Then proceed to talk about how both of them were cheating on their boyfriends and who at the party they wanted to sleep with.” -Reddit user @System0falem0n

"Ex-boyfriend’s mom absolutely tearing me apart over the phone. Never met the woman, but she saw a picture of me with her son at a tailgate.
She didn’t like how blond my hair was or how I smiled with a closed mouth. Needless to say, I broke up soon after because her son wasn’t a great person."

“Freshman year in college, I wake up at 3 am to my roommate and her friend drunk whispering about me in the kitchen area. "She gets up too early, I hate how she doesn't go out on Fridays, so annoying," etc. If you had a problem with me as a roommate, tell it to me straight.
Preferably do this early in the semester, not the week before the term ends, so that I can adjust my habits and be a better roommate.” -Reddit user @thinkitsaredherring

"My then-boyfriend opened up our bedroom door to show me off to his friends while I was sleeping. It was the middle of summer, so I was lying butt naked on our bed. He thought I was asleep. A huge fight occurred the next morning, and we were not dating for long after that event. Wtf man.
I’m still pissed off about that. You knew I was naked." -Reddit user DreyaNova
