What not to do when someone has just broken up with a partner/husband/wife/animal
-When replying to their outburst of emotion where they tell you they've broken up with their other half DO NOT stand there in an awkward silence before proceeding to pat them on the shoulder and offer them comfort by saying the words ''My condolences'' because apparently this is out of context and should only be used if someones dead. Also try not to bow slightly whilst saying those dreaded words. .
-If a person has just broken up with a boyfriend right in front of you there is a window of opportunity in which you are able to move in. This window does not open as soon as he walks away, even when you lay your cards on the table that you have a still valid 2 for 1 Orange Wednesdays offer.
-Offer them advice on staying strong and getting back in the game which inevitably goes off on a tangent concluding with them hypothetically dying of loneliness.
