Dating is tough. You never know who you might run into.

Most importantly, you never know how are you going to react to some of their flaws (which aren't exactly flaws but still annoy you). Do you want a boyfriend who walks on his toes?

Maybe you're looking for somebody who always smells like cooking oil? Or perhaps you want a partner who never uses pillowcases?

Well if you said yes to any of the above, then you're in luck because as you can see from this hilarious list of reasons that people deserved a breaking up, all of these folks are currently leading a single life!

The following post list some of the most amusing and strange reasons why people have opted to break up with someone. One Redditor asked: "What's the pettiest reason you've rejected someone?"

We bet they didn't expect so many weird and funny answers. Although we must admit that some of them are pretty legit.

Like, for instance, you can't really be happy with a person who has the same name as one of your parents... We have compiled a list of the pettiest reasons people ever broke up, and we know you will find it amusing.

Might even remind you of some of your breakups. Let's take a look:

Well, do you relate to these stories? One question arises - how did these people break up?

What did they list as a reason? The truth, or did they make something up? We guess it's the second option.

Because the truth would probably make them look a bit weird. And they wouldn't want that, right?
