This dude’s attempt to win back his ex has Twitter totally CRINGING

If classic romcoms are to be believed, women fall to pieces after a break-up and men pick themselves up and dust themselves off.

According to the movies, women drown their sorrows in gin and plot their revenge while men take it on the chin and simply make a play for the next girl.

But anyone who has endured the ups and downs of a break-up will know that this scenario is about as authentic as our tan – not at all, in other words.

And this is precisely why social media is falling all over itself today.

Reminding the public that both sexes are guilty of a little OTT regret, one Twitter user shared a screenshot of her friend's online banking app, and highlighted the lengths her pal's ex would go to for attention.
 

"Becca blocked her ex off everything and he transferred 4p into her bank with the reference 'text me please'.'" Gabriella wrote in a post which did the rounds online today before being swiftly deleted.

The tweet was, however, re-tweeted numerous times as people used this poor guy's very desperate plea as a reminder that neither gender is immune to the post-break-up madness.

4p, though? Couldn't have even swung for the price of a drink, no?!
