One Redditor, who I wouldn’t want to be on the bad side of, said, “Depends on the level of argument. If it’s extreme….hiding shrimp in the curtain rod in their home. If it’s small….just a good random crop dusting.”

This Redditor responded with, “I remember how my girlfriend once went to complain to my mom.”
Finally, this user said, “My sister used to hit her arm or leg against a corner and then tell our dad I hit her. Our dad never hit me. Just gave me disappointed looks.”
