You might wonder why anybody would want to start a stupid argument with their friends. Even if you did want to, you probably don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what to say to ignite things. But, if you want pointless arguments for amusement purposes only, I have some ideas to offer.
The next time you’re bored while hanging out friends or family, try these “discussion topics” and see if things get more interesting. In fact, you might try them out on New Year’s Eve this weekend.
Fair Warning: you’ll have a much livelier discussion if the participants have consumed alcohol, are tired/sleep deprived, or both. As I said, New Year’s Eve might provide just the powder keg you’re looking for.
Lace’ em up- let’s go!
- For practical purposes, are one month and four weeks the same thing?
2. If something happened on the first Saturday of November (say, the 3rd), is the one-year anniversary of that event November 3 of the following year, or the first Saturday of November the following year?
3. Is calling shotgun a legitimate way to decide seating arrangements in a vehicle? If so, how far in advance can shotgun be called?
4. If the weather is 30° with a windchill making it feel like 20°, is it legitimate to say it is 20° outside?
And here’s the family fight starter in my family:
Say you were eating pretzels out of the bag and another person asked to have some. You give them the whole bag and say “I’m finished with them, you may have them.” Is the person now eating pretzels out of the bag responsible for putting them away when they are finished? Or is that still the responsibility of the original snacker?

Oh….LOL times a million…the pretzel-snacker-put-away-er conundrum. Been there, done that. I say it’s like hot potato. Once you take possession of said bag it’s yours…. including putting the bag away (assuming snacker #2 doesn’t wolf down all that’s left). Too funny! 😜😜😜
I’m with you Victoria! Possession is 9/10 of the law, right? 😂
Right on! 😎😉😎
So funny, Todd! You’ve made me a little hungry for pretzels. Happy New Year!
😁 Happy New Year Wynne! 🎉
I was expecting a lot more fire bombs to start a stupid fight than what you listed. You gave me a good laugh. My dad, who will be 92 next month, is an expert at throwing a bomb to start a family fight. I think he enjoys it.
Hahaha I guess at 92 he has mastered the art! Thanks EA!
Exactly!
Lol, these are funny!
Thanks Tamara! 🙂
Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I have definitive answers for each question, but I’m going to save them for another day! Wink, wink! ~ Blessings, KK
Haha thanks for reading Kathleen!
😂😂😂Happy New Year, Todd.
😁 Thanks Parisa- Happy New Year!

Debating at what point warm bread becomes toast is a great topic for starting arguments
Haha yes that’s a great one! 😁😁
Really good blog
Thanks for reading! 🙂
I discovered a new one a few days ago: Do eggs count as dairy?
Ah that’s a good one! They do get lumped together a lot…
My start for a fight would be about a cup of coffee, not how to prepare it but where to drink it. So, I turn the question to you Todd. Where would you drink a coffee? Plastics, paper, or ceramics cup? Pay attention to your reply, not to start a fight 🤣Very funny post! Happy new year!
That’s a great one! I am not a coffee drinker, but I do love tea; so based on tea I would say:
Ceramic mug – best choice by far
Paper cup – fine if necessary
Plastic cup- avoid at all costs/possibly refuse the drink 😄
OK now I’m nervous – can we still be friends? 😬
Sure, you answered as it’s expected by a coffee or tea lover!
