Desperate Times, Strange Measures

Love can make people do wild things, and for this Reddit user, heartbreak turned into cringeworthy creativity. After being dumped, she thought buying her ex-boyfriend a weirdly specific mug would win him back. Not chocolates, not a heartfelt letter—just a mug with a questionable message, hoping it would reignite their connection. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work, and it ended up making things even more awkward.

Looking back, it’s a classic case of desperation overriding logic. While her intentions may have been sweet, the execution was a little… off. Now, years later, she can laugh at how ridiculous the gesture was, but at the time, it felt like a serious move. Love makes us do strange things, but some choices are better left in the past—and this mug definitely belongs there.
