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?

@DianeCherry

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!
Were you married to Boris?

@DianeCherry sounds like our vile prime minister.

Toss up between a couple of evil bitches who at different times in my life bullied and harassed me for their own gain; or the various males who have sexually harassed and assaulted me, and a former employer who effectively stole 2k from me by refusing to pay me my final months salary when I left my job. They're all complete arseholes and the world would be a better place without all of them.

My ex was an abusive twat too, might as well add him to the list.

MySisterTotallyIs · 05/06/2021 14:12

My sister is genuinely the worst person I know, a selfish, toxic liar who enjoys hurting others for her own glee.

I know she has lost friendships and relationships due to her awfulness and would love to know from them that I am not alone in "seeing her" as my family pretend the problem isn't there.

Aside from this two women who bullied a very vulnerable woman with multiple disabilities because she was popular and they didn't she why "she was any better than she had any right to be"

PreservativeFree · 05/06/2021 14:13

This has made me think, but I honestly can't think of anyone. Either I've been very lucky or I haven't noticed/have a very low bar.

I worked for a nasty bully, but he wasn't all bad, had had a terrible childhood and we reached an understanding where we could get along OK and I kept the worst of his behaviour in check. Which absolutely wasn't my job, but at least he recognised it needed doing.

I've know some people who've done some awful things but I think they've been one off occasions of poor judgement rather than rotten to the core.

RosaBudDrood · 05/06/2021 14:15

Someone from school. Evil, nasty bastard who mercilessly bullied me when they'd decided I no longer suited their life.

Will never forgive, and i'm usually quite forgiving.

BlueLobelia · 05/06/2021 14:16

Someone who used his own 7 year old child as a drug courier. And butted his cigarettes out on his toddler's bare skin.

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 05/06/2021 14:16

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.

Thank you. Cake is a good idea.

Bluntness100 · 05/06/2021 14:19

My step mother, she was physically and emotionally abusive to an extent she would have made the media and been jailed had anyone known. Persistent snd prolonged daily cruelty.

In hindsight she was clearly very unwell, which her mother did quietly tell me after one brutal attack where she had to come and get me, because her daughter thought I was actually going to die due to what she’d done.

she was infertile, and had multiple miscarriages and a still born, unable to have her own kids I suspect made her abuse her own step children. However she was at it before she even started ttc as she deeply resented us. So in reality it’s good she was unable to bring another child into her shit storm of a life.

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

Lalliella · 05/06/2021 14:19

Someone my DH used to work with sexually harassed a colleague who had confided in him that her cancer had come back (she didn’t want anyone at work to know) and in his disciplinary hearing about the harassment he told everyone about her cancer. Unbelievably he wasn’t sacked and she had to work with him after that. Some people I’m friends with know him and I really want to tell them what he did but she doesn’t want it speaking about so I can’t.

LeopardHawk · 05/06/2021 14:21

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.

MySisterTotallyIs · 05/06/2021 14:22

I am sorry Bluntness that's dreadful Thanks

RuthTopp · 05/06/2021 14:23

Monica - she started at our place of work as a manager, who couldn't even manage herself. She played on a minor illness and couldn't do a long list of things because it would cause for xyz to flare up.
She used to what only could be described as ' simpered ' and every male she came across be them married or not. Evil to every woman, tried to bully loads.
Eventually higher management ' sidelined' her and off she went to a far flung part of the company.

So sorry you endured such cruelty. I hope you're in a better place in life now.
CharityDingle · 05/06/2021 14:25

Two work bullies, at different times. I think one in particular would make a fascinating study for a team of experts. He caused a lot of harm to a lot of people.

Have a nasty neighbour who (apparently) thinks yelling will make everyone do what she wants, at once. Clearly a very unhappy person.

My Mum. She never fails to disappoint.

Pebbledashery · 05/06/2021 14:26

Really glad you've started this thread. It's made me feel like it's completely OK not to forgive.

WomenAreBornNotWorn · 05/06/2021 14:27

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.

bitheby · 05/06/2021 14:28

I'm a soft touch so I mostly have compassion for the bad eggs. Something awful must've happened to them to make it that way.

A man I knew swindled me out of £300 in increments with a succession of sob stories. I knew he was faking when he told me his dad was dying and needed more money for a flight. I offered to book it for him instead of giving him the cash and at that point he scarpered. I spoke to others who knew him and it turns out he'd been scamming several of us. We went to confront him at the place he told us he worked and they'd never heard of him and didn't recognise a photo.

None of us saw him again.

@Jahebejrjr

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.
Absolutely agree. A group of mums at the school gate led by one mum are the most vile people I’ve ever known - and I’ve known some pretty awful people! This mother single handedly made us not only have to move schools but put our house up for sale as we could no longer live in the village due to her rumours and lies. The worst bit was, a few years later some of the mums tried to apologise and say they could see what she was going but were worried if they stood up for my family she would turn on them. Absolutely disgusting. Now I am older and my chidlren have done really well despite their primary school experiences in long for the day I bump into her and tell her exactly what she did to us. However she would probably deny all of it.
Mankini · 05/06/2021 14:29

Sociopathic bitch who used to work as my husband's TA. Grandiose - anything you've done she's done but better (apparently - never saw any proof).

Told my H a pack of lies about a friend of hers being dead to try and get him into her confidence so she could have an affair with him - it was all bullshit and the friend is very much alive, well and oblivious to her claims. Is now qualified as a teacher - I seriously fear for any child in her care but there's nothing I can do.

MsMoonlight · 05/06/2021 14:31

My violent alcoholic father.
My enabling mother who went full on psycho when I had children and after years of abusing and rubbishing me, tried to break up my family by accusing my DH of being a paedophile.

The ringleader of the bullies at school - she died age 16, though.

The sociopathic head of a local school who denied my DD was being bullied, then tried to blame it on me. If I ever win the lottery I will hire someone to torture her slowly before killing her.
