What's the stupidest argument you've ever gotten dragged into for way too long?

Fighting with my brother about which fruit would win if they were sentient and could fight.

My wife and I got into a shouting match as to whose friend's wedding we would attend

if they scheduled them for the same weekend. Neither of those friends was even engaged yet,

by the way.

When I was six, my friend and I stood facing each other, arguing about which hand was your left

and which was your right. It took us about five minutes to realize that when standing opposite

someone, your left is their right. I was living with a pal and we were getting on each other's

nerves. One night we were

arguing about whether to break spaghetti noodles in half. I finally said, you cook yours your way, broken,

and I'll cook mine unbroken. He took half of the spaghetti from the package and broke the noodles

in half. He put them in boiling water and started stirring while I stood there with the package.

Mostly we glared at each other and then he reminded me to add my half to the pot. After I did it,

he then thought of something, how are we going to separate the long noodles from the short ones?

We argued about the color of lobsters before being cooked. They only catch the red ones for eating.

Duh.

I had an ex argue with me over which would weigh more, a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers.

We went back and forth forever while I tried to explain it to her.

It didn't help when her mother chimed in with,

What about a pound of wet feathers?

The apple does not fall far from the tree, apparently.

Oh no, her mother knew what she was doing.
