A man going through a bad breakup dealt with it in a very public, if not truly creative, way.

German eBay user der.juli posted photos of items including a television, a laptop and even a car cut completely in half as a way to get revenge on his now ex-partner.

The man went as far as to put together a video montage of him cutting the items (a smartphone, a chair and a bed) in half so the Internet could witness his resentment.

The video titled, “For Laura,” opens with a message in German reading, “Thank you for 12 ‘beautiful’ years, Laura!!! You’ve really earned half.”

It concludes with the words, “Greetings to my successor.”

The cut-in-half items are technically up for sale, though what a buyer would do with half a teddy bear remains unclear.
