TECHNOLOGY HAS made breaking up with your other half even harder – all those reminders of what used to be, floating about the internet – and public breakups can become even more public, as we see now.

Twitter user Kelly Keegs was sitting on a delayed flight in Raleigh, North Carolina yesterday evening when she heard the couple next to her getting into a very public, very heated argument.

Having nothing better to do, Kelly live-tweeted the whole thing. And her tweets are now going viral.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

First question: Who breaks up with someone ON A PLANE?!

Oh, this guy. This mean, mean guy.

@keegs141 Guy: "I just can't stand you. I can't be near you. I would switch seats if i could"

Things went quiet for a while, then the girl brought ‘Charlotte’ into play

Then, in just a few minutes, things took a surprising turn

What the fuck? Now they're making out. I'm not kidding

We took off, they immediately ordered SIX vodkas and Bloody Mary mix for the 50 minute flight and chugged them in silence between makeouts

We do not know (yet) whether the pair were happily back together by the end of their flight, but we do know that they desperately need to sort themselves out. In private.

This guy annoyed his girlfriend with puns at IKEA, and it was magnificent>
