Being dumped is a deeply personal experience that has the capacity to stay with you years after the initial stab to the heart.
Jimmy Fallon knows this, which is why he decided to find out the very worst ways people have been dumped in the name of good content.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Showhost posted a tweet asking his followers to share their stories using the hashtag #HowIGotDumped.
It’s Hashtags time! Tweet out a funny or embarrassing way that you or a friend got dumped and tag it with #HowIGotDumped. Could be on the show!

To help people tap into their darkest memories of heartbreak, the dad-of-two shared his own experience.
In high school I asked the girl I thought I was dating, “What do you want to do for Valentine’s Day?” and she said, “I already have plans.” #HowIGotDumped

Brutal.
What followed was a series of tweets that incite a vast range of emotions, from unadulterated joy and pure pity to to an anger you didn’t know you could muster.
We went to a Mets game and the kiss cam went on us. I leaned in and instead of giving me a kiss, he leaned in and said “we’re done”, got up, and left. #howigotdumped

#HowIGotDumped by my first high school boyfriend was pretty typical, the usual “it’s not me it’s you” stuff. Except it sounded too familiar. After he left I looked through my copy of New Moon and found he had almost verbatim quoted Edward’s breakup speech to Bella.

My first boyfriend set a small fire in the field behind my house to get me to dump him. When I told him he was an idiot, but didn’t end it, he told me it was over because he “couldn’t be with someone who didn’t take fire safety seriously” #HowIGotDumped

My boyfriend took me to the movies & once we sat down he left to get us popcorn and never came back. 25 mins later I got a text and said ‘I can’t do this. I’m breaking up with you’. He was my drive too. I had to call my parents to come get me after the movie #HowIGotDumped

She told me to take out the trash and locked the door while I was outside. #HowIGotDumped

I told my girlfriend my flight was delayed to come home for her birthday and she told me that once I got back it’d be best if I didn’t come #HowIGotDumped

#HowIGotDumped He said his mother didn’t want him seeing me anymore because she didn’t like my dad. When I asked my dad about it, he said she didn’t like him because he had dumped her back in high school. Love you dad!

#HowIGotDumped I tried to break up with a guy 4 years ago. When I started to dump him, he said “We’ll talk about this later” and rushed away. I haven’t talked to him since so I guess we’re still dating?

And then, there wasthis guy.
I’m trying to think of funny ways how I got dumped but then I realized that I’ve never been in a relationship #HowIGotDumped
