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?

*As teens, after school, my friends and I found my younger brothers friend hiding in my wardrobe sneaking a peak at us getting changed for netball.

We made him go in the back garden, tied him to the washing pole, pulled his trouser round to his ankles and left him there for aggggggeeeessss.*

That’s is utterly horrific. Reverse the sexes and see if you still think it’s ok

I used to spit in dickhead's exdh coffee at the time, his tooth brush also have the toilet a thorough cleaning. He deserved it .
When I was about 9 I would mix up my poor dg's foot cream with her face cream etc Grin

Exactly, it's kind of disturbing and not funny.

Shitty thread, OP.

Fabaunt · 30/01/2019 02:43

Two things.

My mother’s best friend had two daughters my age and my brothers age. My brother broke his leg one summer. We would go upstairs and leave him downstairs with nobody to play with.
The poor little pet would spend a good 30 mins trying to pull himself and his crutches up the stairs to play with us because he was lonely. The minute he’d reach us, we’d leave and go play downstairs.

It’s 22 years. And I still feel sick to my stomach about it.

The second time, we were playing a game and we started to argue. I grabbed him and smacked his head off the glass. We had both recently opened up a savings account each. He had been saving every penny. My mother was furious, I blamed him for breaking it because technically it was his head and she made him pay for the replacement glass with his savings, it wiped him out :(

I cant recall anything - you would need to ask my siblings! I am sure I was a Horror when younger!

CanadianJohn · 30/01/2019 03:12

At university, I very much disliked a certain English professor. He wrote a book, fiction, which got some bad reviews (and probably some good reviews, too).

Every year, I would send him photocopies of the bad reviews. On his birthday.

StoppinBy · 30/01/2019 03:26

I have just put my youngest down for a nap, then I sent my eldest to her room for a 'rest' while I ate an ice cream without telling her haha

Purplecatshopaholic · 30/01/2019 03:28

Never killed any kittens though...

froodledoodle · 30/01/2019 03:42

@NutElla5x Fried ants under a magnifying glass when I was around 7 or 8,but felt awful afterwards

I did this too, and more decades later than I really want to recall, it makes me shudder to think how repulsive I was.

Smotheroffive · 30/01/2019 03:56

Smashing head off glass and smashingthe glass with the force!? Jeez.

There are some sinister thingsnon here...actively hating onnsomeone so much to keep sending bad reviews on birthday every year.

It is a horrible thread.

I bit a girls arm when I was in infants school, she sat resolutely on the bit of the climbing frame that we would all climb up to swing off, refusing to swing so noone else could have a go, but when I bit her arm she fell off, and broke her arm and had to go off in an ambulance. I felt far too much guit for far too long! Having had my own, I realised the lack of mood regulation that such young ones have.

This won't end well.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 30/01/2019 08:12

When I was 15 my friend told me she was seeing 2 boys who were friends at the same time..a few nights later we were all hanging out and I subtly told the one I fancied what shed been up to,He finished her and went out with me instead which was my intention from the start Blush

Ifangyow · 30/01/2019 08:27

When I was still living at home as a teen I used to smoke. My parents also smoked. We all smoked in the house ( normal back then )
My younger sister didn't smoke and absolutely hated it.
I used wait until she had sat down with her evening meal and just as she was about to take her first fork full, I would deliberately light a cig up. Just for her reaction, which to me was hilarious watching her jump up and start shouting about how her meal was bloody ruined and ' muuum tell her' shrieks, before stomping off. Sometimes throwing her meal in the bin if I managed to blow smoke on it as she passed. I'm surprised I didn't end up wearing it tbh.

Childish and nasty I know. For the record, me and my parents no longer smoke.

PawPawNoodle · 30/01/2019 08:33

*dayswithaY

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.*

I don't advocate violence but if I were him I'd have had many daydreams about smashing your teeth in for that. Why do you think that committing a crime is justified for being cheated on?

GunpowderGelatine · 30/01/2019 13:40

You don't advocate violence but you think it's acceptable to do something incredibly violent in response to a non-violent action. Yes, you are ever the pacifist my dear Grin

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 30/01/2019 13:47

I glitter bombed a colleague who really deserved it. The look on her face when she opened that envelope was priceless. There is still glitter on the floor around her desk two years later.

purplelass · 30/01/2019 14:06

I dumped my boyfriend (who I'd lived with for the last year) on valentines day because I found out he was going to propose to me.

That's horrible isn't it? He still hasn't forgiven me 25 years later, if I see him around he gives me big puppy dog eyes Sad

lalafafa · 30/01/2019 14:14

A vile passenger on a flight I was on, I stuck chewing gum to the bottom of her very expensive suede bag.

pinkfeathersandahulahulaskirt · 30/01/2019 14:15

My “D”P took me for a meal to talk through problems we were having.

Spent the whole meal staring into space and not answering my questions.

So I ordered more expensive wine, had 3 courses and a side and refused to let him use my discount card!

Not seen him since Hmm

iklboo · 30/01/2019 14:40

Blimey some of these are dark. I think the cruelest thing I've ever done was not make back up with a friend when I was 13 because I was sick of her stopping being my friend just after her birthday (when she'd had my present) and asked to be friends again after mine.

She started crying so I shut the door in her face.

YouBelongHere · 30/01/2019 14:46

When I was maybe fourteen or fifteen we were playing rounders at school. The round had just finished and I had to throw the ball back to the center. One girl who I was sort-of friends with (but secretly low-key disliked) was stood looking the other way. I had the ball and suddenly the thought of 'if I threw this at friends head I could probably get away with saying it was an accident' popped into my head. So I did and I did get away with it Blush

Weightsandmeasures · 30/01/2019 14:51

I can't imagine some of you have peaceful and content lives. These behaviours are not normal and I believe some of you continue to behave in these nasty ways in your personal and potentially professional lives.

Karma happens.

Smotheroffive · 30/01/2019 15:31

Weights indeed, but Karma doesn't work like that does it, even if you wish it would! One wonders how you think your nasty thoughts of retribution are somehow superior though. Grin
