I heard this from a friend. Is there a phone number out there for people to give to their SO and
there would be an automated message telling them that the relationship is over.

like an automated "dumping" line.

Ditto. It's still fun to make fun of them, though.

LOL new career Minendo? I guess it beats tech support huh?

Anyways, I heard about that number on the radio a couple of weeks back, I forget what the number is, but they said the message was like "We are sorry but the person that gave you this number does not wish to speak with you ever again"

I think it would be fun. Plus it would really let me use my jackass personality to its fullest.

to do it in person

I don't know if it's the same thing, but they have numbers that you can give out to people you meet in bars that you don't want to give your home number to.

It'll tell them that they've received a number because the person who gave it to them doesn't want to speak to them. This is for weak people who are unable to use the words, "I'm not interested." :)

I remember hearing in japan that there are physical services like this. They go to the persons house and take out all of the SO's stuff, kick them out to the street corner and strong arm them into never coming back. It's like calling in the mob to break up with your girlfriend.

It's also used to kick kids out of the house.

Pretty crazy stuff.

They have PMs and IMs for a reason, fellas. ;)

Don't force us to be your automated relationship breakup service. :)

Actually, I think it follows by an automated counseling voice saying stuff like "there's more fish in the sea"

however, maybe I got it mixed up... It's probably along the line of a number you give to people that you don't really want to talk to

"Dude you're getting dumped."

Press 1 to hear this message again
Press 2 to hire an assassin to take care of the person who sent you this message.
Press 3 to be connected to live chat with recently dumped people

Shelly, I haven't heard on an automated breakup service, but someone post the link a while back to a service for like when a guy keeps bugging you for your number and you just want to get rid of him. You give them the number and they get a recording that says something like if you were given this number, the person who gave it isn't interested and don't bother them again.
