Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Possibly the only worst way to break up with someone is to just start ignoring them.

I chose other and here's how:

Embarrassing would be the least of it. In fact, it's so bad, it would embarrass your intelligence. First, you gotta get a landlocked SO (the Midwest is a great place to start, but not IL, IN, or WI as they're near the Great Lakes) then.... note in a bottle, baby. Disappear and have a vague sense of hope that it will someday reach your former sweetheart.

Once you realize the folly of your ways, you'd never date again.

I agree the only thing that can be added is that they start hanging out with someone else all the time.

In St Louis a guy had caught his girl cheating on him. Before he found out he was getting ready to purpose to her and she had already found the ring. So he called the local radio 105.7 The Point and told them. they called her on Valentine's Day and acted like he was going to purpose to her. they said he has a question for you ... When he finally started talking he said "How long will it take to get your stuff out of my house. You have until Sunday." she flipped out started crying and the whole thing played out over the air. If you search for the clip I am sure you can find it.

tl;dr On valentine's day live on the radio.

How about in a voice mail...
Haha that's what happened to me/because we lived to far away from each other (was the reasoning).
Rather than embarrassing, that was the easiest b/u I've ever had to go through!
I didn't really want to date the kid anyway and he did the dirty work for me I didn't even have to call back!

I had to be out of town for my girlfriend's birthday. I sent flowers and then called when I knew she'd be off work. When she answered I could hear a man was with her. When I asked her who was there she hesitated and finally said,"Yeah, I'm moving on. I'm sorry."

I've broken up with a guy via text, but it was because I was unable to do it in person without crying and asking him to take me back. It was a little bit of an abusive situation, and that is why I couldn't do it face to face.

The second one, I broke up with via email. this was because he left and wouldn't be coming back for a year...and didn't leave on a pleasant note.
