A NOTE to all the future heartbreakers out there: If you’re going to dump your partner, it’s probably best to wait until you’ve stepped off your flight.

Take just a second to think about it. Firstly, you’re surrounded by snoopy strangers. OK, that doesn’t deter you? Think about the fact that your probably distraught ex will be stuck next to you in a confined and already unpleasant space. For hours. And they will want answers.

This is exactly what happened to one poor ex-couple who had their horribly awkward breakup — which started at Raleigh Airport in the US and continued into the sky — live tweeted in excruciating detail by a captivated onlooker.

“This is the greatest plane delay I’ve ever had,” the onlooker — New Yorker Kelly Keegs — said of the unexpected in-flight show.

Read the tweets and cringe.

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

Guy: "is this really a surprise? Are you seriously surprised at this information?" — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

Girl: "ITS JUST SO MEAN. DO I DESERVE THIS? WHY ARE TOU BRINGING THIS UP" — 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

The argument went on and on, with the woman accusing her ex of hating everything about her, saying that it was so easy for him to end it. Followed by lots of *loud sobs*.

He then told her to calm down to which she responded: “I thought this was going to go somewhere”.

Shortly later, she’d had enough: “You should probably just stop talking. Just stop talking!!”

Then, a plot twist:

"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

Wait, who’s Charlotte?

The guy refused to discuss things further, to which the woman responded by asking if she’s not worth his time. More emotional outpourings followed.

**silent sobs, lots of sniffling** — Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 24, 2015

But wait, there was another plot twist!

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

Will this couple work things out?
