There are plenty of serious reasons to end a relationship, and plenty of reasons that seem minor at first. But if things can't be unseen...well, sometimes that's the end of that.
Redditor u/scotty_puff_jr polled the masses: "What's the pettiest reason you've rejected someone?"
Some responses are understandable and some a little suspect, but it's probably safe to say these couples weren't meant to be. Check out the top answers below!
1."His name was Phil. My name is Lil."

2."He used too many exclamation points."
3."I was 13 and had been dating a girl for about 2 months. We were playing Jenga, and I noticed that she only drew from the middle, never once from the sides. It made me feel like she was timid and boring."

4."She had the same name as my mom. I just…couldn’t."
