People have different reactions to seeing others argue in public settings: some might look for a way to remove themselves, others might move in closer for unobstructed viewing.
Eavesdropping may not be polite but when you are stuck waiting at an airport and a couple starts loudly arguing next to
you it can be hard to resist listening in.
This is exactly the situation that Kimber Dowsett, who goes by "mzbat" on Twitter, found herself in. The cause of the argument was so unbelievable she just had to share it online.
The topic of the spat was finances — a common point of disagreement among couples — but this wasn't just your regular old money worries.
According to Dowsett, the woman had been offered a promotion at work but her man didn't like the idea of her earning more money than him.
