or not the colour of the ice cream scoop is fuchsia or coral. 
Who cares what colour it is?! All that matter is that the ice cream that you are starting to care about a lot more than your ridiculous friends is melting to the point that you will soon no longer need the scoop, but a straw.

Not only that, but should you choose to make any comment on how silly it all is, you risk the chance of having the wrath of both parties turned towards you, and getting no ice cream. All in all, it's a horribly frustrating position to be in, since you can't pick a side, you can't not pick a side, and most of all, you are stuck listening to a conversation that not only is aggravating, but that you truly do not care one single bit about to the point where you would rather drink your ice cream than be stuck there for one more second.
Should you ever find yourself arguing over colours, or what you think a person said, or which actor is better looking, by all means, go ahead, but speaking for all those slightly too loyal friends, please do not subject others to your discussion!
Thank you kindly!
Oh my... I'm sorry to say I have fallen victim to too many of these arguments. Although I have learned to look at the positives, for example, while they fight over the irrelevant ice cream scooper, I have already devoured mine and their icecream. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. Instead of falling into misery, try to look on the bright side of the situation. Maybe you can use it to your advantage.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of annoyance in that post, can you remember the single dumbest argument you've ever been forced to endure?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'm actually in a mood where I enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing, but then I usually argue with someone who's also willing.
ReplyDeleteI don't really think it's a big deal. You can always go somewhere else for a few minutes, and those types of arguments don't usually last long anyway.
