There are a lot of reasons for men and women to bicker, but here's the six trivial things that couples fight about the most.

Ever since Adam and Eve couples have been engaged in conflict, disagreements, fights, arguments, difference of opinion, bickering, and dispute. Sometimes these encounters are over big items like financial decisions, discipline for the children, or incongruent schedules.

But,  the fact is, it seems like we fight or bicker over the most inconsequential things. Female First reports the results of a new survey that reveals the six trivial things couples fight about the most.

We shouldn't be surprised that the #1 item on the list is the television remote control. This isn't so much about deciding what to watch as it is simply being a matter of who's in control - and which one of us can stand to not be in control.

The second biggest small thing we fight about is things that make bills slightly more expensive like leaving the television on when nobody's watching, cranking the heat up, or letting the car run unnecessarily after arriving at a destination.

At #3 is taking out the trash. For some reason, there is an unwritten rule that says this is the man's job. Men, let's just accept it - and do it!. Don't wait to be asked or told. Use your powers of observation to realize the trash needs to go out, get the job done, and avoid the impending nagging.

Number 4  and 5 on the list are other household chores like dishes, laundry, and who's cooking dinner. The latter seems like an easy one to me - whoever is home at the designated dinner preparation time should be responsible for dinner. Of course, not every couple has this issue. Many housewives don't want their husband going anywhere near the kitchen.

Finally, #6. Who's going to get out of bed to turn the light off that somehow got left on before you crawled in. Another easy one. Last one in gets the lights.

Most people don't like to fight, but believe it or not, there are some people- and couples- who seems to thrive on conflict. It seems like they aren't happy unless they are in conflict. And maybe they aren't happy. Maybe they just can't avoid it.

What it the trivial thing you and your significant other fight over most often? Take our poll below and tell us what it is that's causing minor irritations in your relationship.
