Redditors Shared Petty Reasons Why They Broke Up With Someone
"All the words in every text he sent were capitalized. Trust me, it got annoying."
Breakups are hard. Regardless of the reason, they lead to heartbreak or, at the very least, awkwardness. If you think about it, that in itself is already torture enough.
However, if you’ve ever been broken up with, you’d know that sometimes you never find out the reason. They leave you hanging without an explanation, which leads to no closure.
You’ll probably try to narrow it down to a disagreement or falling out of love, but it’s not that grave most of the time. Breakups can easily stem from something as petty as not being able to stand someone chewing loudly.
In a subreddit post, an OP asked Redditors to share their petty reasons for breaking up with someone. Let’s just say, if you think about dealing with their reasons, you wouldn’t consider them that petty.
Still, the answers were hilariously ridiculous. The people who were broken up with probably didn’t realize that what they were doing was breakup-worthy; one of them didn’t even know that lemons aren’t ‘unripened oranges.’
It begs the question, though: would you feel guilty if you tried to break up with someone for these reasons? Read on to see which of these reasons are dump-worthy and which are just downright petty.
Petty or Justifiable?
High_Sleep3694Got to hit that sweet spot of being the second wife, because I guess for her, he needs more experience?
nitelitecafeIt’s amazing the whole theater didn’t break up with him for doing that.

It would be pretty confusing when you're telling stories to your friends.

Maybe she was wearing something that wasn’t egg-xactly matching.

Even the peas were impatient.

She’ll think that the reason for you breaking up with her is redonkulous.

The rock they were kept under didn’t have PowerPoint.

Flushed that down right away; who knows, he might have a brother named Luigi who could console him.

She sure picked the right time to break up.

Nope, but he’s about to break up with you.

Did you at least find out what he did to make his hair so soft?

All great thoughts about her would just go down the drain every time he couldn’t help but think about that toilet.

Stop trying to make ‘dame’ happen; it’s never going to happen.

He tried to finish all your sentences; you finished the relationship.

That word-of-the-day gift isn’t working out for her.

Sometimes it’s as simple as noisy chewing that pushes you to the brink.

You never know; maybe it was giving him flashbacks about his first day on Earth.

Sad to say, but she did not pass the final interview.

For those who read texts in tones depending on how they type them, it’s not just annoying; it’s also confusing.

Getting along with someone is based on your preferences. To each their own, as they say.
Something that might be annoying to you could be found adorable by someone else, making breakups necessary. It doesn’t justify the pettiness, but if you’re thinking about someone romantically, you’ll have your own pet peeves and red flags to look out for.
Although these reasons were considered petty, they were enough to be deal-breakers for those who answered. You never know; you might be surprised when you find yourself annoyed by something that never even crossed your mind.
