What would it be?

Mine would be robbing a bank I think. Plenty of money to keep me going

Fraud where everyone who has any sort of account, bank credit card etc, pays 1p a week into my account.

I'd like to steal a road painter and paint a yellow box junction at the end of my road. Ideally there would be a roundabout but that sounds like more effort.

You've reminded me of something.

There was a pub in park near where we used to live. The son of the landlords was watching some workmen spray paint yellow lines in the park and asked them what they were doing. They said it was to tell the council where to put the new benches. So the kid bought an aerosol of yellow paint and sprayed 'bench here' marks outside his parents' pub and they got free outdoor seating installed by the council!

I'm afraid I'd also choose murder.

Ofbollocks · 20/02/2023 15:39

Well, I instantly thought that I'd like to shoot a particular leader, then thought I'd better not admit it. 😅 then I read the comments!

Soubriquet · 20/02/2023 15:40

I’m surprised people have actually chosen murder.

I mean, some people deserve it perhaps but I don’t think I could ever personally do it.

Some sort of fraud which results in lots of money for me but no innocent victims.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 20/02/2023 15:41

You won’t be able to spend the cash coz money laundering laws. Do an online bank transfer fraud instead.

Surely that's only if you spend big, though? Paying for a luxury yacht in cash is going to out you instantly, but if you just spent £20 here, £50 there on all the ordinary things you need to buy in life anyway, who would know?

To be fair, the banks only 'invented' the money when somebody first borrowed it, so it's not like you're actually taking anything from them that is morally theirs.

Murder, but does one single crime mean I could only choose one person to bump off? I have quite a list...

MisschiefMaker · 20/02/2023 15:41

Blowtorch the face of the doctor who treated my DC when they were in neonatal.

Im guessing the doctor fucked up a lot

Mine would be murder.

Mine too but would be hard to narrow it down to just one Hmm

Not even someone like Putin? If you could get away with it? I would. Think of all the lives you would save.

Given the state of our government, I occasionally fantasise about being a modern day Guy Fawkes…. But I am really hoping the next election means I don’t have to act on it!

Brahumbug · 20/02/2023 15:57

I was torn between offing someone in particular and fiddling the Euromillions, but if I fiddled the lottery I could pay someone to carry out the murder 😄

MisschiefMaker · 20/02/2023 16:03

@Soubriquet yes. And falsified the medical records to cover it up.

She'll probably continue damaging innocent children forever.

Mine too!

We'd have to get together, make a list and divide and conquer. I can think of lots of horrifically violent and nasty men to put on there, but choosing would be hard.

Minimalme · 20/02/2023 16:08

I would steal my Mother's money so she was forced to sell up and move into a McCarthy and Stone.

Then I would give half the cash to help children growing up in poverty in the UK and keep the other half for my disabled son .

wendywoopywoo222 · 20/02/2023 16:10

Serial killer for sure.
Some people just don't deserve to live.

HerrenaHarridan · 20/02/2023 13:39

I can think of a number of horribly abusive men I would quietly push off a cliff if I knew I could get away with it

This except that their family would grieve for them and they don’t deserve that. Nice fantastic though.

Gwen82 · 20/02/2023 16:13

To corner any child bullying one of my children and threaten them and, depending on severity of the bullying they’ve inflicted, physically harm them.
I am a professional woman who has never so much as flicked another human being, but someone bully my child… and I wouldn’t give a f* how old they are and if such an opportunity arose where I knew I wouldn’t be caught… I would leave them profoundly disturbed and possibly physically harmed

PurpleButterflyWings · 20/02/2023 16:14

Defo robbing a million £££ from... well anywhere really!

PurpleButterflyWings · 20/02/2023 16:15

There are a few dark and disturbing posts on here......... Shock

Whichwhatnow · 20/02/2023 16:15

I'd probably do what my godfather did but do it better. Break into the 02 on a speedboat and a JCB and steal the world's biggest diamond. Then spend some of the proceeds on having some people I know assassinated
