Worst Human being you've ever known?

After life saving surgery at the start of the year I've been doing some soul searching and re-evaluating a lot in my life, and looking back it astonishes me that I put up with some truly awful people for so long, even when I knew what complete and utter unrepentant shits they were, so, can I ask, who is the worst Human being you have ever known and why?

Ooh great thread. I hope more people come along!

I have known a few bad eggs (like stinking, rotten ones!) but the worst is a former landlady. She found out I was in the late stages of pregnancy because we had a routine property inspection and the person completing it ticked a box saying 2 adults, but baby on the way.

She royally kicked off about it and when our baby was 9 days old (and I was extremely ill from birth complications) she told us all to leave. Specifically because we had had him.

It was completely against our contract, and against being a moral human! We had to move with a newborn and I was having operations, sorting out house viewings, dealing with a traumatic birth and being a brand new mum.

I have often thought about posting that woman a dirty nappy!

I have met some truly dreadful people but the worst by far are the people who try to crush your dc to make way for their own dc to succeed. Sadly this is more common than I ever imagined.

To be honest most of the awful people I've known have had shocking childhoods so I'm (just about) willing to cut them some slack.
I did know a person who was the most awful, racist person I'd ever met. Police officer too.

Girl I went to school with: got married to a wealthy man and ran a business set up with his money with her husband's sister, they were besties and lived next door to each other.

Their business was shut down because they sold fake designer gear and passed it off as real.
But what makes her awful is that she had an affair with the sister's husband, got pregnant by him, having undergone unsuccessful IVF treatment with her husband, not long after the husband's sister had given birth to their third child.
She was a cow in school and she hasn't changed.

A woman in the literary world with a first name beginning with V. A vile, malicious drama queen who doesn't care how much pain she causes - she certainly caused me plenty.

My ex is the worst human being I've ever had the misfortune of knowing. He isn't even human, he's subhuman. He's evil right down to his very core. If someone knocked on my door to tell me he had died it would be better than winning the lottery. I have a child with him but he's no father and I will not rest until he's out of her life forever. He's a disgusting and vile, poisonous, dangerous abuser that I can only compare him to a very aggressive and terminal cancer and I don't mean any offence by that to those suffering. He is the worst human being I have ever known and I wish I had never met him and hope one day soon he dies and leaves us in peace.
Felt better writing that down.

I sincerely hope you don't mean Val McDermid because she looks like a teddy bear and I've always thought she would be lovely irl even though her books are so dark.

Two awful people I have got rid of, one my next door neighbour and the other a woman I worked for. Both toxic and I don’t know why I put up with them for so long. You kind of get used to their obnoxious behaviour. It feels exhilarating not having them in my life anymore.

Omg spill the tea!!

A very vile nasty sociopath named Sandra.
She is the worst person that I ever met and I wish nothing but the very worst.

She really opened my eyes to how evil some people can be and that has truly made me feel a lot more unsafe, knowing that these sort of ‘people’ live among us.

An area manager I worked for 25 years ago when I was in retail management.

I had a miscarriage, at that time work didn’t know I was pregnant so I just said that I was off work due to illness, as written on the note my GP supplied and I was off work for two weeks. When I returned she phoned and shouted at me for missing a training meeting she’d held while I was absent. I was still feeling quite emotional anyway and told her exactly why I’d been off work and two hours later she was in my store to issue me with a first and final written warning for misconduct, as in her opinion I wasn’t ill, shouldn’t have been off work and should’ve attended the meeting.

I’d never had so much as a verbal warning in my 10 years with the company prior to that. I’d also been fully paid, as per my contract, while off work and she then stopped my wages for two weeks as she decided I wasn’t ill so therefore wasn’t entitled to sick pay.

She left the company a month later but she used that month to give me hell and was a horrible bully. My store was always used as an example as it was near to the head office so convenient for visits from directors and I had a reputation of being excellent at my job but she knocked every bit of confidence out of me.

Pervert who got involved in development work and went on to abuse and rape refugee children.

Vengefulgit · 05/06/2021 13:51

NC.
My father (he was never my dad) who beat up me and my mum and the man who sexually abused me, he died shortly after it began and i went up and destroyed all the flowers on his grave and pissed on it too... it was very liberating! ffs i was a kid.

My mum reported this man as she thought something was wrong and the Police were brilliant, this was the mid 70s, they took it very seriously.

Funnily enough my Mum always denied it was her but it was, i could see the sadness in her eyes.

i have never told anyone any of this before, it never leaves you, thankyou for starting this thread, going have a good cry now.

CustardSquirrel · 05/06/2021 13:51

I worked for her. Stupidity and arrogance mixed with a total lack of empathy. A very close relative had end stage cancer, deteriorated very suddenly& I received a heartbreaking call at work to say he had died. Her response " Well you knew they were dying !!" , Screamed at me across the office as I tried to collect my belonging. One of many, many , many occasions when she was maliciously cruel .

OhRene · 05/06/2021 13:52

My son's bully's mum. A complete waste of oxygen who is doing nothing but creating and encouraging vile monsters in the world. If she saw her son punch a newborn she would firstly ignore like she didn't see it then when confronted, declare the newborn started it.

My Uncle

Always been a misogynist and a self confessed peeping tom pervert

Now he's fallen down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole, thinks covid is 'just flu' the utter TWAT. Earth is flat, 9/11 was an inside job, jewish space lasers causing forest fires, adrenachrome, the whole nine yards. He supports Trump for some reason even though we're British, had a very nasty public (on fb) falling out with his brother calling him a prick for informing him the US election was NOT fraudulent

On one of his anti vax posts, someone debunked him very politely and cleverly and he replied 'by being nasty you only show yourself up' failing to realise he's the only nasty one around here

So yeah, ever wonder what kind of man looks up to Trump? A sad, lonley, vulnerable, (all of his own doing) disgusting misogynist, that's who.

leprintemps · 05/06/2021 13:54

A former boss. The most vile woman I've ever met. A bully, a snob, racist, homophobic, and works in a senior role in the field of equal opportunities. She has openly plagiarised other people's work, is crap at her job, and claims disability discrimination every time she is pulled up on something (I'm disabled myself. The way she uses her disability as a get-out-of-jail free card sickens me.)
She goes through staff like nothing I've ever seen. 19 in two years, one of whom lasted less than two hours before walking out.
I'm proud that I was the one who took her to tribunal for bullying, discrimination and harassment, and won. Her own boss described her as pure poison.
I'm not ashamed to admit that when I found out she couldn't have children, my first thought was thank fuck for that. She would have been a terrible mother.

zingally · 05/06/2021 13:56

I'm a primary school teacher, and the worst person I met was the head teacher of a school I worked at.

I don't throw the term around lightly, but this person was an honest to goodness sociopath. And like all sociopaths, she didn't know her behaviour was weird, dangerous, and damaging to others.

When she finally retired, we had a staff party to celebrate the fact she was gone!

And one day in the future, I fully plan to go dance on her grave.

GypsyWanderer · 05/06/2021 13:57

My ex who I suspect to have narcissistic personality disorder or the very least, have a lot of the traits. Obviously the gaslighting, emotional abuse and general awfulness that you would expect with all narcissists but the worse was that I woke up to find him boiling my African land snail that I kept as a pet and then a while later I caught him smashing one of our pet mice to death with a bottle of my perfume. He’s by far the worst person I know in real life.

Headlesschic · 05/06/2021 13:59

My 35 year old daughter is very sentimental. Over the years she’s held onto things that have a special meaning to her. Pictures, cards, letters, baby teeth (!), rosary beads from her first communion that my now passed mum gave her, etc etc etc. Boxes of stuff. She recently broke up with her partner of 10 years. She kept asking when she could go back to the house to pick her precious boxes up. He kept saying as soon as he had the time to get into the garage he would let her know. He knew how much her ‘stuff’ meant to her. What he did instead was take every box to the skip. 35 years of precious memories discarded as ‘punishment’ for leaving him. He’s 10 years older than her with his own successful business so not some silly little boy. He might have plenty of money but he’s morally bankrupt. I hate him for doing it.

DianeCherry · 05/06/2021 14:01

Another one for exH. Marriage after marriage, affair after affair, dumped kids all over the place and lied about everything, all the time. Well rid!

Cam2020 · 05/06/2021 14:01

Bloody hell, there are some nasty people in this world.

@Vengefulgit Flowers

I personally wouldnt piss on my inaws if they were on fire. Hideous people.

MintyCedric · 05/06/2021 14:03

@Headlesschic what and absolute piece of shit your DDs ex is.

My ex was an arse when I had to clear my stuff from our marital home but even he didn't stoop that low.

SunshineCake · 05/06/2021 14:06

My mother - wanted gratitude for not aborting me.
My father - signed me away without a second thought, threatened police on me if I rang him again.
X - abused me and lied about it for decades.
Mrs X - physically abused me.

Now I need a hug and chocolate Sad.
