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?

Better for the dog to be surprised by a bang and possibly tapped by some wadding (the wadding is very light and has little force behind it - it would only fly a few yards before dropping to the ground) than to be shot for worrying sheep.

The dog (Bert) was a vengeful little bugger and would spend all day on a Monday chewing anything of Dad's in reach as he was pissed off because Dad had gone to work. In fact Bert was probably immune to electricity as one of the things he managed to chew through was the cable to fan heater which was switched at the time of consumption.

...what the hell was your childhood. None of the stuff you said is ok. Hurting animals etc is just gross

Smotherofive, at the time I had undiagnosed Endo so my cycle was all over the place. I had bleed days every other week, bloat days, spot days, pain days, stomach upset days, all on a planner in an effort to try and work it what was going on.

Over a year it added up to quite a lot of data really.....

Magicpaintbrush · 31/01/2019 22:16

When I was about 8 years old I crushed up loads of biscuits and scattered them all inside my parents bedsheets for some perceived injustice - I think I chucked some water in there too. I think they had told me off for something I hadn't done and I felt they needed to be punished - though in my defence it's the only time I've ever done anything like that.

Smotheroffive · 31/01/2019 22:17

I don't want to hear excuses. Your ddog should've been rehomed, it is just gross that you consider all this OK, and just some fun.

He was clearly unhappy and unsuited to being around sheep to have to consider such cruel methods, in fact, no, noons has to consider such methods. Poor ddog, should have reported you and your father to RSPCA

Smotheroffive · 31/01/2019 22:19

No worries donut and sorry to hear that, hope it s under control, just can't figure how it can possibly translate into data somehow with any equivalency to sales figures, but no matter.

ferretygubbins · 31/01/2019 22:20

He was very suitable to be around sheep as he never chased them a second time. The other alternative used by others in the village was to get the biggest, meanest ram available and put the dog in closed pen with it for 10 minutes...

I am actually sickened by the electric fence shock to the dog.....your poor dog.

EwItsAHooman · 31/01/2019 22:23

And you used to bait and shot starlings.

This is all sorts of messed up.

paslamer · 31/01/2019 22:24

Was due to move to a rented house as we had sold our house but not found one to buy. The landlord tried to screw us over by charging us £250 a month for storage in his shed, which he'd previously said we could use free of charge - this was two days before we were due to move, 15 years ago. I think he thought we would have no choice but to agree.

We found another place, luckily, but unfortunately for him I worked in council tax recovery at the time, and went through all his accounts in forensic detail going back years. (He had several properties and had done the common landlord trick of fudging the dates to avoid paying empty tax). By the time I'd finished he owed nearly £2000, and because they were historical were fast tracked to summons etc. I also knew who his employer was so as soon as the defaults came through I slapped attachment of earnings orders on all the defaulted accounts.

Petty? Maybe. Satisfying? Very.

SpeedyBojangles · 31/01/2019 22:28

I once blindfolded my little brother and made him do a 'taste test' and fed him marmite (which I knew he hated) and mustard

Back in the PS1 days and memory cards, I deleted my (other) brother's saved game on Tomb Raider when he was on the last level cause he pissed me off about something

Slept with my ex's best mate. He did cheat on me to be fair, which is why he was an ex... just a very, very recent ex at the time Blush

SpeedyBojangles · 31/01/2019 22:30

I knew electric shocks weren't fun as my Dad used to shock my sister and I with the magneto from his motorbike but only for a laugh he wasn't a psycho

Beg to differ on that one Confused

TheyGotMyName · 31/01/2019 22:33

God this thread!!! Some of it is hilarious some is really dark!! Especially the one who electrocuted the dog!! You tight bastard! Should be ashamed of yourself!

Meanest thing I did was I think I was about 7 and I cut the hair of my sister's doll (she was 5) because she wouldn't let me play with it, she cried for what seemed like hours....I still feel terrible all these years later

Smotheroffive · 31/01/2019 22:48

He was very suitable to be around sheep as he never chased them a second time. no I fucking bet he didn't! All this says s that you are still defending yours/his actions so still an suitable ddog owner!

Other that or this is some sick goading!

Smotheroffive · 31/01/2019 22:51

I think this thread has gone too far,

Very sick. Father giving electric shocks to dd. But that's OK!!! No, it just isn't, shocking ddogs!! Just no, baiting and shooting starlings and the cat getting at the injured ones!!!

Sick bastards

Smotheroffive · 31/01/2019 22:52

*unsuitable as a ddog owner! Definitely not suitable

Littlebird88 · 31/01/2019 22:54

years of bullying at work.
awful situation.
I may or may not have wiped used toilet tissue round the rim of the bullys coffee mug.
sadly had zero effect

TheActualAlexa · 31/01/2019 23:01

As a teenager a bastard mosquito got me 3 times in a sensitive area. When I finally caught it, rather than squashing it I carefully removed its needle nose bit, so that it would starve to death. Kinda felt guilty- but not that much.

cuntymckuntface · 31/01/2019 23:03

I convinced my sister that she was adopted, and when she turned 7 she had to go back to her real family.
I told her that her dad was a well known local man who was a real shabby drunk who lived alone and had 12 cats 😂
She woke up on the morning of her 7th birthday absolutely petrified!

Wigwambam10 · 01/02/2019 00:26

Is anyone else hoping ferret does not have kids!!!
My SIL would say the cruelest thing I have ever done to her is get pregnant.
Me and DH were told we could not have kids and we were not able to adopt as I have a certain disability that means we would not get through the process.

My SIL adopted a child and actually said to me “I have something you will never have”
Three months later I was pregnant, she was livid.
I may also have taken a weed from our garden and sprinkled it in her garden when she commented that our garden was disgustingly full of weeds while her garden never gets weeds- it does now

ChickChickChickChickChickens · 01/02/2019 00:54

I once used an entire bottle of liquid ass in a family members bedroom during a scorching summers day and they thought an animal had somehow came in from outside and died. The smell lingered for roughly twenty four hours or so! It sent them neurotic to the point where they thought about tearing the whole room apart and pulling up the floorboards. 😂

Mossyhill · 01/02/2019 09:24

Not really mean as it was all done for fun whilst at primary school:

The things you listed relating to harm of another person and animals isn’t done for fun. And it’s certainly beyond mean. You sound like a vile human being.

xWallToWallBastardsx · 01/02/2019 09:49

Ferrety I feel for you. Your dad really did a number on you didn't he? Sad

StoppinBy · 01/02/2019 12:11

@wigwam , haha, I love how you sprinkled weed seeds in you SIL's garden.

@chickchick what on earth is liquid ass?

WakeMeWhenTheyTurn18 · 01/02/2019 12:12

Not proud of it at all but When i was 18 i took a job in a late night take away, a woman who worked there (ill call her ann-she was 28ish), tried to become my best friend within minuets of walking through the door, wanting to know everything about me and telling me details of her life i didnt need or want to know. Anns finance (bob late 30s, heavy drinker,over weight and not attractive to me at all)worked as a bouncer at the pub next door. They had a very toxic relationship. She would belittle him and was quite violent and aggressive towards him.
Ann confessed to me she though he was shagging around (it was actually her that was cheating at the time), she would spend half her night by the door watching him, if he so much as smiled at a woman she went mental. On the nights she wasnt working she would constantly text and phone me and the other girls working asking us if he was behaving etc. He never did anything that we could see. (Although we caught her a few times being felt up by bobs boss in the back yard /delivery area that the pub and take away shared.)

Anyway this went on for about 4months, when one night out of the blue she accused me of shagging him, saying she had proof we had (we hadn't) blah blah blah. SHe started following me around, turning up at places she knew i would be texting me in the middle of the night saying she knew we were having an affair and she wasn't bothered as long as i admitted it and generally turned weired and nasty. Boss eventually put her on day shift but not before she had accused every member of staff of shagging bob. One night we were short staffed so she stayed on through the night shift. It was really busy and the atmosphere was horrendous. We were in the kitchen and she was moving a big pot of hot caramel sauce when she 'slipped' and covered me in the contents of the pan (straight down my chest and stomach), i was holding a knife at the time and cut myself to boot. Another girl saw what happened and pushed me in to the delivery area and stated to hose me down as i ripped my top off, other girl screaming for help 2 bouncers from next door appeared. Bob picked.me up threw me in to his car and drove me to hospital, where he dropped me off and went back to work.
That night laid in a hospital bed bandaged and stiched up and on a drip etc (i had 2nd degree burns to 30% of my chest and stomach) ann starts texting again saying she knew we were shagging on the way to the hospital- all bullshit. I was kept in for 3 days, the whole time she is texting, calling me a whore and that karma had had its way with me. I was off work for 8 weeks. When i finally went back she had quit. That night bob and the other bouncer came to see how i was. Bob apologised for her behaviour and we ended up talking about all their problems etc,

I shagged bob in the back of his car that night (not my proudest moment) then showed him the cctv of Ann and his boss, then ann with the 3 lads from a stag party.... there was alot more footage than i realised. I would never normally condone sleeping with someone elses man but after being hospitalised and stalked by the bitch i really do think it was justified. They stayed together for another couple of years and had a child then i heard through the grapevine she was in prison after she stabbed him.
