It's happened to all of us. A family member, friend, or co-worker says something wrong, so you point out their error. But they are convinced you are the one who is wrong. We should just let it go at that point, but every once in a while, the argument escalates into something the two of you think is important, when it's not important at all. It's just dumb.
Are these examples of overthinking it, or just over-caring? Even if you manage to dial it back, those arguments and their aftermath will stay with you, so you can share it years later.
A reddit post asked the question "What's the most pointless argument you've been passionately involved in?" and 22 Words selected the 30 funniest of those dumb arguments to illustrate. -via Metafilter
