Just wanted to know if any of you have done something mean?

I've use to make my ex SM a cuppa with 1 sugar and 1 salt! (she still doesn't know!)

Oh and I once made my sister eat a worm by telling her it was a sweet! (she was 5)

Have you guys got any interesting things you've done?

I wiped bogies onto my sister while she slept. It was my only way to get back at her for things that had happened during the day as she was a lot bigger than me.

The cruellest thing I did today was: I ate the last of the chocolate biscuits while hiding from my DC 😈

My brother still thinks his little blue budgie died of natural causes.....

Met up with my ex dp but didn't tell him I now have a baby. It was a surprise when I turned up with dd. He wanted kids but didn't get on with sorting his divorce and kept me a secret from his family. I was sort of saying "here's what you're missing" but he was happy for me.

Hmm
PeanuttyButter · 29/01/2019 22:19

I told my little brother there was no such thing as father Christmas purely out of spite because he had done something to annoy me

I also used to play one of my mum's records "nobody's child" and tell him that was him - nobody's child. It made him cry without fail.

elQuintoConyo · 29/01/2019 22:22

I ate some of DS' Carnival sweets Blush

I grew up with a mother who, if a sausage she was cooking fell on the floor and was licked by the dog, would laughingly announce 'that's your dad's Hmm

It kinda makes you not want to be a shit to others.

Fried ants under a magnifying glass when I was around 7 or 8,but felt awful afterwards and have been angelic at all times ever since Halo

Well, I beg to differ, I thought that post was very funny (and I suspect tongue in cheek)

NellyandKelly · 29/01/2019 22:28

I would eat chocolate from the cupboards and hide the wrappers under my little sister’s pillow so she’d get into trouble.

To this day, she still thinks she used to sleep eat when we were kids.

Littlecaf · 29/01/2019 22:29

Cheated on my ex. Twice. I’m not sure I was in a good place for most of my 20s. An awful lot of destructive behaviour. This was over 12 years ago now. Wouldn’t dream of behaving like that with DP.

IncomingCannonFire · 29/01/2019 22:30

Made my sister cry on her 7th birthday. I can't even remember what I said but I felt awful about it as soon as it happened.

EchoCardioGran · 29/01/2019 22:40

There was an awful bully of a boss at work. Very nasty man.
One day he went to lunch, leaving car and house keys on his desk.
When he returned, he searched everywhere for them.
He forgot to look at the bottom of the canal, next to the building, in which we worked.

donkeyshrekmom · 29/01/2019 22:42

I photocopied letters that my ex had sent me, cut out bits where he'd gone back on his word (not necessarily to do this 'us' but to do with him saying he was going to grow up, leave home, be independent etc), made a massive collage, annotated it, and sent it to him. So that he could see his own words and how he hadn't achieved any of the things he'd set out to achieve. Massively cruel. Admittedly I was well pissed-off, but, looking back, it was horrible. Not his fault that he was an Italian Mummy's boy and couldn't live without her, and leaving home/Italy to come and live with an English girl who wouldn't iron his underpants was always going to be too much. So he went home. And then got this letter. Credit to him, when I bumped into him a year or so later, he was perfectly kind and charming.

Watching the @ledbydonkeys movement has made me think of this.

I put mustard powder in the middle of custard creams and gave them to my little brother.

Vasilisa19 · 29/01/2019 22:42

Forgot toothfairy money (shame), the next day she cried that tf hadn't been. Told her to go and have another look because it will be there somewhere (had sneeked 50p under the pillow). I felt very guilty for lying but when she learned the TF doesn't actually exist I told her the truth. She laughed and said 'I knew it'. Hopefully not scarred for life but I did feel very ashamed and the worst mother ever. She is 21 now and wonderfuly wonderful!

Oopsusernamealreadytaken · 29/01/2019 22:42

When I was in year 3 I poured a girls drink over her sandwiches and told everyone it was because she had bogey sandwiches. I’m still horrified I ever did this, and would be equally as horrified if either of my children did it to another child! 😩

I spent 10p that my sister kept in a little box in her bedroom; it had been touched by the boy she fancied for years.

She cried and I felt like the biggest heel ever.

This was about 38 years ago and I’m still not sure she’s forgiven me Grin.

Harrykanesrightsock · 29/01/2019 22:47

I was seven, on holiday in the isle of white. I met a friend, she had an inflatable dolphin that was fabulous. I had an inflatable ring. I bit a hole in her dolphin. The guilt had stayed with me for 39 years. I have t done anything to compare it since.

Maryjoyce · 29/01/2019 22:51

Missed one of my daughters birthdays because we were flying and took off in the morning uk time landed in the evening went to bed not thinking that when we landed it was already her birthday so she missed it totally

YesItsMeIDontCare · 29/01/2019 22:56

I've just taken the cat's ping pong ball off him because he's smacking it off the skirting boards and it's driving me mental.

He looked so bloody dejected I feel like a right bitch but I've got a headache and my arm hurts (due to aforementioned cat).

In my defence I have found his Mousie for him from under the sofa so he's bashing that around now and it's a hell of a lot quieter... for a while.

Still feel really mean though.
