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?

I used to be friends with a woman who hated children! Not like, oh no I'm not really into kids etc or someone who doesn't want kids or someone who doesn't like kid friendly activities. All of those things are common and totally fine of course! But she actively hated all children. At first I thought she was kidding and then I realised she wasn't! She would comment loudly about their physical appearance and mutter stupid child loudly enough for their parents to hear. End of friendship. So weird. I think probably a very damaged person, but even still. Just a very ugly thing to be.

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.
Makes me wonder if we have the same ex!! It's hard knowing you're stuck with them forever even when you've managed to leave! 8 years and he still finds anyway possible to make my life hell. I'm a calm laid back person normally and I hate the person he's turning me into. I've never wished Ill on anybody but him.

I’ve come across some absolutely awful people at work who have made my life a misery, but I’m going to give this award to my most recent ex manager. She is absolutely vile. I left because she was a nightmare to work for and took advantage of wfh to bully me behind the scenes.

I’d clocked her within about 2 weeks of her taking over the team and immediately started looking for other jobs - been through being bullied before and I wasn’t about to sit around and wait for her to get her claws in. I spent the remainder of my time there fending her off to protect my staff from her crap - always insisted she knew how to do my job better than me and tried to make me do things in a way that just wasn’t feasible (and once or twice illegal!) she absolutely hated that I wouldn’t do what I was told.

She’s all sweetness and niceness and no one would believe she was treating me badly - until I gave her my notice. At that point she went on the rampage against me and THEN people could see it! She made my last few weeks a living hell, arguing with me in meetings, blaming things on me, cutting me out of things that were my work and involving me at the last minute so it looked like I had dropped the ball. She didn’t even sign my leaving card.

Zorgothslugofdoom · 05/06/2021 14:34

Great thread - the worst person I have ever known is my previous boss. There's a long long list of how awful she was, but the very worst was when she phoned me, whilst I was in the middle of chemotherapy for breast cancer, to let me know that she was restructuring my team and I would be downgraded (with a 10k paycut) and maybe I'd like to consider voluntary severance. I will never forgive her for making a shit time even more stressful.

I've finished treatment now, got the all clear, and have a new job with a fantastic company who treat me really well and value my work. I should thank my previous boss really, as without her being such an evil monster I would never have looked for a new job. I'm making it my mission to poach (equally unhappy) members of my old team. If I never see her again, it will be too soon!

QueeniesCroft · 05/06/2021 14:34

Reading this thread, I realize that I have been very fortunate. I have suffered at the hands of spiteful, inadequate parents and been verbally, financially and sexually abused outside of that, but I've never come across anyone who I could describe as being properly without any redeeming features.

In my family (while I want nothing to do with any of them) it's quite easy to see how the damage has been passed down the generations. That hasn't made them any easier to cope with, but it has helped me to understand and (almost) forgive them. I'm so sorry for what others on this thread have had to endure.

Turbobaby · 05/06/2021 14:34

My partner's ex. They split up two years before we met, but she's been spreading lies about us having had an affair before they split up (when I lived 150 miles away and had never even been to the town I now live in, FFS, I don't know how we're supposed to have met). She calls me 'that thing' and tells anyone who'll listen that I'm evil and trying to steal her (grown up) daughters.

The first Christmas we were together, her and my partner's daughters were due to spend Christmas day at her house but they popped round to ours to say happy Christmas to their Dad first. She realised they'd done that and claimed they had betrayed her so refused to answer the door to them, just left a note on the door saying Christmas was cancelled. They ended up going back to their own flat and eating pasta instead of the Christmas dinner they were expecting.

We went on holiday and she broke into our house and helped herself to a load of stuff - she emptied my bedside cabinet and took it, she took the bathroom cabinet, the colander, the salt and pepper shakers, a load of other kitchen stuff, our toilet brushes (like, WTF?), the wood stacked in the fireplace, a load of my books (that she claimed were hers then threw in our front garden when my partner demanded them back) and other furniture. There are three windows side by side in our kitchen and she took the blind from the middle window so we'd have to replace them all. This was after the divorce had gone through and all assets had been equally split, none of the stuff belonged to her.

She pinned one of our friends up against the wall and threatened to punch her because she dared to say that I wasn't actually evil.

A very twisted and unhappy woman!

I feel exactly the same way about my ex, only he is dead ( died at the beginning of January) and I feel nothing but relief. Horrible man

@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.
Really? Plenty of livestock in the fields where I live.
Pebbledashery · 05/06/2021 14:35

It's a sad state of affairs when you wish death on someone and that would be more valuable than winning the lottery. I could never ever feel that way about anyone else in my life. If someone gave me a choice of him dying and a million pounds I'd take the former all day long as that's worth more than a million pounds.

What a shame that your soul searching seems to be very dark and negative!

My parents. Vicious spiteful abusive cunts. Left me with CPTSD

Blurberoo · 05/06/2021 14:36

A man I know selling rife machines to the very and/or terminally ill for £££. He charges more and more money if he thinks he can squeeze any cash out of them as they are so desperate. Anything from £2k to £20k per person that I’ve heard about, probably more. Exploiting vulnerable people like that is the lowest of the low in my book.

Maria53 · 05/06/2021 14:38

Hard to answer. I'm Scottish and I once knew a guy who hated gay people and English people. it was bizarre. I had never met someone who was so open about what a piece of work they were.

He was very good looking and quite successful but as soon as he opened his mouth it was all ruined. Patrick Bateman vibes when I think back on it.

Do you have children?

An adult do serious and intentional harm to my child - I would hate every fibre of their being and wish intense harm on them. I probably would be willing to inflict that harm on them myself

TidyDancer · 05/06/2021 14:39

A nasty evil cunt in my office. The only person I have ever genuinely wished death upon. Tried to destroy several people's lives and marriages. Heartless and soulless.

Please tell me that you have reported him
Disfordarkchocolate · 05/06/2021 14:41

Ex-MIL. It says something that none of her children managed a happy marriage and her husband said on his death bed he wished they had never got back together after separating for a short while.

@Turbobabt

Why on earth didn’t they return to yours to have Christmas dinner??

Pebbledashery · 05/06/2021 14:44

@Sometimesfraught82 yes. I have a toddler. He physically and emotionally abused her. He's physically and mentally abused me to the point that I wanted to kill myself.. But I wasn't going to leave my daughter motherless. The day I left him my DD and I were taken out of his house by police and a social worker and I had 3 black bin bags. Have built our lives back up from nothing. He is not her father. Her father is dead.

Pebbledashery · 05/06/2021 14:44

As in.. He is her father yes but no I don't consider him as her father as a father would not abuse his child and he's dead to her.

@Headlesschic

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.
I do feel your pain. My stepfather did the same to us. Box of family photographs , of absolutely no use or interest to him except as a stick to beat us with. He claimed they were “lost” in a move, but strangely all the photographs of my half brother , his son, survived. He was a great one for a bonfire (hope he is enjoying a very hot one somewhere) and I can imagine him standing there watching the pictures of our childhood curl up in the flames.

You were a small insignificant man Harold, your pretensions fooled no one, and the best thing my mother ever did was rewrite her will three days before she died - without telling you.

Charlize43 · 05/06/2021 14:48

My ex Boss, who was totally two faced. She was very chummy with my work colleague so all the problems I had with the said colleague were relayed back to her, making my relationship with her very difficult. I thought my ex Boss was my friend and during our working relationship I was always giving her recipes or plants from my garden. Eventually she restructured the department in a way so that I would lose my job. It was really hard for me as I'd been there a long time and had loads of friends. It resulted in me having a mini breakdown and spending 3 months in treatment for severe depression. It always amazes me how awful people can be with each other. Destroying someone's livelihood and self esteem is unforgivable. All these companies spend so much time paying lip service to mental health when they should really teach their managers.

Turbobaby · 05/06/2021 14:49

@Sometimesfraught82 we'd gone to some friends for our dinner, they would have been welcome there if they'd told us what was going on but they didn't mention it until the next day, I think they didn't want to dwell on it!

ovensoff · 05/06/2021 14:50

Harold Shipman, UK's worst serial killer who killed people because they were inconvenient to him or coming to the surgery too much.

But others stand out. I was on a management course years ago as China was starting to open up to business. One man said China was a good place to do business as the workers were all scared so worked really hard. And if any slacked the bosses soon sorted them out. He talked about them as if they were not human.

Sometimesfraught82 · 05/06/2021 14:51

@BlueLobelia

Someone who used his own 7 year old child as a drug courier. And butted his cigarettes out on his toddler's bare skin.
You reported to police presumably the nano second you found this out?
