Arguing about the ketchup.

I first learned about this in a playwriting workshop I took last year. Arguing about the ketchup is the basis of most conflicts seen in a relationship. Where the two people (or more) argue about the ketchup at a dinner table. Where something as simple as passing the ketchup from across the table can spark a full-blown argument about how someone doesn’t contribute to paying the rent. Something as obscene and ridiculous as a bottle of ketchup becomes the gateway to a world of disagreement and discontent. It’s interesting when it’s applied to both your writing and real-life situations. 

Just pass me the god damn ketchup.
