Bad break up moments


Crazy, embarrassing and unbelievable ways to break up with someone.

Nobody likes doing it, but when the time comes, there will never be a better time to break up with someone, although we beg to differ. There are plenty of things to consider when you have decided to call it quits in a relationship like what you are going to say, when to do it and how to do it in tactful and sensitive manner.

Breaking up with someone or getting dumped is an earth shattering moment so, make sure that you aren’t completely insensitive and take into account our list of situations and locations to not break up. No doubt your ex will still feel bitter about it but at least you won’t be known as that heartless wench that broke up with him online or similar inappropriate situations.

Facebook
It’s too easy to change your status without the other person knowing and uploading pictures of you and the other guy but it will be a tacky and very insensitive move. It is called the World Wide Web for a reason, and you can bet, a big chunk of that world will be speculating the reasons behind your actions.

If you are thinking of changing your Facebook status, make sure that you talk to the other person first or at least inform them about it. It’s just plain rude to break up with someone over a social networking service.

Happy freaking birthday
Never break up with someone within two weeks of his birthday and make that a month during Valentine's Day. There's no faster entry to the Bitch Hall of Fame than by permanently scarring special days for a soon-to-be-ex. It's just not nice and we have all heard about Karma which nobody wants biting them in the ass.

On holiday
The last person you want to be stuck on a deserted island is the guy you just said, “I’m sorry, but it’s just not working out.” Not only would you be wasting money but your time as well.

Do you honestly want to waste time feeling guilty while you’re on a beautiful island getaway? Unless you can afford a chopper or a private jet to get you out of there, it is best to avoid this scenario.

A formal event
Refrain yourself from breaking up with someone at a formal affair like weddings or your office’s cocktail party. You really wouldn’t want to spend the evening putting your ‘game face’ on for others to see. Plus, you don’t want to be the centre of attention instead of the bride do you?

A restaurant
Ordering appetizers and pretending to have a great time while knowing that you're about to pull the trap door any time soon is a definite no-no. A sit down dinner shouldn’t involve, "I'll have the risotto, and honey, I just don't think this is working out anymore.” Delivering bad news in a crowded area could trigger a sudden outburst from the about to be exiled boyfriend.

And trust us; it will end up an embarrassing moment for both you and him. It’s bad enough his appetite will be ruined; you don’t want to do the same to the other patrons.

Their work place
Swinging by someone’s office to perform the breakup is a terrible idea. "Hey, I was in the neighbourhood. Can we talk for a minute?" Why? You’ll be breaking their heart, ruin their performance at work and that could lead to him requesting for an emergency leave just so he can go home and sulk.

Someone else
With the advancement of technology, breaking up over text messages and a phone call is very much faux pas. For a fee, letsbreakup.com will help inform your other half of the relationship's demise by phone, email or snail mail. Certainly not the most sensitive approach, but it gets the job done like any true coward would do.

Till then
