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?

Got Ex's toothbrush and ran it under the rim of the toilet bowl then placed it back in holder (not near any others). Laughed as I thought of him kissing new girlfriend with a toilet mouth. Took a hammer and smashed up his rare vinyl records. He never said a word about it.

For April fools day one year I took the cream out of a pack of oreos and replaced with toothpaste then put them all back together and revealed the pack.

A work colleague ate two of them! 😂

These threads already reveal some utter sociopaths and people who should be locked up.

Got off with my tech teacher :/

But for me, my friend Jimmy and I, we went to the carpark at church (this was back when people used to leave their car doors unlocked) during services, and turned all the radio stations to heavy metal and cranked up the volume so when the drivers got in and turned on the car they got blasted with heavy metal. We hid in some bushes to watch it all go down.

I had to collect furniture from my horrifically abusive ex. He poured sour milk on the futon as we were trying to move it. I went to his loo, put his towel on the floor & pissed on it. Then hung it back up.

My sister has always had a really sensitive stomach. I could make her throw up just by talking about things that are gross so I used to do it all the time.

The nastiest thing my mum would say - apropos of nothing - was
‘I hope your rabbit dies and you can’t sell the hutch.’

This thread scares me Shock

Ha, ha, ha. That's brilliant. My husband and I do similar with rental cars and Radio 3, but that's nowhere near as cool.

I once had an awful colleague who put me down at every opportunity and tried her hardest to pin any mistakes on me. I once overheard her bitching about a friend of hers who never made time for her anymore and was always busy with other people. I saw the friend with someone I knew in town that night and chatted for a while then took a selfie of the 3 of us. Posted it on fb the next day saying what a fun night I'd had. I knew she'd see it and assume I'd spent the evening with her friend who I didn't know and who'd been too busy to see her. Beyond pathetic I know but she left me alone for a bit afterwards. That was some years back though, I have grown up since!

When I was 9 and my brother was 7 I ate all the toppings off his pizza and tried to convince him he had a cheese and tomato pizza to start with.

BoswellsBollocks · 29/01/2019 23:37

In year 6 we were messing about chasing each other in the classroom, for some reason I suddenly became evil and booted a friend really hard in his privates. It was not like me at all and I immediately felt dreadful about it.

I still feel awful 29 years later. (I’m so sorry Brian)

TinklyLittleLaugh · 29/01/2019 23:39

Made a ring of stones in the woods. Told a very goody little girl, that was a bit jealous of, that it was a witches ring and if you stepped into it the witches would come for you at night.

Then I pushed her in.

She ran home hysterically. Then her dad came baying for my blood so I had to hide.

I was only about 7. It took me quite a while to develop any kind of moral compass. I did a lot of bad stuff when I was a kid.

Cattus · 29/01/2019 23:41

I can remember some things I did in my teens and earlly twenties that absolutely shock me to think of. They are not me now. You think you turn 18 and you’re an adult but I think empathy and maturity can take years to develop and refine.

@OhDearHowSadNeverMind oh god. Off topic but you just made me remember going on a date with someone I really fancied and wanted to impress and I said “well, QE2.” rather than QED. I’m dying all over again. Thankfully he found it hilarious in a nice way.

I felt so mean and guilty having to starve my young cat overnight before her operation at the vet (especially when she saw the other cat gobbling her food down).

GunpowderGelatine · 30/01/2019 00:02

I've told this before on here, and the recipient deserved it.

In Uni I was at my friends student digs on a Saturday night we were watching X factor or pop idol, one of those type shows. Her flat mate brought a ONS back who proceeded to tell us our taste was shit, made fun of everything we said and eventually called us ugly slags when we laughed at his ridiculousness Hmm her flatmate took him off for a (very loud) shag and, in revenge (and a bit tiddly) we filled his shoes and coat pockets with Branston pickle (he'd left his stuff in the hall). We could hear him effing and jeffing the next morning as branston pickle squelched out of his shoes Grin not sorry, he was a horrible prick

redspottedhankie · 30/01/2019 00:11

I've told this before on here and am not proud of it... had a slimy boss who used to make sexist remarks and generally sleaze his way round the office. He would sit on my desk while I worked, call me "babe" and take my drinks/food off my desk and consume it while flirting away with me and asking personal questions. I would ask him not to but he laughed it off. One day i complained to a friend during lunch and they took my subway soda cup and wee'd in it. I took it back to work, put it on my desk. Boss was there, I suggested he didnt take my drink as I was still drinking it...he immediately drank it.

GreenyBlueEyes · 30/01/2019 00:12

When I was 4, I bit my big brother and made him cry for no reason. I still feel terrible for this and apologise from time to time, even though we are now 30- somethings and he can't remember it!

Nevergotobedfangry · 30/01/2019 00:20

A long time ago. Went to local pub to meet mates. Ex turned up. We had mutual friends so he sat at our table. He started talking to me about when we was together slabs annoyed me so I picked up the nearest full pint and poured it over him. He soon left but reappeared, pestering me so I did the same thing again!

SD1978 · 30/01/2019 00:39

(Accidentally) pulled the tail off our gerbil, then gave the tail to my younger sister and blamed her. 💁‍♀️

SD1978 · 30/01/2019 00:42

Shoot that was supposed to be 😳 not 💁‍♀️ I felt bad afterwards- promise!! And the gerbil was fine and lived a long and happy life!!!

GertrudeWilloughby · 30/01/2019 01:00

I cut the top of my sisters baby dolls heads off and put dolls bonnets on them so they looked ok. This was in a long line of retaliation against stuff she did to me, no excuse though.

She had absolute hysterics when she discovered it. My brother got the blame as he had recently bought a pen knife and had been practising cutting things up.

Crikey we were a fucked up family. Blush

My ex SIL slept with another man whilst she was married to my BIL and 8 months pregnant with their first child. So I wrote an anonymous letter to her dad spilling the beans. No regrets.
