Worst ways to break up

Breaking up is never easy, and there’s only one good way to do it: in person.

We are see this Worst ways to break up

But there are all sorts of bad ways. If you can imagine a heart-wrenching, nasty, vengeful, or just plain insensitive way to break up with someone, the odds are someone’s done it. Here, for your painful pleasure, is a roundup of some of the worst ways to get dumped—from postmodern to classically tasteless.

By text. It may be the age of iEverything, but breaking up over the phone was never cool, so why would anyone think texting the bomb is socially acceptable? Yet an international survey conducted by the market research company Synovate found that 1 in 8.33 cell phone owners had dumped someone via text message, and 1 in 12.5 reported having gotten the bad news that way.

Seems more than a bit crass. But maybe it’s just a consequence of our growing dependence on electronic communication. After all, 1 in 5 respondents to the same survey reported having used text messaging to set up a first date. If you start that way, why not end that way?
