15 Petty Reasons Why People Dumped Their Partner

Human beings are imperfect animals. We can be selfish, cruel, and sometimes downright petty. It's not ideal, but it's a reality we must all face and learn to deal with.

More often than not, our petty tendencies have a habit of interfering with our romantic endeavors. Have a look at what I'm talking about and check out these 15 petty reasons why people dumped their partner.

This might sound obvious, but have you ever heard of contact lenses?

"I knew someone who broke up with his girlfriend because she had to wear glasses. Reason he gave me was that he didn’t like glasses." - Reddit u/odagled86

Make sure to always write legibly.

Oddly enough, the final straw for Redditor Rj9949 was the girl's handwriting. He said that one time, she left him a scribble on a piece of paper that looked as if it could've been a ransom note.

Knowing when to pass gas is the ultimate test in any relationship.

Reddit user dub-fresh admits that she liked her would-be boyfriend just fine. Unfortunately for him, he made the mistake of farting in front of her too soon into the relationship.

Guys, you don't always have to be "on."

Redditor Magradon79 said that the guys she was dating wouldn't stop telling jokes. Every time he would open his mouth, it was always followed by a cheesy punchline. After awhile, it got old.

"Not me, but a friend broke up with a girl because she didn't like the movie 'Back to the Future'." - Reddit u/DasWulf23

Dump her. Dump her right then and there, like the bad habit that she is. I don't care who you are, what you look like, how much money you have in your bank account, etc. If you don't like Back to the Future, then you're dead to me.

Why not just put it on the chair?

Reddit user Make_u_wet_holy_watr said that on a first date with a new prospective boyfriend, he took off his coat once inside the movie theater and proceeded to place it gently on the ground under his feet.

Do you know who you look like?

When Redditor Writeloves was on her first date with a new guy, he insensitively remarked how she resembled Woody Harrelson. How he or anyone for that matter would presume that kind of "compliment" would be taken well is beyond me.

Send in the clowns.

Redditor leefi50 said that she used to date a guy who, she found to be incredibly attractive. That was until she discovered that he worked as a party clown and had a collection of clown artwork adorning his apartment.

Oh. My. God.

"Her voice was in the same register as Janice from 'Friends' or Fran Drescher from the 'Nanny.' Like daggers in my ears. Could not get over it. After the third date I had to back off and tell her I was way too busy right now to date." - Reddit u/tdasnowman

"She smelled like soup." - Reddit u/Anomie_Lad

Ok, but what kind of soup? I could maybe understand if the person you're with stunk like clam chowder, but if it was something along the lines of "Italian Wedding" — all bets are off.

Would you mind passing me a napkin?

"I broke up with this guy in high school because he ate so gross. I’ve never seen someone have their entire hands covered in ketchup after eating a hamburger. I had to sit next to him because I could not watch him eat." - Reddit u/Garbitch666

Who does that?

According to Redditor Thick-Bad-1749, she once broke up with a guy over the fact that he ate candy bars with a fork and knife. It sounds petty, but I'd probably do the same thing if I saw someone eating pizza like this.

Mi nombre es Peggy Hill.

When Reddit user amblerina was on her second date with a new man, she informed him of how she spoke Spanish as a second language. From that point onward, he kept referring to her as "Peggy Hill."

Reddit user rawrzsilentb34r complained that the girl he was seeing had a bad habit of skipping through songs before they finished. He said that he couldn't be with someone with such an utter lack of commitment.

Sleep with one eye open...

"I was kicking it with this girl but when she slept, her eyes didn’t close all the way. She looked like X-Men's Cyclops, always got her eyeballs on me. Very unsettling so I had to dip." - Reddit u/Q_Tip
