Everybody knows how difficult it is to end a relationship, but some manage to do it with dignity and grace. Bless those people and their hearts.

On the other end of the spectrum, though, there's this man who was seen on a Sydney train with a 'brutal' note written on his hand.

We bet he didn't mean to start a big fuss on social media, but thanks to radio host Emma Chow, he did.

The unidentified man was spotted on the train with the words 'Send breakup email' scribbled on the back of his left hand.

While he was scratching his neck, breakfast radio host Emma Chow secretly filmed him and posted the clip to TikTok with the phrase 'don't forget to break up with her'.

On their radio program, RnB Fridays, on The Edge 96, the Sydney media personality and her co-host Mike E criticised the 'gutless' behaviour live on air.

'I had to take a video of this because I couldn't quite believe this guy had written this note on his hand,' Emma told her co-host.

'Firstly, how embarrassing. Secondly, unbeknownst to her, this poor girl is going to get broken up with, and it's just going to land in her Gmail and be like, “I don't want to be together anymore”.'

Her co-host Mike was quick to jump to the man's defence and point out that an email is considerably longer than a text message.

According to the host, writing an email would give the man more room to explain why he was quitting his relationship with the unidentified, soon-to-be ex-girlfriend.

While her co-host was defending his opinions, Emma was having absolutely none of it.

'Say it to her face or say it on the phone at the very least,' she said. 'That is gutless; you cannot send an email to someone to break up with them.'

​

Followers of the radio show's TikTok page were divided and had mixed feelings about the now-viral video, which has been seen more than 1.5 million times on the platform.

Several users who agree with Chow commented and said, 'This is the most heartless way to break up with someone.' A second person added, 'That's brutal…'

'Girl is better off without him,' said a third.

While some were sceptical, others were more willing to give the man the benefit of the doubt.

'Maybe there's a reason he's got to do it over email rather than in person,' wrote one user in the comments. 'You can't judge him if you don't know him,' added another.

A third even pointed out that he didn't even deserve the backlash he was getting. 'We can all see an image of someone, make up the context, and form a judgement on them,' she said.

Even though Chow herself isn't exactly clear about what the context of the handwritten note is, plenty of other people have provided their views and opinions.

Some readers noted that the 'break up email' reminder doesn't refer to 'her' or 'him,' suggesting that it might be a completely different kind of reminder.

'It's a sales term. You send a breakup email to a potential customer that's not returning a call or email,' suggested one user.

A second agreed and added: 'Could be organising a work break up,' with a third joining and saying, 'There is a reason why people should mind their own business on public transport. The poor guy probably works in sales, and now he is being shamed here.'

Let's just cross our fingers that the man's coworkers were just getting a friendly reminder about their job and his partner's not receiving a ruthless relationship breakup email any time soon!

What do you think about this story, folks? Let us know in the comments!

I think Emma Chow should mind her own business and find something else to talk about on her radio show. P. how presumptious to assume the recipient would be a woman

 

[Suzanne rose]

What right did Emma Chow have to film this man, this is actually illegal.

She should never have assumed that the message on his hand was what she was assuming.

What a nosy lady.

A couple years ago on my way to work , it was 8am on a Saturday morning I was sitting downstairs in the first seat , when a young man got on at Mascot station.

He sat on the steps and was ranting and raving how his girlfriend broke up with him and wouldn't let him see his son.

He was talking about ending his life that it wasn't worth living.

I was so surprised that people moved from the downstairs area.

I ended up talking to him saying his life was worth more than he knew

I told him there was always hope and maybe it wasn't too late to fix things with his girlfriend.

I told him atm he was upset but I promise he will see things different even after a good sleep.

He came and sat next to me and we talked. I gave him my son inlaws number he is a young pastor.

Unfortunately I had to get off at Town hall but I left that train knowing he had calmed down.. He hadn't slept and he promised he was going home to sleep.

He asked me for a hug which I gave him and he said thank you.

As I was leaving the train a couple of people said to me good on you for doing that and thank you. I replied I did it because I saw a young man in distress .

Sadly my son inlaw never heard from him.
I like to think that things got better for him

 

[Craftingnonna]

first of all how a person breaks up with someone is no body’s business, for all we know the other party is abusive and violent, yes people woman can also be domestic abusers.
The fact is who gave Emma Chow the right to photograph this man without he’s consent, can you imagine if someone had photographed her? What an uproar there would be, all sorts of accusations would be bandied around. Stalking, invasion of privacy, harassment, etc,etc. what I would like to say to Emma Chow is “ mind you own b—-dy business you unscrupulous, evil minded woman.
I hope the young man sees this and sues her for everything she’s got.

 

[terri]

Lots of issues here. Taking photos of train travellers without their consent. I think this guy is not breaking up with someone. Why would you need to remind yourself to do that? It is more likely business related, or as one suggested, to book a function room or invite people, for a break up party. He wasnt hurting anyone you know. We are quick to judge and even quicker to criticise. Let others live their lives and you live yours.

 

[Staffordshire Whippet]

Who cares?

 

[Ricci]

Mind your own bloody business. You wouldn't like someone speculating about your life and actions so who died and made you God? have you never heard the phrase Do unto others as you would be done by?

 

[MotherGoose]

On the one hand, this man's right to privacy has been violated. On the other hand, it is possible his partner doesn't know how lucky they are about to become.

Well Emma Chow you should mind your own business !! She didn’t know anything about that guy or what the note meant & has just jumped on that & even had the gall to make a story out of it on air- I wonder did she really care about the imagined girl or was she just seeing an opportunity for herself?!?!?!

 

[MotherGoose]

This is what annoys me about people like journalists and radio personalities. They don't let the facts get in the way of a good story and they don't care who they humiliate or hurt in the process. And when all is said and done, who cares what a stranger has written on their hand? It's not news.

Without knowing the reason for the scribbling l believe it is 'much ado about nothing.'
As for sending an email to someone to breakup with them, can this be any worse than sending a SMS & doing the same thing? This happened to someone l know.

Just an FYI - it actually is not illegal to film/photograph somebody in a public space.
That said, it is yet another case of a "journalist" inventing a story to suit their own purposes, not the (unknown) facts.

Agreed. I for one am sick to death of 'journalists' making news instead of reporting it. I particularly abhor the modern tendency of on-the-spot reporters saying "(e.g., Channel 7) understands that"... just weasel words for "we don't actually know, but we're happy to waste your time with conjecture."

I think it's a complex situation. You are allowed to film or take photos using your phone or camera abd capture people in the background without their permission.

But your are not allowed to directly film a person for the sole purpose of filming just that individual without their permission.

It's the same as you are not allowed to record someone's conversation without letting them know first that you are recording the conversation.

It's the same as you cannot film a child without their parents consent.

If you are making a movie in public then you need the councils permission first.

It's very technical because you can film someone then say they just happened to be in it. But this case she directly filmed him.
