My wife is Italian and a mad football fan, and in the 94 World cup final I laughed when Baggio missed his penalty to lose the WC final. Never really forgiven me so not really looking forward to first England match in this years WC. Expect the initial dispute to be brought back to haunt me again..... In retrospect I thought my 2 kids would never have been born if she had done the reverse to me with England losing on penalties in a World cup final.

Not long after my then girlfriend moved in with me.
I happened to be out one night getting slaughtered, with mates on my birthday.
When I got back she had helped herself to almost a full bottle of Ouzo, I had bought back from holiday and whacked me round the head with a frying pan.
I woke in the morning to find my usual hangover was a little more severe than usual.
I noticed that the pan was sitting on the breakfast bar with the handle bent up at nearly 90 degrees.
When I asked what happened, she explained that while I was out some woman had called to ask why I was late for our date etc.etc.
It turns out that a couple of mates decided it would be funny to wind up my girlfriend with a birthday prank and got one of their girlfriends to call and put on the false date act.
She took it seriously, got drunk and progressively angrier and waited to confront me.
I got home as said and she just clunked me, I couldn't remember, being pissed anyway, so asked what did I do after and she said you just sniggered drunkenly and went to bed.
All involved confessed up and she has since been my wife for the last 21 years, so not all bad.

Used to have regular arguments in my Uni houses when my cohabitees would accuse me of nicking their food. I never admitted, but it was ALWAYS me.

It is easier to put down than put up.
We should never have given them the vote.....It only encouraged them.
Were you reading it at the time?

My favourite is that whenever I refuse to engage in a screaming match with the wife over whatever, it's because I'm passive aggressive, it drives her mental. Such is the spice of married life, wouldn't swap it......

I think getting hit on the head with a frying pan (to the extent that it bent the handle) would be a bit of a red flag for me! I'd have packed my bags the next day.
21 years though, so it seems to have worked out for you.

It was only a cheap one and probably not that strong, I don't remember her doing it as I was so smashed.

I often sit down for a wee, as I tend to leave it until it's nearly too late and it can take a while to finish, so sitting downs is much more comfortable.

Shared a house with a bloke that used to take my underpants out my draw , wear them before finally folding them up and putting them back in the draw the next day. It wasn't a pleasant discovery nor did the share last.

I usually sit down because it just splashes everywhere if you don't!
When I first moved to London I had several room and flat shares. The usual things which caused arguments were when no one would wash up and would just pile plates in the sink until there were no plates or cutlery left. There was worse to come when one of the girls moved her sister from Wales into the flat and they spoke Welsh all the time and another girl moved her boyfriend in. He was one of those "Daddy pays for everything" types but that didn't stop him eating all our food and using our gas and electricity. Needless to say I didn't hang around for long in that tenancy.

strong and stable with me, or...
Used to have big arguments with a mate who seriously felt that he was being severely let down if we just left him drunk asleep and getting cold on the sofa after a night out. Confusing the situation with Vietnam, he'd lividly proclaim "you never leave a man behind". The next time it happened, we covered him with every sheet of newspaper we could find, including raiding neighbours recycling bins. The rest of us went to bed, but were awakened much later by a huge rustling of newspaper and an impression of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket!

Good man!
I managed a sister of one and an ex of another (different housemates and women!)
