    My last girlfriend took all my band stickers that I had spent decades collecting.

    They’re of no monetary value, but they can’t be replaced.

    People get petty in breakups.

      My best friend broke up with his fiancee a month before the wedding.

      She moved out while he was at work. She took all the toilet paper, and left him 2 squares.

    My favorite part of this picture is the expressions on everyone else’s faces. It’s a nice mixture of “'I’m never getting these hours of my life back” and "hmmm, interesting choice, i wonder how they’ll counter that decision.

      “I’m still charging the full rate for this.” Muses the divorce lawyer.

      My dad took my mom’s Legos out of spite. It was one hell of a collection, she hasn’t -played- built any sets since then, despite my and her new spouses encouragement.

    This seems fantastically sad. Maybe it wasn’t that big of an emotional deal for them, but it triggers something.

    Interesting how 4 of the 6 audience members have more or less the same expression.
