Breaking up with your girlfriend? Need to quit your job but too scared to face your boss? Don’t worry — in California, there’s now a guy who will do it for you… for just 20 bucks.
Yes, really.
Eric Gregory, a Facebook Marketplace user, has gone viral for his bizarre side hustle: professional bad news messenger. For $20, he promises to deliver any unpleasant news you don’t want to say yourself. “Doesn’t matter the conversation, I do not care,” his ad boldly declares.
The $20 Heartbreak Package
The offer is simple: you pay, he talks. No judgment, no hesitation. Whether it’s dumping your partner, canceling dinner plans, or telling your roommate they smell — Eric says he’s your guy. And if the news is especially heavy? He mentions “extra fees may apply.” (Yes, bad news has surge pricing now.)
Gig Economy Gone Wild
Forget food delivery apps — this is emotional outsourcing at its finest. Instead of ghosting, now you can just Venmo someone in California to handle the awkwardness for you. Imagine opening the door and hearing: “Hi, I’m here to let you know… it’s over.”
The listing is real. It even comes with a cartoon pig detective picture and the description: “Photo sort of related. Gotta fly, babe.” Somehow, that makes it even better.
