It's about to get messy, y'all! Members of the BuzzFeed Community and Reddit shared the pettiest reasons they've ever broken up with somebody...and they're A LOT. Here are 19 of the best (worst?) reasons why:

1."I called it quits with a guy I had been dating for three weeks because I literally had to teach him how to boil water. He was 29 at the time. And a civil engineer."

2."It was too hard to park by her apartment."

11."I have an iPhone, and I can’t be with a guy who has an Android, because I can’t stand the green texts."

"I've been in the 'talking' stage with different people and try to give them a chance, but those green texts just get to me, and I eventually just stop talking to them."

12."Every time I touched her, I would smell of egg. Held hands? Egg. Hugged her? My shirt would smell of egg. Strangest bit was, she didn't smell like that whatsoever. When I broke it off, the egg smelling stopped."

13."I once broke up with a guy because he said John Mayer is the greatest musician of our generation.”

15."She scraped her teeth on her utensils when she ate. I just couldn't."

16."I broke up with a guy because I couldn’t remember how to tell him apart from his twin. I constantly 'cheated' on him with his brother."

"In fairness, his twin and I had recess together and I only saw my boyfriend in the hallway. This about was second grade. I don’t remember his name, but I remember his twin’s name 30+ years later."— sexyfart

17."Once I broke up with someone cuz his feet were like Hobbit feet."

"He had long, yellow nails, really long hair poking out of his sandals, and hard yellow skin all over the heels. Total ick."

18."I once ended it with a guy I went on a few dates with because he always had eye boogers."

"I could not look at them anymore and saw a future of me telling him to clean his eyes."

19.And finally, "On the second date, the guy quoted the entirety of the Bee Movie. He was 24."
