2 The classic toilet seat spat.
If you’re in a cohabiting relationship with a member of the opposite sex, then you’re destined to have this argument at least once a week (if not once a day). But as annoying as falling into the toilet at three in the morning is, is something like putting a toilet seat down—an action that takes a maximum of three seconds and requires minimal effort—really worth fighting over? Probably not. Ladies: Your better bet is to calmly remind your significant other every so often that you use the toilet with the seat, and that his putting it back down would be much obliged.
3 Whose turn it is to clean the kitchen.
Why are you keeping track of who cleaned last? Tidying up the house should be a joint effort, not another reason to unnecessarily fight. The simple solution here is to divvy up the responsibilities between you and your significant other (as they should be). That way, any arguments about “who cleaned last” won’t be possible. And if you want to scrub the house so well that you won’t have to touch a sponge again for weeks, use these 20 Genius House-Cleaning Tricks That Will Blow Your Mind.
