Has anyone ever actually thrown their DP/DH’s clothes out of the upstairs window during a break-up?

[Heatingsystemwoes]

AIBU to think this only happens on TV?
Same with cutting crotches out of trousers, cutting up suits and ties, spray painting his car etc...?
Just watched a film where the woman throws everything down from the window upstairs.
Do people do this? I’ve never seen anything like it IRL and wondered if it actually happens. What’s the worst you have seen/done?

A relative of mine took it one step further and cut up every single item of his clothing before lobbing it all out of the window.

He had to go and buy a whole new wardrobe.

We watched our neighbours do this a few years ago. She kept screaming he was a cheater in between throwing stuff. Eventually the police showed up.
My sister came home one day and found all her stuff on her boyfriends front lawn. She had to call my parents to help her move it all before it rained.

I used to work with a woman who cut one leg off all of her husband's trousers when he was asleep in bed. Every single pair. Same old story, he was cheating.

Yeah my neighbour. They were back together that afternoon. She is quite dramatic.

Yes I have. Partner of 12 and a half years had been cheating. I walked through the house and removed all his belongings and put them outside. When he arrived home I was on the upstairs rooms throwing his stuff out of the bedroom window. I didnt want him to gain access to the property by opening front door. I didn't realise at the time as I was so upset but, lots of drivers by where beeping their horns in support as they passed. Also a nosey neighbour got her deck chair out and a cup of tea to watch!

Not a partner but my mum used to do this to me and my brother lots when we were kids if she was pissed off with us. We'd come back from school and find the contents of our bedrooms had been flung out the window, mostly snashed/broken before she flung them out.

When I was young my Mum and Dad were having a huge argument about some woman he worked with and she threw his tv out of the upstairs window. His record collection too.

I heard a story years ago where someone found out their husband was cheating, so she took every bottle out of his expensive wine collection and put one on the doorstep of every house in the village. Then she cut one arm and one leg off all his expensive suits.

My male cousin was driving home and saw a fire in the distance. Arrived home and it was all his clothes on the fire. His wife thought he was cheating but in fact he was arranging a surprise party for her birthday. Hence the secret phone calls to the lady owner of a hall where the party was to be held.

Bloody hell! Did they reconcile afterwards and did the party go ahead?

Oh, I used to come home from school to find that had happened a lot.

She stopped once she realised I didn't actually give a shit anymore, as she'd destroyed the few things that meant something to me already.

My bf suddenly dumped me the day before we were due to go to his friends for the w/end. I rang them to apologise why I didn't go and they told me he had taken new gf instead!
He wanted his stuff back and said a friend would come and get it. I bagged it all up and left it next to the cat litter tray. It was aaaages before the friend came to get it, it may or may not have been a little soiled

No, but when dropping his shit off at his new flat I may have left everything with all the other bin bags on the pavement. I discovered he’d been cheating, I was also a complete surprise to his new girlfriend, so we together decided to dump his stuff.

The landfill was given some very expensive watches that day.

Tempted to throw dp out of an upstairs window sometimes. Never done it with clothes though.

I had a neighbour abroad that threw all the presents her rich boyfriend gave her through out the window. She was a medicine student and you can see medical equipment flying out of the windows. They eventually married and had family. I moved and have not idea what happened after that. Only know that he was a bit of an alcoholic and the rows were about cheating on her.

I threw DH's dirty shirts out of the bedroom window in the early days of our marriage. He didn't put them in the laundry basket and just left them where they lay when he took them off.

I'd asked nicely, I'd nagged and still he expected me to pick them up and wash them. He discovered that he didn't have a clean shirt for work and somehow thought I was responsible.

Out of the window they went. Only had to do it once.

We still laugh about it 50 years later.

Not out of a bedroom window no. But when I was 15 I cut up all my ex' trousers & packed them in a bag for him to come & collect & another ex I kicked him out after an argument & then threw all his clothes at him out the front door. Both horribly toxic relationships & I was very young.

No, I once gave some of my exes clothes to charity though.

@inigomontoyahwillcox this was the last of a few other jealous moments.
The party was cancelled and they split up a couple of months later.
She was the first to find a new partner which didn't last long because of her jealousy.

Lady across the road came home from work one afternoon to find her boyfriend had flung all hers and the children's belongings out of the windows, they were all over the street. He had also tried to lock her out but her landlord arrived and pointed out that she was the named tenant not him so he had to leave. Turns out there was no reason for it other than he was an abusive arsehole and she'd upset him by answering back to him about some non-issue before leaving for work that morning. They moved away not long after because he kept stalking her, last I heard through mutual acquaintances was that they got back together and not long after that he beat up her and the children

The other person I know who had it done to them was a relative. She split up with her husband and he threw her out, bagged up all her things and left them at the garden gate.

Mil cut one sleeve / trouser leg off fil's clothes. Everything.

It was erm, interesting, to see such a side to her. She poured boiling water over some of his favourite things too and chucked them into the
Drive.

Met a recent (at the time) ex at the pub to exchange things we'd left at each others. Draped on top of my box of stuff was a pair of knickers that definitely weren't mine. Confirming the cheating I'd left them over but that they vehemently denied. I dropped them in their drink.

My Mum's friend had to take on two cleaning jobs on top of her full time job, after her husband left her for a younger model, and left her with thousands of pounds worth of debt. She got up at 5am to do the first job, then worked all day, then had dinner before going out late evening to clean a large office. One Friday evening as she was walking home from her 3rd job, he drove past in his expensive sports car with his girlfriend. She went home, went to bed, set the alarm for 3am, Then got up, dressed entirely in black, took the keys she still had for his car, and some secateurs, opened his car, opened the bonnet and cut every wire she could find. Then she closed the bonnet, locked the car and went back and had the best sleep she'd had for months.
The next day he phoned her absolutely apoplectic with rage accusing her of doing it. She denied all knowledge, saying "I don't know what you're talking about. When the hell do you think I'd have done that? I haven't got the energy for a start. I work 3 jobs to pay off your debts. You'd better start looking around at your other enemies."

And if the genders were reversed?

My next door neighbour did, she was very drunk.

Yes, me.

I was ironing by the bedroom window when he came for his clothes so they were followed by the iron and the words 'Seeing as she's taking all your time and sexual energy, she can do your fucking ironing as well'.

The following week I had this conversation with my mum when she visited me -
mum - I was going to do your ironing but I can't find the iron
me - No, it got broken when I chucked it out of the window at Ian
mum - Oh, that's okay. I'll buy you a new one

And she did!
