Woman Live-Tweets This Couple's Insane Breakup On A Delayed Flight

A breakup happening in real time on Twitter is without a doubt the most interesting thing this great planet has to offer.

I will go on record saying the combination of the Grand Canyon, the Great Pyramid of Giza and Niagara Falls is less entertaining than this series of viral tweets chronicling a couple breaking up on an airplane.

It all started with Kelly Keegs tweeting this photo.

This guy on the plane just broke up w his girlfriend and she's SOBBING pic.twitter.com/IW9QVYxXdB — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 23, 2015

She then started sharing snippets of their breakup conversation.

Guy: "is this really a surprise? Are you seriously surprised at this information?" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
Girl: "Great. JUST GREAT. I'm so glad I paid 40 extra dollars to be on this fucking flight with you" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
Guy: I don't care. Girl: IM GLAD YOU DONT CARE — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

We've all been there. Lord knows we've all been there.

Girl: "ITS JUST SO MEAN. DO I DESERVE THIS? WHY ARE TOU BRINGING THIS UP" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
"I don't want to be this girl. I don't want to be her. I want to be my best for you and YOU WONT LET ME" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
"Is that what you're starting to do with me? Just slow fade me OUT? Just like the others?" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

Kelly took a second to appreciate the gift that had been given to her...

This is the greatest plane delay I've ever had — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

...then quickly went back to tweeting.

Girl: "you don't even understand why I'm FUCKING SAD. YOU HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
Girl: "Why is this so easy for you? It's just THAT FUCKING EASY? What do you want from me?" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
Guy: "You need to calm down" Girl: "To me I just really thought, you know, this was going to go somewhere" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
**loud sobs** — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

There was a small break in the action...

Very stoic few minutes pic.twitter.com/eyt4YDlEj3 — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

...then right back to breaking up.

Girl: "well what makes you so FUCKING SPECIAL?" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
Girl: "you should probably just stop talking. Just stop TALKING!!" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

A new mystery character was added to the drama.

"I'm going to ask Charlotte. I'm going to ask her the minute we get home and we'll see if your STORIES MATCH" (Omg scandal who's Charlotte?) — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
Guy: "I can't discuss this anymore." Girl: "so I'm not worth your time????" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
**silent sobs, lots of sniffling** — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

Then this random thing happened.

What the fuck? Now they're making out. I'm not kidding — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

And all of a sudden, everything was peaches and cream again.

We took off, they immediately ordered SIX vodkas and Bloody Mary mix for the 50 minute flight and chugged them in silence between makeouts — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

The whole Internet was seemingly watching this story unfold. It even started trending on Twitter.

Annnnnd now #PlaneBreakup is trending. Hey @keegs141 remember the little people when you go to Hollywood ok? pic.twitter.com/9VzahjfeCW — The Mick (@TheNJMick) August 24, 2015

Kelly made two post-breakup observations since the conversation went viral.

Every time I open Twitter my phone freezes because of the mentions. Now I know how @onedirection must feel. #PlaneBreakup — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015
I hope all 7k of my new followers like drunk tweets about wine and Netflix — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

The major lesson to take away from this is don't break up on a plane or the whole Internet will know.

Also, WHO IS CHARLOTTE?!?!
