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?

"Is anyone else hoping ferret does not have kids!!! "

Just to put your minds at ease I only have 4 sons, 2 dogs (Mendel & Schrödinger) and a cat (Darwin).

Just thought of another one:

When acting as first aider for the Scouts I used to use tincture of iodine on any small cuts or grazes that I was presented with. The idea was that Scouts are supposed to be prepared and resilient so they should have had no reason to bother me with minor injuries. Therefore using something that would really sting as well as dyeing them yellow would act as an incentive to sort it themselves the next time.

The final episode of Friends was due that evening and a group of girls were full of it, whatever I said they carried on talking, disrupting an importartant lesson, the rest of the class were cheesed off with them too. Unfortunately I had heard a 'spoiler' on the radio driving in as it had been on in the States the nght before, I kept them behind at break and gave them the whole lot! They were livid, one mother even rang and complained.
I still feel no remorse all these years later.

When I was about 11 I went to school with a girl who was sadly an ‘easy target’ for bullying. I was not one of the long term bullies but I did something nasty to her on one occasion. We went on a field trip to study insects and she found a small beetle. In some lights it looked black; in other lights it looked a metallic gold colour. As she showed me this beetle that she had on her hand I told her that she had found the extremely rare and deadly golden beetle that could kill a human just by holding it. She ran off the teacher screaming and claiming she was about to die. Never seen anyone look so scared. At the time I find it vaguely amusing, but now I honestly wish I could go back in tome and undo it. Or I wish I could find her now (I’ve actually searched for her on social media but failed to find her) and apologise. It makes me cringe that I did something so mean. If anyone did something that to my child I would be absolutely furious Sad

Had some trouble with husbands ex, went on for a relatively long time, like two years, I got fed up of her and waited for her new block paved drive to be finished before having 7 tonnes of manure delivered.

Caught one ex cheating on me, literally walked in on him, so I waited till he went to work to move my stuff out of our shared home, then I took the bottom part of the kettle, left the kettle, took the glass plate from the microwave, all the teaspoons, snipped the corners off all the teabags, mixed bisto into his coffee, lavender essential oil on the sugar, then When he took his fancy piece on a holiday I'd paid for, because he had a the tickets, I went round and cress seeded every carpet. Watered. Turned the heating up full, new carpets! He retaliated by having her forge my signature on the mortgage and 'sign' the house over to him. Lost me about £95k but the cress carpet was worth it!

"A dog called Shrodinger? Needs to meet my cat Pavlov"

I like to be contrary. The next cat will probably be called Pavlov. Either that or Paracelsus.

IhaveaBigBum · 01/02/2019 20:08

A few months after breaking up with my truly awful ex, I decided to be nosey and log into his Facebook as I knew his password.
He had 4 chat boxes going with 4 different women and the bullshit he was spewing was unreal. Two women he was flirting trying to get a date with, another he was declaring undying love and the fourth woman he was talking pure filth about what he wanted to do with her.... Soooo I copied and pasted the entire filth conversation into the other three chats 😂😂😂.
One immediately logged off without saying a word.
The other was like WTF?! (he said his flatmate played a prank, but she wasnt amused at all.
The third who he was declaring undying love for, got really upset, said she didn't understand, immediately believed his bullshit excuses and they ended up in a relationship for a few years.
I was crying with laughter about it at the time, could just picture him scrambling to save himself and wondering how it had happened.
Obviously he deserved it as he was a total sponge for the entire 4 years we were together and owes me tens of thousands plus I'm pretty sure he cheated on me too.

A good name. My dog is called Szaz.

I used to force my sister to bite me so i could then run to my dad to say she had bitten me🤣she still never learned to stop falling for it and took the blame every time😂

TaimaandRanyasBestFriend · 01/02/2019 21:17

I had an abusive twat of an ex who threw me out in a foreign country. My cousin hacked his business site and directed it to a porn one on and off for about a year after I got out of there.

Cherrypie32 · 01/02/2019 22:37

Took 50p from an old man on his doorstep for carol singing, telling him it was for charity. We went and spent it on penny sweets. Still feel awful.

My last dog was Paracelsus. My cat is Kant.

NotaRealLawyer · 02/02/2019 09:50

Kant is a beautiful and sublime name for a cat Gilead.

mumofbeagles · 02/02/2019 10:07

This is totally awful. 16 year old me thought it was a fantastic idea.
I was in Africa doing some charity work with a group of other people of similar ages. We were working in a children's home where some of the children were HIV positive. Before we went we knew what we were going to be dealing with etc... gloves when dealing with bodily fluids etc. However there was one guy who refused to have anything to do with any of the children (which was why we were there) if they came and asked him to play he just looked at them in disgust and walked away. Everyone was starting to get annoyed with him.About 2 weeks into our trip I was on the evening hot chocolate duty and added half a pack of laxatives to his drink. The next day it was safe to say he spent most of it in the toilet. I did feel a bit bad and let the on site nurse know what I had done. He came out of the toilet and went straight to the nurse... he thought he had yellow fever and was dying... the nurse didn't tell him that it wasn't yellow fever... but it could be so maybe he should take it easy for a few days and rest just Incase as it is fatal. He spent the rest of the trip moving around researching his symptoms... apparently it wasn't just me he wound up but the nurse too Shock

headinhands · 02/02/2019 10:18

These threads worry me. I can understand the stuff people did as kids but when adults are talking about stuff they've done as adults. 😳

headinhands · 02/02/2019 10:25

Most of the stuff posters have done as adults is just passive aggression. And people usually resort to passive aggression because they know their anger isn't valid so they can't tackle the other person honestly.

There was a bald girl at school and I got eye balls from my friend at the butchers and put them in her pe plimsolls at school. It was 30 plus years ago but my behaviour still haunts me. I knew nothing of cancer treatment or alopecia, just that she looked odd. I wish I could apologise to her.

MorganKitten · 02/02/2019 22:02

Made lost dog posters of a girl who was a horrible bully and sent them to places she hung out.

I regret one thing in life, but I blame being a hormonal teenage mess, and would never ever act like this now!

When I was at school, year 8-9 (so like 13-14) we had a new girl start our school. She had naturally bright blonde hair, nearly white. She was put into my class and I was asked to look after her and help settle her in. We were in art class and my year 9-10 bf came into the class (remember having an older bf was a big deal back then) to use some equipment. The new girl was practically drooling over him & asking a lot about him, both me and several other people in the class said that he was already taken. She then came up to me whilst I was on my own, and told me that he wouldn't be my bf for long, and she would get him...

Like I said such teenage drama!

She attempted flirting with him, even pushing herself against him over the next few days, but she got nowhere.

The next week in art class again, she said she was going to do something to make sure she got him ( she did that gross bj thing where you push your tongue into your cheek to make it look suggestive)

I snapped, had enough, so I got fountain pen ink cartridges, and poured them onto her white hair!

She came in the next day still with bad stained hair, and people bullied her for being a floozy and having blue hair. She left the school shortly after.
