Worst Human being you've ever known?

[thebatman]

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?

Crikey, some real horrors. Makes mine seem quite tame:
Ex-wife - borderline alcoholic, shirked all work, did nowt around the house, rubbish cook*, committed adultery twice, and then committed benefit fraud. The divorce couldn't come soon enough.

• She once set a jacket potato on fire in the microwave (which was an amazing feat), regularly burnt peas, pasta, once made broccoli and stilton soup (but forgot the stilton), and always had at least one dish in the fridge that had gone green and mouldy. All this, and she never once apologised for anything she did. Pleased I'm now rid of her.

My boss. Horrible human being. Has stolen my work, shouted me down, denied me support, and promoted way beyond her competence. She’s been the main reason I’ve become depressed. My DP reckons she knows I could do my job better than she does. Doesn’t make her any less of a vile bitch, and I would rejoice her death.

@LeopardHawk

NC for this.

My sister married the worst person I've ever known. He's a flash, materialistic conman - literally, he ran a 'business' conning elderly people out of their life savings for worthless 'investments'. He spent time in prison but was never properly convicted (long story).

He has been an absolute unspeakable dickhead to my whole family but my sister has stood by and applauded it. He's insulted us, tried to extort money from my parents, and thrown their help (when he went to prison) back in their faces. AFTER all that, she married him and had his child.

She went on luxury holidays with him on this stolen money, enjoyed pointless designer shoes/bags/whatever, and she has never admitted or accepted that he or she has done anything wrong.

He's horrible to everyone, especially those he sees as 'lesser' than him (waiters/waitresses, elderly, disabled, vulnerable, foreign people) and crawls up the arse of anyone he sees as potentially worth sucking up to.

I've hated him from the moment I set eyes on him and hate him more with each passing year.

I think he's a sociopath and she is just a shallow materialistic selfish piece of shit.

This sounds exactly like a couple I know. Horrible people in every way. And huge social climbers

I don't lose sleep over what motivates people to do evil. It's always a proof of weakness, not much more. It's between them and their conscience- and ultimately nothing to do with me.

@Lolita Indeed, it's not your guilt to carry

Horrible headteacher. I worked in the school and she was a vile bully to staff and children. Had us faking the SATS results. Tried whistleblowing but didn’t work.

My Ex. Sociopathic, lying, narcissist. 6’6 of pure personality bedlam.

@WomenAreBornNotWorn

Anyone who defends or funds the meat industry. Animals are in cages now,they can't even turn around,the first time they will see daylight is on their way to be killed. I don't understand how anyone can shrug off this suffering.

Not all animals.

I buy high welfare organic meat. Then animals are cared for, happy and healthy.

@GypsyWanderer
I'm glad that monster is an ex. It's bad enough being awful to their adults, but it's a special kind of evil that hurts innocents like children and animals.

❤️ thank you. I’ve often thought it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a serial killer!

@Cowbells.

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.

Cowbells: 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.

• No. Absolutely not Val!

I would love to spill the tea, but I don't think I'm allowed to. MNHQ would probably just delete the post - I think it would count as libel.

But they are still slaughtered.

@WomenAreBornNotWorn

But they are still slaughtered.

Yes, and that is how it is supposed to be - for our food.

To me, worst human beings? Maybe not worst of all, but definitely Vegans are in that category.

My mother-evil narc bitch
I can tell stories about her that would come across as untrue as they are that evil

Her mother-I laughed the day that bitch died

Her father-ditto-my mother went mental that I refused to go to either funeral,I was ‘spiteful’ for not wanting to say goodbye to them both

My brother-he’s a narc/golden child and the biggest twat I’ve ever known

A woman I worked with-she was the nastiest,spiteful,rude,greedy and the biggest crook I’ve ever met
Her daddy was a copper

You could always PM us with a hefty clue.
Is she married to a TV quiz show team leader for example?

So glad it isn't Val McDermid. She looks so adorable.

Professionally I've met a lot of people who have done truly awful things. In no way would I ever condone them but they weren't evil or sociopathic either. They had committed truly heinous acts and absolutely were right to be locked up but most of them didn't come close to evil. They had been made that way
It wasn't built into them .. saying that they made their choice and they lived with it as they should.

I don't ascribe to the notion of excusing a bad childhood partly because my DP and DF had horrifically abusive childhoods. DP has experienced things that were truly horrific and made a conscious choice about how to behave. However I have met many people who were not evil but their acts certainly were.

I've met more people who I would truly describe as evil walking in plain sight. Often in roles that "help" people. One woman who worked for me (not for long after I got wind of her) who was truly disgusting. She manipulated our service users into using more and more , she screwed up heads up , actively tried to make them commit crimes because she got off on being in control. She got caught because she had been doing it to colleagues (many of whom were also in recovery). A truly vile human being that outside looked like a committed Christian who spent her life helping people.

She didn't , she slept with her best friends husband while best friend was having chemo (I mean he was an asshole and just as nasty) , claimed it was gods will they should be together , laughed when a service user had a fit in front of us , bullied two people out of jobs before my time and went out of her way to publicise a colleagues past around the area to teach him to trust in God's will that he should permanently be shamed for his drug use and she was "helping" him face his own failures.

The best I could do was dismiss her (obviously the marriage was none of my business and was not at all relevant to the job role) I wish to everything I could have stopped her working with anyone vulnerable but in those days we couldn't with the level of proof we had (more than enough for dismissal but less than DBS required).

She is without a doubt thr worst human being I’ve ever, ever met. No matter how fucked up or ill she was

You have a knack for hitting the nail on the head time and time again and seeing the above has sorted my thoughts out about something that I’ve struggled with for decades.

The bulletin “Matron” at a day nursery on East Sheen

I hear you. I still feel physically ill when I think of my days at nursery more then 60 years ago.

I’m sorry you lost your mum when so young. I had to go because my mum was unwell. Nothing else was possible.

CokeDrinker That's nice dear.

My ex stepfather and my current boss. Both bullying bastards who put me down everyday.

Apologies if someone has already said this, but it's really striking how many of these awful people were linked to schools. I suppose it's not that surprising as nearly everyone goes to school at some point and then many people have children at school, but there seem to be a lot of horrible school staff out there.

And I can add my own experiences:
My first mentor in my first PGCE placement was a really horrible woman who belittled me and thought my placement partner was marvellous. My partner WAS much better, but then she had worked as a TA and had teacher parents. I was completely clueless and the way to encourage me was not by browbeating and undermining me in front of the class.
Another teacher in the same placement would leave unfollowable instructions about what had to be taught when she wasn't there and undermined both me and my partner. I ended up thinking she must be doing it deliberately, and I wondered if she was worried about losing her job.
In my final placement I became sure my mentor was a sociopath. She would tell me to do certain things in lessons and then afterwards criticise me for doing them. She reacted strangely in certain situations, but everyone else thought she was absolutely wonderful and she was seen as a rising star at the school. I had to contact a counsellor at the university for support, it got so bad. A few months later I heard she had left the school and I would love to know why!

This sounds like I have a problem with mentors, but my second one was a normal human being and fantastically supportive.

Perhaps there is something about schools that allows a higher proportion of vile people to rise to the top. It's such a busy pressured environment, but if you're don't care that much about others it's much easier to take credit for other people's work. And as teachers don't all work together all the time perhaps it's easier to machinate your way to the top by lying, or telling different people different things.

@RockingMyFiftiesNot

A 'friend' who I stay friendly with because she is toxic enough as it is without falling out with her. Too many examples to list but she tells a lot of lies, and is delusional in that she will believe something to be correct, so it becomes fact. Even lying about her own children's achievements to hide any failure. Has caused hurt to me and one of my children as well as many others. Including damaging someone's professional reputation .when she is called out on things she quickly plays the victim, spreading lies about how named people have been unkind to her . It's made worse as we belong to a close knit but gossipy sport-related community She doesn't know that I rumbled her years ago but I don't trust her and no longer believe a word she says.

Do we have the same friend?! I am in a similar position to you, tight knit group, calling her out on her lies just feeds her desire to provoke arguments and the fallout from cutting her off would be far worse than the toxicity she brings. I keep her at arms length but am now, after years of her lies and drama, very wise to her behaviour. Socially she appears very popular, but I know many of her/our ‘friends’ can’t stand her due to all of the above.

@CokeDrinker sorry but this makes no sense. All these posters who know rapists, murderers, I even said about my ex being an animal killer. And you say vegans are one of the worst people? Even though you don’t know all vegans. Even though vegans do their best even if that falls short sometimes, the whole point of being a vegan is to do as little harm as possible. I’m not a vegan by the way and have met some awful ones but saying they are akin to people talked about here is not only absurd but also devalues these posters experiences.

What @GypsyWanderer said. Utterly ridiculous trollish comment about vegans and insulting to those who have shared genuinely traumatic experiences here.

Some people

Very fortunately I’ve never (knowingly) met anyone on the level of psychopathy some pps describe, but I had a friend who turned about to be a classic narc - absolutely awful, manipulative woman who ended up stealing from me, spreading rumours, etc, while pretending to be one of my closest friends. Worryingly she ended up setting up shop as a counsellor/life coach…

Another heinous woman was a previous line manager - she was the most embittered person I’ve ever met and hated any woman who was younger/more attractive/successful than her. She was a vile racist to boot and when I passed her in the street years later she gave me a creepy smile that chilled me to the core.

Absolutely nothing compared to some of these comments though. for everyone who’s suffered.

Eek - I'm a prolific reader, hope I'm not buying her books!
