What’s the most trivial reason you ever heard for dumping someone?

Dear Ms. HeartBeat:
I dumped a girl I was dating for what people told me was a super stupid reason and told me I was petty and that my excuse was trivial. I wanted to know what you thought was the most trivial reason someone has ever dumped someone? What kinds of things have come across your advice column?

Signed,
Frank

Dear Frank:
This question is problematic for one key reason – what the rejected one is going to perceive as “trivial” could be very important to the one who did the rejecting.

For instance, I might dump a guy for being late to dates. Since time isn’t important to him (obviously), that would seem a trivial reason from his perspective, whereas I am fed up with waiting around wasting my time and feeling disrespected. Like I don’t have anything better to do than get dressed up and sit around waiting for your butt for an hour or more? PAH LEEZE!

That’s just one example that immediately came to mind, but it should give you an idea that there really is no way to answer this question.
