17 people share the absolute dumbest reason they ever got dumped.

We've all received an ominous 'we need to talk' text, only to endure a painfully awkward conversation full of 'it's not you, it's me' excuses with someone you didn't even know you were officially dating...

So, when a Reddit user asked, 'Whats the dumbest reason someone broke up with you?' people were ready to share the hilariously petty or downright idiotic reasons that someone ended a romantic relationship with them.
