break ups

Breakups can bring out the petty side in us - when a relationship ends badly, it's reasonable and expected to want to get a one-up over our exes. Sensible? No. But a natural human instinct? Yes. And anyone who says otherwise has never had their heart ripped out of their chest. Am I right?

A Reddit thread has asked people what the pettiest things they've done after a breakup are, and the answers are hilarious. From faking positive pregnancy tests to signing their exes up to porn websites, it's all here to sink your teeth into.

Love is a wonderful thing... when it's going right. Being in love can make your heart soar and you feel like you're on top of the world. Nothing can touch you! But when it goes wrong, it's like a giant kick in the gut and you want to die. Being dumped is never fun, but when the reason for being dumped is so ridiculous, it can add humor to the whole situation. An AskReddit thread requested the most ridiculous reasons people have been dumped and we've compiled a list of some of the funniest responses.
