This list is from some straight up savages who broke up with their loved ones in the most brutal, and sometimes the most hilarious ways.
Poor Paul
Poor Paul will probably never show his face again after this sign was put up for everyone to see. Not just that, but he is even getting the poor dog taken away from him!
The only way we could justify this level of savagery is if Paul deserved it. Though it's hard to think of how one can deserve to be publicly lambasted like this.

Broke and Alone
Now, this is some payback served on a golden platter! When Steven was driving to work, without a care in the world, we bet he never would have guessed he would stumble across this billboard.
One this is for sure; you do NOT cheat on Emily and get away with it. She and the expensive looking billboard will make sure of that.
At Least They Were Considerate
Okay so maybe you just got your heart broken (and not even with the respect of a face to face break-up) but at least you can now stuff your face with pizza!
Whoever came up with this breakup plan is somewhat of an evil genius. Can you imagine the poor delivery guy knowing he is about to bring someone not just a box of pizza, but some heart-breaking news?
Awkwardddd
This just went so wrong. You know those butterflies you get in your stomach when you think your loved one is about to say something really sweet to you?
Well, those butterflies got crushed and violently killed when this person served up heartbreak the same time that poor Jacob was ready to propose marriage!
Jokes on You
Knock Knock jokes don’t always have the funniest endings, but none have ever been as harsh as this one. Who expects a knock-knock joke to turn into a break-up?
Now not only do they have to say they got broken up with over text, but they got broken up with through a joke!!
Good Job Dave!
Dave thought he had it all, a wife, kids, and a mistress, but clearly, that is no the case any longer. When the disgraced wife found out about it, she took it in her own hands to get some sweet revenge.
And revenge she got when she emptied their bank account and tarnished his SUV! A Cheater getting what he deserves.
A Savage Wish
They say 11:11 is a magic number to make your wish come true, but unfortunately for his poor person, her dream became a total nightmare when things took a very different total.
It’s clear one person was deep into this relationship and one person wanted out, and all there was left to do was break up in the harshest way possible…
Not Very Funny
Honestly, with this kind of handwriting, I would be relieved to be broken up with whoever wrote this note! Not only is it barely illegible, but she clearly has no concept of sensitivity!
Poor Keenen was just trying to make her laugh, and all she did was make him want to break up with her. well, Keenen, I say good riddance!
Kind of The Point
When you decide to break up with someone, it takes courage and determination, you never know how someone will try manipulating you to stay in a bad relationship!
Clearly, this person used a trick or two playing some mind games. But the other stood their ground beautifully and spat out this line which was perfect.
My Kind of Yard Sale
This guy is savage! It’s amazing what people will do when they get them hears broken, and honestly, I don’t blame the poor guy.
We are sure the neighbors flocked to this yard sale, after all, he seemed determined to get every reminder of his cheating wife out ASAP and we’re sure some great bargains were made!
That’s Got to Hurt
You can’t help but chuckle when reading this one. ‘ily’ is commonly used as a shortening of Í love you’, and that what this poor person thought when they asked their loved one to write it out!
Well, they were in for quite the surprise. Apparently, this guy or girl has their own version of the acronym, one that stings a little more…
Have a Cake While You’re at It
I can't tell if his breakup is totally insensitive, or actually pretty sweet (literally and figuratively). Yes, they admitted they were moving without their firmer loved one.
BUT at least they provided some relief in cake form for the heartbreak they were causing! Although finding this out on a piece of cake could not have been a good feeling.
Get Your Math Straight
Ron may be sweet, he may be sensitive, he may even be great in bed…but he certainly is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I mean, lacking some maths skills is one thing, but not having a full grasp on your language is the cherry on the top. Regardless, we wish him success in a future filled with grammar mistakes!
What A Trick
Some tricks are funny and smart, but some are outright cruel! This poor girl thought she was about to say yes to a marriage proposal when really, she was getting broken up with in the worst way possible.
Not only is she publicly humiliated, but she has six days to get herself together and find a place to say! Talk about harsh.
Denial is Real
Denial…it’s a real thing. Just ask this girl who refused to acknowledge that the man was getting a clear message across. He literally spelled out that he wanted to break up with her.
But she blamed it on an autocorrect issue! Poor girl needs to get more in touch with reality and deal with her clear issues of denial!
A Heavy Card
Honesty is the best policy, and if this girl thought she would get away with fooling around behind her man’s back, she had something else heading her way.
The card may be a slap in the face, but at the end of the day, she deserved it! It seemed she could not stop betraying her man.
Take the Hint
Some people seriously can’t take the hint. We get the fact that understanding its over isn’t the easiest but sometimes you have to understand its time to walk away!
Sure, she could have been more straightforward and not make the poor guy work so hard to understand that this was a breakup, but at least she eased him into it.
Take a Look in The Mirror
You don’t get more cold-hearted than this person!! Messages on mirrors usually have freaky horror-movie connotations, but this may even be worse.
Not only do you have to scrub your mirror clean, but your relationship is over, and you are staring at a newly single and sad person in the mirror!
Get It Together Shawn
I don’t really know what to make of his sad break-up note! These two little kids seemed to have had their relationship go awry, but that’s probably because Shawn didn’t talk to her for three months!
Regardless, she certainly put him straight and made it clear that while she wished him the best, he will not be getting ‘mareeed’ to her!!
Let the Games Begin
Nothing like heartbreak and betrayal to get the creative juices flowing! So, when she found out her husband was getting too close to Kelsi, she came up with a brilliant pay-back scavenger hunt.
We hope he was better at remembering details of their relationship than he was at staying faithful or he may never find all of his things!
Letting the World Know
One of the most savage on the list is his guy who decided to break up with his girl via social media so everyone could see.
What she could have done to deserve having her heartbreak publicized we can only guess. But #Transformationtuesday just took on a whole new meaning for these kids.
1,000,000,000 Sparky Trampolines
Synonyms are a great use of expressing your love poetically. But getting compared o 1,000,000,000 sparkly trampolines may be foreshadowing something not so pleasant.
Indeed, what started off as a poetic love note, turned into a very matter-of-fact breakup note. Erin lost her boyfriend that day, but hopefully next time she finds someone who knows how to write.
Hopefully, He Reads the Paper
Social Media may be bad but getting dumped in the personal ads in the newspaper- that is badass!! Kevin Maxey must have done some pretty terrible things to end up being dumped in his way.
The catch? How many people scan personal ads so closely? What if he never sees this announcement? Might make for an awkward visit next time he goes to his ex…
Breaking Up with Your Work
No, she is no breaking up with five guys at once! She is quitting her job as the burger restaurant ‘Five Guys’ where she worked!
In all honesty, this sweet letter is respectful and heartfelt and it's safe to assume she had a great relationship with her co-workers and will genuinely miss them as she continues her travels.
Letting the Neighbors Know
It seems this woman has no shame about her sticky situation and would rather call her husband out in public than deal with things privately.
Which is why she hung up this huge sign (which honestly is pretty gorgeous aesthetically) explaining exactly why her Neighbors won’t be seeing her in the community anymore.
Quite the Imagination
Greg may suck at love and be super insensitive, but one thing is for sure, his imagination is top notch!
Honestly, he doesn’t give any clear reason why he has already dated, married, and divorced 'Dr. Who Girl’ but he has put a lot of thought into how they are going to split their imaginary assets... okay then Greg.
Two Birds, One Stone
This Kinder gardener may be quite cold-hearted, but at least he is efficient! Not only did he break up with his ex, but he also managed to wish her a happy one-month anniversary all in one go!
Hopefully, when Delauren grows up he’s realized the right way to go about breaking someone’s heart, but we’ll give him a break since he is only five and all…
So Close
I honestly hope this one is a bad joke and not a real breakup. When you realize you are pregnant, the one thing you need is support, which is very far from what this guy was giving his pregnant girlfriend!
He was trying to pull a fast one but got caught due to some rather embarrassing spelling errors. We wonder how this one turned out.
Cats Out the Bag
it seems Steve’s gig is up! He may have managed to juggle two girlfriends for quite some time, but it looks like they eventually discovered one another and decided to take Steve down together (John Tucker Must Die anyone?)
What we would give to see Steve’s face when he realized he went from two girlfriends to zero!
The List Goes on and on
Getting dumped is never a good feeling which is why many people break up with their ex in a sensitive and caring way. Not this girl!
She decided to provide him with a very detailed and descriptive list of all the reasons she decided to end their relationship. Harsh, but maybe he deserved it!
Just Like That…
At first glance, this breakup letter doesn’t seem so bad. It's short, sweet, and seemingly sensitive while still being honest.
But it’s the postscript that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. The author writes ‘no one has to know we were going together in the first place’ making it seem like she was embarrassed that they were ever romantically involved!
Word in a Picture
Some people are not good with words, especially when it comes to describing tough emotions! This guy clearly is one of those people, so he decides to describe himself on a different away.
Naturally, he thought drawing a picture of him riding a giraffe would somehow soften the blow of him breaking up with the poor girl.
Ruthless
Every single thing about Laura’s breakup is straight up savage. Number one- she is leaving him for another man, Gary to be exact. Number two- she is publicizing it so everyone can see his disgrace and the cherry on the top? She did it on VALENTINES DAY!
To add salt to the wound she is also kicking him out and leaving his belongings at his parents. What did poor Gary ever do to deserve this!
That’s One Way to Do It
Another illustration breakup- this time there is no sweet giraffe, rather a very graphic drawing….not only does he not want anything to do with her, but it seems he wants her dead!
Hopefully, little Valerie never got hold of this, judging by the drawing she is far too young to experience this kind of heartbreak!
Short and Sweet
Many things are good short and sweet, breakup notes are apparently one of them. We imagine if this note came after years of dating it would not go down very well, but who knows, they could have gone on two dates and be in middle school!
But we do solute Jenny for her sensitivity in making it clear that she is not interested in Alexander’s friends.
Batman Breakup
Sometimes it's hard to find the right words to break up with someone. And when that happens, there’s always the option to borrow lines from well-known movies.
This guy went straight for a Batman line when he cut his romance short. But what’s the most impressive about this situation is that the person being dumped recognized the reference!
That ‘New Movie’
This guy/girl was just unnecessary. You’re already hurting someone by breaking their hearts, why did he/she have to be so mean about it?
From thinking you’re going to go check out a new movie, to realizing you have just been dumped over a joking text. that’s got to hurt.
Right Back at You
Things definitely didn’t turn out the way this dude planned. Getting dumped when you’re pregnant is definitely not an optimal situation.
But I guess being able to throw that back in the face of the person who just broke up with you may be pretty satisfying! We just hope these two made semi-decent co-parents after this drama.
Not an Option
This took a seriously unexpected turn. He thinks he is casually breaking up with his side chick, what he is really doing is exposing the fact that he’s cheating to his wife!!!
What’s hilarious is that at first, she seems relieved, and then what he said sinks in. we can only imagine the conversation that went down following these texts!
Funny/ Not Funny
It’s clear reading this that the person is truly fed up with being hurt again and again and is not giving any more chances.
In fact, they are so over it they don’t mind throwing in a joke about an autocorrect! Poor person has probably been through so much that a simple autocorrect is worth laughing at. Or maybe they’re just relieved they are finally out of the relationship.
From Jumping to Dumping
This one genuinely hurts to read! Who would have thought a simple autocorrect could lead to the end of a relationship!
All he was doing was try spice up their love life, and clearly, she was looking for a way out… we wonder if they ever got back together after their break.
Emoji Breakup
We’ve had texts, we’ve had pictures, we’ve had billboards, but now we also have emojis! This guy got pretty creative when he decided to end his relationship.
So creative that he managed to convey he wanted to break up through a series of emojis. Honestly, it’s pretty impressive if you ask me.
The Last to Know
This one seriously burns. The only thing worse than being broken up with is realizing everyone knows the news of your impending heartbreak before you!
Whoever this person was breaking the news, they couldn’t have been more heartless and even rubbed it in claiming ‘he hasn’t liked you for months.'
The Wrong Person to Ask for Advice
James needs to learn how to treat people, and rule number one is not to ask your girlfriend for advice on how to break up with someone and then use that advice on them- how mean can you get!
Besides for having seriously bad spelling, Cathy seems sweet and sensitive and we hope she finds a boyfriend who knows how to treat her right!
Ouch
This one is honestly pretty hilarious. Why she started dating Dan when she was ‘sexually repulsed’ is another question.
Although Dan needs to realize stating the sister of your girlfriend is hot is also a big no-no! these two both could do with improving on their relationship game.
Pinkie Promise
People react differently to heartbreak. Some take it well, some get into the depths of self-pity, and some just get outright angry.
It seems she was the angry kind and did not take very well to the ‘pinky promise’ that they could still remain friends…that’s what you get for dishing out heartbreak!
The Right Priorities
There’s so much to unpack in these texts. Firstly, the fact that this guy is clearly way more worried about the state of his Xbox than the state of his relationship.
Talk about having interesting priorities! At least he can sit and play on his beloved Xbox till the heartbreak wears off.
Too Smooth
We imagine this isn’t a real breakup, it's just so smooth!!! How can anyone break up with someone who is so smart?
We hope for their sake that she did get back with her ex and they lived happily ever after.
It’s the Hair
This guy seems to really have thought the breakup through, even the fact that she may call him ‘little Mormon boy’ (poor thing!)
But never mind the fact that his religious integrity is pushing him to rid himself of temptation, it’s totally her hairdo…
Speak English
In all honesty, if my boyfriend spoke to me with this kind of ridiculous spelling I wouldn’t think twice before breaking up!
You’re not paying for letters when you text, there is no need to reduce every single word. speak proper English bby!!
Thing Got Crazy
Apparently, Jeffrey has a drinking problem. How else can you explain this ridiculous case of mistaken identity!
Unless this girl has a twin or a doppelganger there is no way to explain how you sleep with someone and forget who.
Mourning Period
Kind of funny, kind of mean. When she couldn’t find her man, she seemed to take it to heart and get really angry.
Little did she know he was attending a funeral, for his feeling. May they rest in peace.
That’s Rough
This is definitely not the best way for a kind to find out about their parents impending divorce. We see a lot of therapy in this poor girl’s future.
At first, you think she is kicking her poor daughter out the house, then you realize she’s not abandoning her child, she’s kicking her husband out!
Blunt
It’s super blunt and insensitive, but it is also clever enough that you can’t help but let out a chuckle or two.
We imagine that this is either a joke, or they couldn’t have been going out for too long, but either way, it's super harsh!
Persistence
Some people are just unwilling to admit defeat. Like the person on the other end of this breakup. He or she is totally unwilling to let go!
We have to admire the persisting ‘nah’, but people also have to learn where to move on. Why would anyone want to be in a relationship with someone that wants to break up with them!
Serious Abandonment
There are some things you just do NOT do to people you care about. And I would say number one on that list is leaving your ex in Walmart after breaking up with them.
The evidence is overwhelming, people do not leave significant others in Walmart!! Well, I say good riddance.
Really, Kid?
Fathers are always extra protective of their daughters. So when Jonathan accidentally admitted to his girlfriends’ father that he cheated, things got real serious real fast.
But clearly, this kid has absolutely no concept of sensitivity and no idea how far fathers will go to protect their daughters! Just look at his comment!
Cheaters Get Caught
Honestly, it was only a matter of time until she got caught. I mean, she literally texted her boyfriend inside of her side squeeze!
Poor James actually played along for a bit, maybe just to get more evidence, but things for these two are clearly over.
Didn’t Go as Planned
This is just too good. He/she broke up with their ex in order to make them feel pain and got literally zero reaction.
So much so that they vow to break up with the again! Come to think of it, maybe this was just a really smart tactic to get a bit more time of their relationship.
Paid Off
Another breakup texts which landed in the wrong hands and nearly split up a family.
But it seems Amanda knows how to bargain and will happily stay quiet if her dad bribes her! talk about a corrupt family!
Serving You… A Breakup
Someone was serving their soon-to-be-ex a deliciously harsh truth.
While hearing “it’s not me, it’s you” might make the dumped fella extra bitter, we’re sure the sweet chocolate and blueberries combo could ease the pain.
A Priceless Breakup
Jennifer had a calculated approach to her breakup… Literally. If you ask us, her unfaithful husband really earned this priceless breakup.
Not only was the announcement put up on a billboard for the world to see, it appeared on the news! Talk about revenge.
Poor Car…
When this woman discovered her husband was cheating on her, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Specifically, she took a spray can into her own hands.
Imagine having to drive around town with this angry message sprayed onto the side of your car! We sure do hope she was worth it.
Bye Boo
We share almost everything on social media nowadays, every happy moment, every meal, every outfit… This girl clearly isn’t shy about how much she shares, including the end of her relationship.
Imagine her ex-boo finding out this way! It’s a bit harsh to broadcast the breakup through a Snapchat story. But kind of funny.
A Billboard Goodbye
Bindi clearly wanted to capture her philandering husband’s attention and she sure did.
Just as he apparently shared the evidence online for the world to see, so did she.
Testing it Out
You know, we get it, when you’re not feeling it anymore, it’s best to just let the person know.
But make sure it’s the right person or things can get awkward! When this guy sent the breakup message to a wrong number, he just seized the opportunity to test out how well he did.
Morning Announcement
When Paul was enjoying his routine drive to work, he certainly wasn’t expecting this.
What a way to find out you’ve been caught!
Busted!
This guy thought he could get away with his little lie, pretending he’s home in bed while secretly dancing it up at the club.
Too bad he didn’t notice his girl was there too, and totally busted him.
A Musical End
Justin Bieber’s hit song Baby sure struck a chord with a generation of teens.
So much so that this guy decided to use it on his ex as a last attempt to save things. Clearly, the lyrical attempt wasn’t as successful as he’d hoped, but it sure is funny.
She’s Not Wrong
Some guys really do love their online games. Maybe even more than they love their girlfriends?
