In Friends, Chandler, who's notoriously picky about girlfriends before dating Monica, is worried that he maybe broke up with the love of his life because she pronounces "supposedly" as "supposebly." This works as a joke in the show because it's insane to think that someone might break up with an otherwise great person over something so small, but apparently, people do shit like this! A recent Ask Reddit thread asks users to reveal the pettiest reason they've broken up with someone, and there are some humdingers on this list. Here are the 21 best (or worst) ones.
