What would it be?

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

Rig a euro millions win. Use the money to pay a hitman to murder a certain someone

AllOfThemWitches · 20/02/2023 19:02

I have no interest in killing or hurting anyone personally but I totally get posters who say they would for certain reasons. And if I were a witch, I'd definitely curse a few people to a life of misery.

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.

😂 woah there crazy cat!

I'm really disconcerted by all the 'murder' responses. Yeah, there are plenty of people the world would be better off without, but the thought of actually being the one to physically end their lives is incomprehensible to me. Is that really all that's holding you back from actually killing people, the thought of getting caught?

And them surviving! 🤷🏻‍♀️

AllWorkYoPlait · 20/02/2023 19:17

Bank robbery or whatever its equally lucrative alternative is. Without a doubt.

Can I please have two? I'd also like to commit just one solitary murder, though perhaps with enough money I could achieve this 🤔

BoredBetsy · 20/02/2023 19:18

Fraud for me too. Would be nice to buy a mansion and go and travel.
There was a man who stole $100million from Facebook and Google by just sending random fake invoices and they just paid them! I was a bit impressed by the audacity of it and the fact he got away with it. Greed made him foolish. I would've been happy to stop at £5 million.

Oh, it doesn't have to me who does the murdering. I'm happy to hire a hit person.

QueefQueen80s · 20/02/2023 19:21

Kill all the paedos.

Geppili · 20/02/2023 19:21

Wash my loo brush in the dishwasher.

Soubriquet · 20/02/2023 19:22

Thing is, I wouldn’t even want a mansion! Too big to manage.

I would be quite happy with a 4 bedroom house, en-suites on the bedrooms maybe, and a nice large garden

I'd pay a hit man to kill the two utter c**ts who abused my disabled niece. They were charged but it never made it to court as she couldn't cope with being cross examined.

I know it's only supposed to be one single thing, but I'm counting it as a single purchase.

Once upon a time I'd have agreed with you

Trez1510 · 20/02/2023 19:32

I'd kidnap all the billionaires/their spouses, fly them to a deserted island no means of escape / shelter, and parachute in the food to the equivalent of carers' allowance (between them) on a weekly basis.

Nothing on the island except natural resources and the weekly drop off. I doubt any of them would see the fourth drop off.

Of course, I'd modestly accept any awards offered to me for this act of humanitarianism. 😇

ThePixiesTookIt · 20/02/2023 19:39

No I'm sorry, I'm picking 2 (ish)
Fiddle a massive lottery win.
Hire hit men/women to kill paedophiles/animal abusers/rapists/most (but not all) murderers.
To start with.
I know I've cheated but I'll live with it.

GyozaGuiting · 20/02/2023 19:41

Bribing an awful family member who abused me into giving me his inheritance.

Yes.

My first thought was murder. But then actually, fiddling the Euromillions would bring me more happiness overall.

Murder wouldn't bring my happiness at all, I should add, more a sense of justice, relief and just, peace, really.

DutifulDaughterWifeMother · 20/02/2023 19:50

Slowly murder the person and all who were involved in shooting my sibling. It would be slow & very painful. My sibling survived but for the pain they were put thru and the family they would regret everything they did. This may sound harsh to people but when you see a member of your family like that and knowing your sibling did nothing for that to happen to them it’s a whole different story……..

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

When my child was being bullied I used to day dream of what I would love to to do them and their parents! It wasn't normal what I would of done if given half the chance but it just used to give me rage even more!

Nottelling15 · 20/02/2023 19:55

Murder for me.
But it's an easy choice of who I'd murder and how I would do it

Edithisoverthere · 20/02/2023 19:56

SmudgeButt · 20/02/2023 16:59

I'd become the terriorist I have always wanted to be. A member of the vigilante arm of Cats Protection. Someone who would punish people who are cruel to animals.

This. It's an oft-recurring fantasy. They don't die quick deaths but given the quantity, I'd have to make concessions I guess.

creepingbuttercup · 20/02/2023 20:01

I'd steal all the Trump money.... it fulfils my desire to do good and to be rich in one crime!

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
