We’ve all got a story or two about an ex we’d rather leave in the past—and our readers didn’t hold back. They shared some jaw-dropping, cringe-worthy, and downright hilarious stories of exes who are best forgotten.
1.
After we broke up, I was at a bar with friends when I spotted my ex. I sent him a drink with a note that said, “Cheers to the memories!” He shot back with a note, “Cheers to my next victim!”
Suddenly, he jumped up and began karaoke-ing our breakup song off-key, and the whole bar erupted in laughter. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, he pulled out a cardboard cutout of me, claiming it was his “emotional support ex.”
As he tried to throw it at me, he accidentally knocked over a table instead. The bartender handed me a free drink, saying, “Here’s to surviving your nightmare!” By the end of the night, we had both become the stars of the show, and I left feeling like I’d dodged a bullet!

He knocked over a table with a piece of cardboard lol
My ex hacked into my Google Calendar and added a bunch of random, embarrassing events titled things like “Cry Session,” “Remember You’re Alone,” and “Rejection Practice.” Very creative, but it felt like a daily reminder of my heartbreak!
After a week I got an invite to a “Self-Care Workshop” hosted by none other than my ex. Curious, I clicked the link and discovered he was running a virtual seminar on emotional healing, using the very events he’d added to my calendar as discussion points!

My ex gave me this vintage silver locket. After we broke up, I tossed it in a drawer.
A year later, my new bf found it while cleaning. “Why don’t you wear it? It’s nice,” he said, handing it to me. Curious, we pried it open, expecting nothing, but inside was a small, brittle note and a tiny lock of hair.
The note read: “So you’ll always be with me.” The hair? It was mine.

My ex knew my favorite parking spot in front of my building and somehow managed to get a sign installed that read ’Reserved for [his name].’ Every time I tried to park there, I’d have to see his name on the sign. It was so absurd that even my neighbors got a laugh out of it. Eventually, the sign was removed, but I’ll never forget that weird, petty gesture.
The story doesn’t end here – it continues on the next page.
