People shared the pettiest reasons they’ve had for dumping someone – 27 favourites
Most people have experienced a relationship break-up, whether as the dumper or dumpee, and they happen for almost as many reasons as there are relationships.
For example, nobody would blame you for wanting to end a relationship the instant the other person told you how many sleeps there were until Christmas, or if they owned a “Live, Laugh, Love” cushion without a hint of irony.
Stand-up comedian, Joe Heenan, shared one reason he’d felt compelled to break up with someone.
What's the pettiest reason you broke up with someone?

Absolutely not petty. Some of the replies were, though. Others were one hundred per cent justified – we’ll leave you to work out which is which.
Not always safe for work.

Their voice sounded a bit like Ann Widdecombe. Not what they said, obviously, but their actual voice. Once I noticed it, that was that. https://t.co/KFfjVXUJct

I once dated somebody who worked in Lush. I’m sensitive to perfumes so I’d sneeze, cough and stream my eyes every time we met. I soon told him it was an issue but he wouldn’t give up Lush products. I couldn’t be with a man who valued a Jumping Juniper shampoo bar more than me. https://t.co/RTeRK17gKQ
