We respond to our exes in various ways. Oftentimes they are hilarious and sometimes brutal. The people on this list are no different. Whether theyโre texts out of the blue or receiving odd gifts from your once significant other, these scenarios are bound to spark a reaction.
On this list, nobody is safe! But theyโre quite funny.
1) People change
That is definitely one way to fix an old problem. Itโs often said that itโs never a good idea to get a loverโs name or portrait tattooed. But of course, to each its own.

2) Miss you
This isโฆ straighforward. Hereโs one way of putting any uncertainity to rest on whether your ex wants to get back together or not. I think not.

3) Fixed
After coming across a 10yr old photo of his brotherโs ex-wife and his ex in it, he decided to work a little magic. What a difference Photoshop can make. Itโs like they never existed.

4) Hey, Petty!
This is perhaps quite cruel and mildly funny. Okay, itโs hilariously cruel. I wonder what messages she received from her ex that day!
This girl I used to go out with is still using my Netflix and that's cool. She's watching Scandal and is currently on S7E12. Series finale is S7E18. Guess who's changing her password as soon as she gets to episode 17? Yep, it's Petty Labelle.

5) All that matters
Thanks for the reassurance. I feel more powerful than ever now. Bye!

6) She tried it
Well, that backfired. So, she just bought herself some gifts and sent a photo to her ex boyfriend? What was she going for exactly? His response was very appropriate.

7) Grandma knows best
Grandma loves photos of her grandchildren. But her granddaughterโs exโฆnow thatโs a different story.

8) Lock your doors
So, is he planning on selling the toilet on ebay or something? How petty is this? Did he take all of her toilet paper too?! This has โpsychoโ written all over itโฆ

9) It took some time
This guyโs ex wanted his wii back. So he wrapped everything tightly using excessive straps and hard-to-open thick plastic. To top it off, he sprinkled several layers of glitter inside the package.

10) Tell me youโre joking
This canโt be accurateโฆ can it? Supposedly, a man moved next door to his ex-wife and put up this statue. Why waste the time and money?

11) Hand it over
When you get a divorce and donโt have a prenupโฆ I guess itโs her toast now.
This is great photoshopping skills.

12) Me too!
They probably are as well! It looks like they got a kick out of it since they decided to share it. At least you know you crossed their mind.

13) The signs were thereโฆ
This guy claims to have run into his ex at a store. Too bad he didnโt notice some things the first time around. Might have saved himself the trouble.

14) $10 to erase your past
This woman charged $10 (now $15) to those who want their exโs removed from old photos. Needless to say, business is booming. Weโll share a few more in further slides.

15) Smile through the pain
Oh you know, just hunting in my exโs wedding dress.
Backstory: his ex had an affair with another man and proceeded to leave him and their two kids. Since then, heโs written a book of all of the things he does in his exโs dress.

16) โIs that all you think of me?!โ
Ouch! I donโt think anybody would want to be on the receiving end of that post.
โIโm more than a sponge!โ

17) Donโt text me EVER again
This just might be funnier than it needs to be. Right on, sister! Some people are better left in the past.

18) Itโs been worse
Good riddance to this guy. At least it backfired. From the looks of it, he seems pretty awful.

19) In a galaxy far, far awayโฆ
There lived my ex. And Iโm glad that theyโre far, far away so that I never have to see them. Ever again.

20) Is that a yes or no?
Thereโs no misinterpreting this message. I recommend going away and then staying there.

Instagram/@textsfromyourex
21) Better options
Moving on tastes pretty good. Itโs better to vacay alone anyway. Besides, that burrito looks really tasty. It may not be arm candy but itโll do.

22) Some things never happened
Sheโs at it again! The second photo looks so much better than the first. Who says you canโt rewind the hands of time?

23) Birthday treats
This manโs ex-wife still gives him gifts on his birthdayโฆ good to see that theyโre on good terms. At least, in comparison to these other couples.

24) The last laugh
She takes the cake! Looks like she got the car after the divorce. The license plate really rubs it in.
Source:
reddit/Jahmay
25) Swing and a miss
Short and to the point. I think theyโve made it pretty clear that talking to you is the last thing they want to doโฆ

Bored Panda
26) Heart of stone and ice
When you find your exโs heart out in the blistering cold, do you return it? Maybe not. But you can showcase it to the world.

27) Fore!
Get that mess outta here! Sheโs speaking Emoji which a lot of todayโs kids are fluent in. Make no mistake, itโs definitely a message of rejection.
Source:
Instagram/@textsfromyourex
28) Straight to the point
Yikes! I think itโs time to move on. Lose the number and never look back! There is no underlying message here!

29) That was fast
Sometimes plans just changeโฆ in secondsโฆ oh so conveniently. It happens. His questions were just the perfect setup.

30) Mom knows best
Mom swoops down for the win! Some parents canโt seem to stay out of their childrenโs relationships. In this case, it works.

31) By accident
So this guy attended a party where his ex was also in attendanceโฆ with her new boyfriend. Itโs unclear whether he knew that she would be there or not. Unfortunately for him, he didnโt quite get the support of the readers on Redditโฆ

32) Please, let go
Welp, apparently it wasnโt difficult to let go for one of them. They have already moved on. Undoubtedly, for good.

33) Nailed it
This personโs uncle thought itโd be a good idea to dress up as the scariest person he knew for Halloweenโฆ his ex-wife! Thatโs some dedication. Not bad, sir!

34) Whoโs keeping count?
Everyone, of course. And rightfully so. Just check out this poor young ladyโs list. Yikes.

35) Weirdo Joe
Pretty sure you dodged a bullet with that one! It can be odd when an ex comes back into your life with something like thisโฆ particularly after youโve spent significant time apart.
https://twitter.com/greenbeangrrl/status/998692002676944896
36) Loser
After buying their exโs glasses, they had them engravedโฆ how thoughtful. Or petty.

reddit/livingdeadly
37) Perfect timing
Some exโs just have better timing than others. This is an example of an ex reaching out at the perfect time. Way to make yourself available.
38) Itโs a steal
Itโs like he was never there. $15 buys you an entirely new past. Have any loose change?
The price went from $10 to $15 as demand grew.

Twitter/@bramflake
39) Not really a โwinโ
I think this message comes across pretty loud and clear. Sheโs the devil! But then again, sheโs still on youโฆ

40) Fail
This might not have went as planned. His ex-wife sent him a pizza. Who wouldnโt want a free pizza? This guy looks pretty happy with it. Nice try though.

41) End of conversation
Well, thatโs that. Iโm sure civil conversation didnโt follow after this burn.
Source:
Instagram/@ex_texts
42) How low can you go?
This guy took photos of himself and his wife and placed them on checks so that everytime he sent an alimony check to his ex-wife, she would see the happy couple. Ouch.
Source:
reddit/smashley951
43) That hurts
When the baby doesnโt have love for you, nobody does. Slowly inhale and accept that you are no longer a part of this personโs life. At least you sort of got a peek.
Source:
Instagram/@textsfromyourex
44) I changed my mind
Yeah, never mind. Iโm no longer here. Joey clearly is bad news.
Source:
Instagram/@textsfromyourex
45) Moods
When a complete stranger approaches you at the barโฆ things can get weird. Whatโs more crazy is that his friend proceeds to buy her a drink! Yeah, sheโs got this.

46) Just maybeโฆ
Maybe theyโre still on speaking terms? Maybe she got a kick out of this text? Or maybe she went over to his house and lived up to the name of the showโฆ

47) So Hollywood
Somebody needs to take it down several notches. Why waste negative energy when thereโs a new venture ahead? But her response is classic. So witty and tasteful.

48) A gift for you
Wow, some people will go until they canโt anymore. How unfortunate for them. Too bad there werenโt any chocolates.

49) To each their own
This is an interesting way of doing thingsโฆ why not sell it for what itโs worth? If not, just donate it to a thrift store.

50) Itโs taken care of
You would have never thought that there was another person in the photo. Sometimes moving on requires removing people.
Source:

51) โDonโt dateโฆโ
So yeah, itโs good sheโs no longer with this guy. Interesting way to get back at him though. Perhaps she sent it to his mother. That would be a boss move.
Source:

52) Taken
Talk about poor timingโฆ it looks like her new boyfriend isnโt having it. And it looks like the ex received the message loud and clear.

53) Lights out
He captioned the photo, โJust returned my ex to the store.โ
Yikesโฆ I take it things didnโt end well between the two of them? Yeah, thatโs a k.o.

54) Signed, Taylor
Her ex was bitter about their breakup and began referring to her as Taylor Swift. You donโt want to go that route, buddy. Just look at her exesโฆ

57) Buh, bye
Something tells me that this person tried to continue this conversation. Something else tells me that it didnโt go well. Like, at all.

58) The king of gamesโฆ
This guy found the perfect gift to send his ex. I think a lot of people would find this handy.

59) Words of wisdom
You said it! Itโs the best and healthiest thing one can do. Thereโs so much more to life than revenge.
Just one moreโฆ
