Whether you left things on good terms with your ex or bad, there is bound to be some residual feelings leftover. It’s almost inevitable that one day you will feel your phone vibrate, only to check it to find a new text waiting from your scorned lover. It is them trying to claw their way back into your life. However, everyone knows that it is a bad idea to encourage that.

It’s best to follow the strategy that these people used. Their brutal responses to their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends are nothing short of incredible. They say everything that needs to be said, succinctly, and in a hilarious fashion. Their amazing words will have you cracking up with laughter. We know we were. When you are dealing with an ex, there is only one way to respond — brutally.

1. Missed Call

This woman sent a text to her ex-boyfriend just to let him know that she called. She thought that he must have accidentally missed it. However, he confirmed otherwise.

2. Old Memories

You can reminisce over the past, but it’s a bad idea. Some things just aren’t meant to be. It’s best to remember the good times for what they were — fleeting moments in time.

3. Two Bullets

This one is pretty harsh, but it gets the point across rather well. It’s clear that the ex is no longer wanted in this person’s life at all. They would rather chill with a terrorist and a dictator than their former lover.

4. Misinterpreted Typing

This guy got his hopes up that his ex-girlfriend was about to send him a message. However, she shut the conversation down very quickly. He didn’t even stand a chance.

First, the woman pretended like she had a new phone to discourage her ex-boyfriend from contacting her. When that didn’t work, she had to try something else. She decided to use the playing dead strategy.

Here we have the classic cheater apology. The ex hates the consequences of his actions. However, he doesn’t hate himself for what he did. Luckily, the woman had a great response to his nonsense.

8. Going Great…

This was the moment that the ex ruined the woman’s day. She simply let him know the truth — when he contacted her, things took a turn for the worst. Everything was good up until that point.

9. Hilarious Translations

This woman didn’t acknowledge the man’s insults. In fact, she didn’t even understand them. She had to run them through Google translate to figure out the real meaning.

10. Emoji Language

11. Angry Baby

This man is not pleased that he got cut out of the baby’s life. However, it is his new reality and he needs get used to it. Even the baby is still upset at him for his past actions.

19. Big Misspelling

If you are going to beg your ex to get back together with you, you should at least try to spell their name right. That’s what this guy learned. He made a crucial error in his plea.

20. Just Checking In

It’s obvious that this man still hasn’t gotten over his ex’s cheating. He was very hostile when she contacted him, and for good reason. Cheating once is bad enough, but cheating with multiple people is even worse.

21. Photography Fail
