1. I pity you. It is amazing.
2. It is a show about people who are dating absolutely disgusting jerks who cheat on them regularly, fake tan too much, and flex their muscles 24/7. These people bring their toolish boyfriends on the show in hopes of changing them and saving their relationship. There's a therapist and ridiculous challenges and one tool is eliminated every week.

Anyways, THREE TIMES this season (I think) the tool has actually dumped the girlfriend! These poor girls- or maybe I should say stupid girls- have put up with these morons who go around claiming to be single, cheating all the time, and caring more about their hair gel than anything else. Instead of dumping their asses like they should have done years ago, the girlfriends actually give them chance upon chance and continue to love them. And then the tools turn around and dump THEM!? On national television?? How horribly humiliating.
Then, I started to realize that I have been dumped the best way EVER in the history of breakups. I mean- looking back, I'm not even embarassed- it cracks me up. First off, it wasn't a real relationship in any sense of the word. It was 7th grade and I was madly in love with Kevin, a super-cute, skinny kid who sat behind me in math class. We were friends and we'd hung out before, and finally I decided to ask him out. Yes, I was truly a girl of the 90's. So I asked him out (probably in note form- I don't remember), he said yes, and so we were boyfriend and girlfriend. What did that mean? Well, nothing. I don't think we ever actually went out alone
or even touched. It was 7th grade!
or even touched. It was 7th grade!But about a week later, in the middle of math class, Kevin hands me his calculator. It was one of those TI-83 fancy shmancy graphing calculators that you could write words on. One of thse dealies:
And written in tiny calculator letters across the screen, it says:
I DON'T THINK THIS IS WORKING OUT.
I remember laughing because I didn't know what he was talking about at first. Then I remember my tiny 7th grade heart shattering into pieces. So what did I do? I typed "OK" into the calculator and handed it back.
So yeah, I was dumped ON A CALCULATOR.
Pretty awesome, huh? I can't really think of a better way to get dumped than on a calculator. It's just the most absurd thing ever. It would be like going out to eat with someone and writing in ketchup on your plate: "It's not you- it's me." Just ridiculous.
Someone out there must have a better breakup story than me, though. I want to hear them all! Spill your guts!

I actually have a really funny dumping story. When I was just about to turn 16 I feel in love with this super expensive pony. We're talking like 15K alright. Well I was begging and pleading with my father and he being the AMAZING man that he is came back with a rather ingenious idea. I could have the pony if I dumped my boyfriend so I could have enough time to dedicate to the pony. HAHA. Great job dad! I dumped that gangly boy so fast.
You got to love the fancy-smancy calculator nerds... LOL! I bet he is still kicking himself for thinking it wouldn't work out - even to this day.
I've only been dumped a couple times - I rarely make it past the "laughed in my face" rejection stage.
I was "dumped" once when I got a wedding invitation - I was away on a business trip for a month and she found and married someone else.
Oh well.
This is so hilarious! Definitely one of the best break up stories I have ever heard!
I am sure I have told you about Rich, a guy who was 2 years younger than me, got kicked out of high school, kicked out of 3 places he was living, went to jail twice for stealing 2 cars....and then he broke up with me. Really, I should have been on that TV show. He came to my house and said he couldn't be with me because...and then listed 23 reasons why we needed to break up, including because I am close with my family, like to read and like to watch Meet the Press and Face the Nation on Sunday mornings.
He was a winner.
THAT WAS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!
great story
thanks for sharing
A wee note written on the paper of a roll and chips with brown sauce and pickled onions, when at school; "I think we should take a wee break, here is your favourite lunch to make up for it". My one and only time of getting dumped; my heart broke but I tried to eat the roll nonetheless...I couldn't finish it. Sniff.
Yours is better though. :O)
I had this super-thuggish boyfriend break up with me through my best friend. He started dating her....so she broke the news. Dammit.
I also had a guy break up with me through his grandma. She came into the house while we were makin' out and chased me off with (literally) a rolling pin.
I've NEVER been dumped. Now, this miiiight be because I'm amazing (let's be honest, this is why). OR it miiiight be because I've never had a serious relationship. My entire love life is a string of glorious one (multiple) night stands or friends with benefits. Ahhhh the single life.
PS. When I do need to break up with someone in the future I'm totally using the calculator method. Classic.
Oh my GOD! What an effwit! Dumped on a calculator? I'd like to say I could top that... but I can't!
I have to agree - pretty hard to top the calculator. At least it makes for a funny story now, but your poor little 7th grade heart probably never thought you could look back and laugh about it.
No way. You'd have to get dumped in, like, sky writing to top that.
OMFG - You complete me. I'm not even kidding. Your blog comments make me giddy (and possibly pee myself a little) - and this, possibly the most awesome break up story ever. EVAH.
What an awesome story (sorry about the heartbreak of it all though). It could have been worse though:
YOU - ME = YOUR NEW REALITY
ME + YOUR BEST FRIEND = MY NEW RELATIONSHIP
1 + 1 = 2. EXCEPT IN YOUR CASE.
I once had to dump my roommate's bf for her...
It's the weekend and I hear a knock on the door, and it's my roommate's ex-bf (who she had dumped yesterday) here to pick up his plumbing snake. I hand him the snake and he looks at me, crestfallen and confused, and asks: "Why hasn't A(abbreviated because I want to live) been returning my calls?" He then explains how he played hockey last night, sustained a concussion and doesn't remember most of yesterday.
So...I had to diplomatically explain to him that she broke up with him and didn't want to hear from him again...
I could see his heart breaking second by second. Never will I do that again. He was a nice guy and had season tickets to the Penguins...
