....you asked them to call and get more gas for your propane heater a week ago and they called you today (while you were at work) cussing you out for not getting any, because it ran out and they were at home (in your house) and cold. And then when you told them you had asked them to do that a week ago, they got even angrier because they didn't remember you doing that so therefore didn't believe you.....what would you go home and do?

I would let this one go, because it's an arguement over something that is basically not a major issue. Fill the tank, problem solved.
HOWEVER, on the way home I would stop by the local office supply and get one of those boards you stick on the wall and write on with erasable ink, and the next time I asked Mr No You Didn't Tell Me That to do something, I would also write it on the board in nice big fat black letters so there was no mistaking it in the future.
He owes you an apology for cussing you out though.

I think that he has some problems...but I would go home and calmly talk with him about this. If he doesn't want to talk calmly, then I would just tell him that you don't appreciate getting yelled at for such a small thing and say that you are going to your mom's or sister's or something like that and when they calm down, they can call you and you can discuss it like a normal couple would. If that makes him angrier, I'd suggest finding a new significant other, because if he gets upset over little things like that, he probably has more issues than you think.

i would tell the significant other to take a chill pill.
this sounds like a pointless and stupid argument.... choose your battles.
call for some propane, snuggle up together while you wait for the propane. create some body heat with friction, do whatever! but no need to fight.

You keep saying "them". Is there more than one "significant other"?
If this is just one incidence, do nothing and move on. Perhaps a chalk board or other type of message board would help. Seeing things in writing helps to remember. Or, after you ask this person to do something, ask him/her to repeat back what he/she heard you say. Can't tell if he/she lives with you or not....helps pay expenses? Anyway, if he/she treats you like this all the time...dump him/her and move on.

It was a week ago, and you didnt follow through and ask them if they remembered to do it?
You are both at fault for the situation. Go home and apologize, if you get an apology back in return, you are good to go.
If you get selfishness and flack in return, rethink the dynamics of your relationship, because one or both of you are to immature to be in a committed relationship.

I would get the toughest male friend I had to come to my house with me and I would have the significant other pack his belongings and out he would go. I sense that this isn't the first time and I don't think it would be healthy to have him stick around. You're call.

Sounds like he has an attitude problem. If it keeps up, I'd find myself a "friendlier" significant other, who needs it? Wisen up before its too late & he breaks your heart.

Just for the plain and simple fact that this is my place I would go home and kick his childish AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS out.

I would hand them a Post-It for every task they need to do.

If it is your house, then it should be your responsibitity. If you don't live together, tell him if he doesn't like it, he can go to his own house.
