You shouldn’t be so careless that you break things but you’ve broken this one already.
This response incorporates sarcasm and wit by playfully implying that the person expected their heart to be handled with the utmost care, almost as if they were receiving medical treatment. Unfortunately, you are more of a mechanical engineer than a heart surgeon so you did what you could do.
This statement is funny in the sense that you are not saying ‘sorry’ for breaking her heart but ‘sorry’ for not being gentle with the ‘breaking’. You shattered it.
You broke my heart.
- Well, I’m sorry for not being a heart surgeon and breaking it gently!
Don’t worry, my heart repair shop is open. It’s BYOH (bring your own heart) though!
By jokingly referring to yourself as a heart repair shop, this response uses humor to suggest that they can mend broken hearts. The mention of BYOH adds an unexpected and amusing twist.
This statement is filled with indifference from the first word to the last. It shows that you don’t care about the broken heart or the owner but you can fix it if it is brought to you for repair.
Also, don’t forget to emphasize the fact that it is a repair shop and you will pay rent. Even if you won’t, you set up the place with money and it’s not for charity. ‘I know I broke the heart but it’s yours. If I’ll fix it. Pay for the glue.’
You broke my heart.

This response adds humor by sarcastically celebrating the person’s achievement as the Best Heartbroken of the Year, turning their heartbreak into a comical accolade.

- Congratulations, you just won the award for the ‘Best Heartbroken of the Year’!
I’m good at what I do. What can I say? I’m a stockbroker.
This is a nice way to make a joke out of the random statement ‘You broke my heart’. This will show your carefree attitude towards the person’s sentimentality.
The final sentence, ‘I am a stockbroker’, takes it further than indifference and instills humor into the conversation with the use of wordplay.
A stockbroker may not be one to break hearts but you are so good at what you do that even hearts around you get broken.
You broke my heart, John.
- I’m good at what I do. What can I say? I’m a stockbroker.
It’s just a crack. You’ll heal soon… Then we can break it properly, this time.
This statement belittles whatever negative impact the person thinks you’ve had on him/her. You are not disputing the fact that you may have broken the other person’s class but you are not showing remorse for it either.
The fact that nothing like heartbreak has happened between the two of you can make the situation quite amusing.
Another hilarious part of this statement is its climactic ironic ending. Saying ‘you’ll heal soon’ makes it seem like you care about the other person’s feelings. However, the final sentence reveals your evil intentions for him/her which can only be laughed at.
