What time it was, was it the middle ages, dark ages, early modern period, or just a few minutes after mid-day?
They also argued about whether it was the end of the world, whether the new Pope/Emperor/King was the anti-Christ. Other arguments covered who was a heretic and who wasn't, whether it was a good idea to go on Crusade or not, and whether they should pay for indulgences from the church.
But the biggest arguments were about who had to do the dishes and who had to take out the rubbish bins on a Thursday night (they also argued about whether it was Thursday night or not).
Do you now understand what a difference it makes having clocks and watches and calendars, so many reasons to argue have been taken away by the spread of reliable time-keeping equipment.

It would depend on their social status. If they were ordinary people, they argued about things like boundaries, personal relationships and money. Husbands and wives argued about domestic responsibilities and things like that. If they were wealthier or more important, they argued about property, land, marriage contracts, wardships etc. Wealthy widows supposedly had the right to choose their own husband or even choose not to remarry at all, but could be ordered by the king to marry the man of his choice or have all their property forfeited. There are records of such widows desperately trying to scrape together enough money to buy the right from the king not to have to marry the man. There are some really good books you can read about English society in various centuries. I find the ordinary people much more interesting than the royals and nobility.

The same sort of things we argue about now only in medieval terms I reckon.

The calendar, the price and quality of good beer in England. The squabbles were endless and here in England usually resulted in war/battle.
There are 200 battle fields in England, mostly from the medieval period.

I would imagine the subjects of discontent were taxes, the local lord or city council, naughty children, money, land, other people and maybe even which knight would win the local jousting tournament.

Believe it or not, among the clerics, the leading and often bloody debate was: How many angels would fit on the head of a pin.

The same things that modern people argue about: politics, religion, sex and money.

What is important is not what they argued about, but the unspoken things they all agreed on.
