Are any of you a little bit bad?

Not sure anyone will admit it! But I committed a few very minor crimes when young and stupid. I’ve dodged the odd bill (when I was a broke single mum).Told a few lies here and there. Got very satisfying revenge on an ex. I’ve read a few threads these last few days where these things have been covered and people have been horrified and said how awful the behaviour was or could be for example. Is literally everyone (except me) on MN that honest and straight and “good”? It seems unrealistic somehow! I don’t think I am an exceptionally bad person. I would never knowingly or deliberately cause another person pain (except asshole ex above!). I do actually try and help others when I can. Although I am definitely not a saint and have my flaws. But I think that’s just human nature. I’m just curious to see if anyone will admit to not always being as good as they could be,

I liberated a tin of tuna from a supermarket once.

I was a pretty prolific thief when I was a teen. I stole a lot. Usually thongs from Miss Selfridge Hmm
I was also a right get around. I almost forced young men into sex with me. Not sure how I'd view my past behaviour if I was male.

I once hid a girl in my class's geography coursework (year seven so not crucial!) so that she'd have nothing to hand in. In my defence she was bullying me! It was very spiteful and cowardly of me though.

Yestermo · 26/10/2019 00:11

Everyone is to some extent.
I use to steal my dad's cigarettes
I used fake id
Took lots of drugs (great fun)
Shop lifted (feel bad about that)
Swore in front of my children (dont really feel bad about that)
Shouted at my children (feel awful about that)
Snuck into venues and not paid
Snogged my friends ex (felt terrible about that)
But weighing things up I've done far more good stuff than bad

I have been known to part my hair on the dangerous side. Sometimes I mix up the recycling just for shits and giggles.

I’m a prolific liberator of items from hotels, lunch from the breakfast buffet, slippers, toiletries. Anything I can get my hands on Blush

Please tell me about your satisfying revenge on your ex!

I haven’t paid a private car park ticket. I’m mostly a bit of a good girl. But I’ve also been to a sex party 😈

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 26/10/2019 00:37

Always think everyone seems a bit goody two shoes on MN. I’ve never done anything truly terrible but been .....dubious, shall we say.

managedmis · 26/10/2019 00:38

Yeah everyone on here bleats on and seems in very holier than thou style. We're all a bit bad I reckon

WhoWants2Know · 26/10/2019 00:39

Today I was bad, in that I was walking past a churchyard and saw that someone had chucked a can on an old grave, and instead of picking it up I just bitched about people who do that sort of thing. And now I feel bad about it and wish I had gone back to pick it up.

InkyFANGERSInkyFace · 26/10/2019 00:39

God yes, I've been an absolute shit, and all the really bad stuff I (luckily) never got caught over.

I can't share some, but I will own up to shoplifting an item of makeup when I was 16. And looking the other way when a few friends did similar. Took drugs, drank, went underage clubbing, worked behind a bar casually when I was 16/17 (they never asked my age either), ummmmm can't think what else except the thing I don't mention. I did some daft, petty and awful things over the years but I now know they were because of a mental health issue I have. Cringe.

FilthyBiscuit · 26/10/2019 01:10

I was in Waitrose today and bought a Portobello mushroom that was too light for the scales so it didn't register. So I got it for free. I'm a badass.

I used to go out drinking underage. But my parents knew and it was in pubs and clubs so not nicking a bottle of 20/20 from a corner shop and drinking it on a street corner like my mates did. I'd just step back or suggest a different way to spend our time. So other than illegal underage drinking I'm a fairly good girl. I do speed a bit on the new bypass and I drove my car for a month without an MOT because I never got the reminder.

MarmiteOrGoHome · 26/10/2019 01:30

I used to sell formula cannabis to fellow pupils at school (gave them shit deals too, they were fools!).

Ledkr · 26/10/2019 01:43

Yes absolutely.
Aside from the teenage behaviours.
Hitchhiking at 15 all over the UK.
Skiving school. Shagging my mates older brother. Raving, drugs and booze.
Even now at 50 I do bad shit sometimes.
Smuggle booze into venues, jump the train, swear too much, lay about watching Netflix on my days off then have a quick tidy up and pretend I've been soooo busy.
Only last week me an dmy mate stayed in a hotel and ran away from the staff member for nicking the gym towel to run back to our room for showers. We screeched and cackled all the way up in the lift. We may have been drinking 😊

beadybear · 26/10/2019 02:24

I wish I wasn't as goody two shoes as I am. I have a horrendous guilty conscience! Apart from taking a load of drugs regularly I wish I could be a bit naughtier

Pinkiii · 26/10/2019 08:53

Used self service checkout the other day and didn’t pay for my bag Blush

Sharpandshineyteeth · 26/10/2019 09:09

I haven’t paid my water bill for 5 years.
I take a piece of cutlery from a restaurant if it’s pretty.

trendingsomewhere · 26/10/2019 09:30

I want to know about the revenge on your ex op

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 26/10/2019 09:45

I was a terror as a teen and have seen a lot in terms of sex, drugs and crime due to the circles I used to move in.
Now I'm a grown up I'm not going to admit my various misdemeanours of more recent years. Suffice to say I'm not exactly pure as the driven snow. I don't see things as black and white, I like living in the grey.
