"silly reason to dump someone" actually makes a good clear trope name.

Minor Flaw, Major Breakup gets the point across in a fairly memorable way, I think. I'm with shimaspawn's suggestion.

Silly Reason To Dump Someone works pretty well too, though I also like Minor Flaw, Major Breakup.

There is now a single proposition rename crowner on this here.

I think Deboss is right about this coming from Seinfeld too. At least, that is where I first heard the term "man hands" used.

As for the current trope name, I at least would like to see a rename that points out how this is a plot point or reaction rather than just a physical trait.

It has been a week and the single proposition crowner seems to show clear support for a rename so I think it is time to switch to an alternative titles crowner.

I'd say so. I've locked the crowner. Now comes actually doing the switch.

It's done, though there may still be bad examples on the page.
