Tech service of the week?

Our tech service of the week comes right at the…right time? No, it’s not a Happy Holidays App, although maybe some people might think of it that way?

It’s called The Breakup Shop and it will break up with your partner for you. For cash, obviously. You can pay between $10-$40 depending on the service, be it text, email, phone or handwritten letter. The breakup content is either written by you or provided.

Once the company has broken up with your partner for you, they offer said partner the opportunity to buy from their gift shop – items like Netflix Gift Cards, or chocolate.

Apparently it’s a way of stopping the ever prevalent ‘ghosting’ technique that recent generations have become used to.  You know, when people you’re dating disappear. But really, don’t ghosts appear? Isn’t that their thing? Like, why they’re scary?

Sorry. Got sidetracked. Ghosts are scary. BUT ghosting is a way to get out of a relationship or a courtship by pretending the other person doesn’t exist anymore. Aziz Ansari talks about it a lot and it’s funny, but in real life, it’s douchey*.

So, these guys figure that instead of being a douche, just let them break up with your person instead! Less douchey? The jury’s out.

If you want to try it out, go here! They’re also hiring heartbreakers! Let us know how it goes! Unless… are you breaking up with us?

* Is it just us or does the word douchey when written sound like douch-AY in your head too?
