One Ex-Boyfriend's Crazy Spreadsheet With List Of Expenses Makes It To TikTok, And It Goes Viral
Breakfast that consisted of a banana and one slice of bread cost $3.23.
A 26-year-old Canadian woman named Maddy thought dating would be simple, until her ex turned their relationship into a line-item budget. She posted a TikTok about it, and the comments section lit up fast, because this was not “keeping track,” it was Excel-level petty. Even her breakfast got itemized, like a banana plus one slice of bread for $3.23, complete with the kind of spreadsheet precision that makes your stomach drop.
And once people realized she was being billed in spreadsheet form while they were still together, the whole story stopped being funny and started being a full-on red-flag parade.
Maddy, a 26-year-old Canadian, recently made headlines when she revealed on TikTok that her ex-boyfriend had created a spreadsheet of her expenses.
@maddysedge / TikTokHe sent her a monthly Excel document that listed all the things he had paid for
@maddysedge / TikTokHe even listed a breakfast of a banana and one slice of bread, which cost $3.23.
Watch the video:
Maddy’s ex didn’t just keep tabs, he sent her the monthly Excel file like it was normal mail, and commenters could not get past that.</p>
This is similar to a roommate using rent money for a trip instead of paying bills.
When the TikTok showed the banana-and-bread $3.23 entry, people started comparing it to their own “why am I paying for this?” dating disasters.</p>
One person said their ex made them prepay gas for a road trip, then his mom reimbursed him, and suddenly the spreadsheet didn’t feel like an isolated weird flex.</p>
Another commenter revealed they accidentally underpaid rent by $2 for months, only to find out their ex was billing them even while they were still dating.</p>
People were perplexed by this. One person wrote, "The fact that you were okay getting a bill in spreadsheet format from your boyfriend?"
Others shared similar experiences. "I dated a guy in college who made me prepay him for gas for a road trip to visit his family, and then I found out his mom sent him money for me," said another person.
Another wrote, "I accidentally underpaid rent every month by $2 somehow (for like a year) to him, and my ex billed me while we were still together." Yikes.
And then we got the not all men: "Girl, men are not weird with money. THAT man was. You should have left him as soon as he started charging you back for stuff."
Dating is really hard. There are a lot of weird people out there, so we should all look out for red flags.
He might have saved both of them time by just showing the red flags in color, because nobody wants to be “breakfasted” into debt.
